Maybe but then again they could make Capture The Flag more traditional, sorta like historical reenactment in a sense. That way they're still in touch with their roots but when serious fights happen they would break out the heavy armor and weapons to be better equipped.

If I remember correctly when Percy fights Ares at the end of TLT Ares uses a two handed longsword or greatsword, so I'm not too sure tradition is much of a big deal, especially if it gives an advantage to be nontraditional. Plus it's hard to think of the gods interfering like that over generations, coming down from Olympus to say 'no you can't forge that, it's too new of a style' doesn't seem like something that would happen to me.
