I really hate that 5 min lockdown, it should be at least 10 min. I have to rush and capture as crazy to make it in good time as an attacker. While I can simply relax and camp as a defender. It is very unbalanced.

Ending a one sided game early is preferable to a full length spawn camp imo.
I feel like I do more playing around and watching the menu than I do playing the game.
I LOVE Lockdown and here is why.
The short version: It's like the Mercy Rule in baseball.
Live with it a bit and it grows on you. Think of it like a tactical retreat. In the real battle there were constant retreats by both sides.
The Attackers have the opportunity to finish the game before its 15 something minute timelimit.
So should the defenders. Being a defender and seeing that 15 minutes and 200 reenforcements is kinda blah.
To bring it back to the OP's TF2 reference: HAVE you played dustbowl round 3?? It's horrid! 15 minutes of the defenders owning the attackers with Solder/Demo spam.
You don't want an OVERPOWERED defending team owning the attackers for 15 minutes. Most of the time it entails the server clearing several times and refilling with new people who are then owned by Defense somemore.
Lockdown is a GREAT thing. I
