Holding the skull and not been able to shoot was the whole point of the game. In team games you had to rely on team cover and with one-for-alls you had to see how long you could evade enemy fire.
Same with the flag, if you could just turn around and fire then it would take away the whole exciting buzz of knowing you can't protect yourself and having to get home to your base.
Also, I heard somewhere that you can't drive while holding the flag. Sounds sensible. As nipping in and out with a ghost seemed a pretty cheap (but effective) way of winning. I reckon this will increase the amount of strategy by leaps and bounds. Think about it, once you have the flag, you either have to run the length of the map or mae sure a team mate is there to evac. you.
