Capturing a balloon in the Big Balloon game type does not currently increase the number of PadStar medals for the respective player. However, since the medals are now displayed in the scoreboard, it would be good if capturing a balloon would also increase the PERS_CAPTURES. Also, the balloon icon above the player's head has already been replaced by the PadStar medal, so the experience should now be as similar as possible to CTL. Since the announcer speaks a "red balloon" or "blue balloon" after a capture, this could then interfere with the capture sound jingle. Perhaps this jingle should not be played in Big Balloon then.
