Though I haven't had the time to play a lot Xonotic lately, I do have to say that I really like overkill. In my opinion it allows for the most enjoyable CTF experience available in Xonotic.
I like the normal Xonotic settings for every game mode except for CTF, it might allow for more teamplay but it really makes it a lot more boring to me. The reason I liked playing Nexuiz (almost CTF exclusive) where the moments where you had the flag and rushed back to your base while under heavy fire and only -just- making it thanks to speed, dodging unpredictably with the laser and good health management, since health meant fuel for movement. In normal Xonotic this feel is gone for me, but Overkill gives me the same kind of thrill (with the exception of the health management, but due to the weapons you are always close to death anyway, so that compensates for it).
So in short, everyone working on overkill, thanks for making CTF fun again.
Also:
Even if Xonotic might be faster, Nexuiz had a greater sensation of speed. Compare a car that slowly pulls up to 200 km/h on the straight highway, to one that is drifting in a tight, curvy race course at "only" 150 km/h. Even though the first one might be faster, the second one will feel a lot faster.

Funny, because IMO it's exactly the opposite. Bunnyhopping in Nexuiz is very clumsy, and racetrack is a testament to that statement.
