Capture The Flag is one of my favorite game modes next to Big Team Battle. (12v12 BTB CTF. Give it to me). I’m really excited to see Infinite’s take on the revered game type. We have only seen a modicum of how it’ll play out but I have a feeling its going to be a straight banger this time around. I’m betting that its going to be a more immersive experience compared to other Halos. A tidbit of the multiplayer overview showed how taking an enemy flag would look like (6:19) - an alarm sounds off, that’s really awesome. I’m
really curious to see the kinds of new metas people are going to use to their advantage and the creative ways in which they’ll procure a flag quicker.
I’m super unreasonably hyped for the razorback and how you’ll be able to store objectives on there, I want to see how that looks like with a flag.
I do have a few questions about CTF in Infinite, which’ll eventually be answered with a future flight, or at launch. So think of this as a (personal) checklist:
- Flag jumping. Is it returning?
- Can you grapple hook a flag?
- Can you shoot while having a flag in your possession?
- Can you “spear kill” with the flag? (Unlikely.)
- Do grenade explosions (or explosions of any kind) move the flag in any way?
