If you play on normal spawn rate servers you'll see blue win a lot more :\ The reason red wins most of the time is that the servers screw around with

According to Valve's <a href="http://www.steampowered.com/status/tf2/tf2_stats.php" title="" rel="nofollow">official TF2 stats</a>, RED wins over 80% of the time! Even so, Gold Rush remains the most-played map, closely followed by Dustbowl (where RED wins over 60% of the time). Gold Rush is one of my favorites, but the majority of rounds never make it past stage 2. Speaking of Gold Rush, Valve should really balance the map to give the attackers a better shot at winning.

We already have crap health, crap delayed stab animations and crap invisible cloaks that last barely long enough to make it halfway across a map assuming you don't bump into someone crammed into the doorways on maps meant for 16 people, but instead have 24-32. @James:

I'd like to see a Moonraker style space station. Teams have to set the other team's spaceships' self-destruct, the other team can choose to fight off the rapidly spawning attackers or escape to another area by accruing 'escape points' allowing them to escape (think of other time accruing based multi player games, I think UT called them domination). This allows the attacking engys to have something to do/protect rather than build teles and then sit about watching the others. @Cigol
