Can we please have flag at home to score?

Does anyone remember the good old days of Halo? Where there were intense standoffs with both flags being away from their homes. Flag returns should be instant and flag should be at home to score in Halo 4. I’m afraid CTF has taken a turn for the worse, and this isn’t even mentioning the new changes made in Infinity CTF.

This one I don’t get.

“We hate bloom, it slows the game down.”

“We hate AAs, it slows down the game.”

“We hate sprint, it slows down the game.”

“We love 10 min standoffs in CTF because we have each others flag.”

Lol, wut?

Game’s Gold. Too late now.

  1. You are the only person I’ve seen to show any concern over this feature.

  2. There is no such thing as “infinity CTF,” its just CTF.

Have you ever played a good Halo 1 CTF match? Guess not.

Can be changed in game options.

I’m sure other people don’t like guarding a flag for 30 seconds either and still being able to score even though you can’t control your own flag.

Before it was Classic CTF, 1 Flag, Speed Flag, Neutral Flag etc…

Now its just generic mainstream CTF we see in every other FPS.

This is my only beef with the take on CTF, in previous Halos, I could take the initiative when the enemy was one flag away from scoring and they went to grab/did grab our flag. I in turn infiltrated their base and just as they’d be about to deliver or somesuch, I’d soar away, denying them the score and somewhere down the line, turn the game around.

Those are the amazing capture the flag games, not - which teams gets to 3 at the quickest.

Exactly. The mentality of the game nowadays seems that you can no longer deny people anything, because that’s no fun for the team being denied and they might get mad. I got all this way to score the flag and I can’t because my team didn’t also guard our own… people would cry and ragequit. Oh then you died and it got instantly returned yea definitely ragequit now.

The new CTF is to encourage teamwork, there’s nothing wrong with this. It just means the things you USE to do, you wont be able to do anymore
