2 Big Let Downs

So I love halo multiplayer. I do play the campaign but not a single reason why I buy halo. So after reading today and they announced that in CTF you can not longer let go of the flag…I feel like that is horrible. Am I over reacting? I made a thread saying when I saw them carrying a gun its dumb and reminds me of COD and people disagreed. Well what now?

Also I saw you could throw the ball. Prettyu dumb, Now they said you can throw the ball as far as a nade.

Anyone else really starting to worrying how this game is going to play?

It makes sense that you’re able to throw the ball, but not being able to drop the bloody flag is absurd.

Being able to throw the ball seems like something that should have been added, but im not that bothered by not dropping the flag.

Being able to throw the ball is cool. I don’t like not being able to drop the flag though.

Hey now you can play football!!!

Yes.

So many threads on this already.

If you love Halo multiplayer you’ll adapt to the changes. They aren’t that huge.

I’m hoping it will be an option you can turn off and that classic flag will be an option in objective.

I just want people to stop playing Objective like slayer

I believe the issue with the flag was the announcements and the flag stealing while the ball can be thrown to keep it away from enemy hands. It is common sense throw flag you are trying to bring to your base off cliff or throw ball you don’t want anyone else to have off the cliff?

Rugby might be a better term. But that sounds unbelievably fun!

That’s called strategy…

> Anyone else really starting to worrying how this game is going to play?

Nope. On the contrary, It’s sounding like its going to play really well.

not being able to drop the flag is a stupid move, but being able to throw the bomb sounds like a strange feature but just wait there will be very imaginative work going on in forge.

Just like jewish people should adapt to the -Yoink!-, African American’s should adapt to institutionalised predisposition to poverty, and South African’s should have adapted to Apartheid?

As I was playing Oddball on MM today I had the realization that I was essentially playing ‘keep-away’ like some of us possibly did on the school playground or as a group to one person just to press their buttons. In real life keep-away… throwing said object to one another is the majority of the “game”… throwing the oddball makes absolute perfect sense.

Because you have to buy Halo 4?
Those people were FORCED (can you read that?) in those situations, you can simply play Halo Reach or 3
