I seems its hard to win a game of ctf on that map. Played two matches and both tied
Need a good team, that communicates well.
Once you get the flag over the hill it should be easy. But getting it over the hill is the hard part.
Always try to control the hill and pelican. This allows you control of most of the map.
Your conclusion on this false accusation is over two matches?
Maybe the teams were evenly matched.
Pretty much whoever controls the hill in the middle seems to win I’ve found. If no-one wins the battle for the hill and splaser spawn then it’s usually a stalemate.
I think he means 8v8. The 5v5 one in the CTF playlist rarely ties fir me. I played 2 in a row today on BTB Skirmish and tied 0-0 both times. I feel it’s a tad impossible.

I’ve found Ragnarok easier to score in the 8v8 then Complex. Complex is really hard to try and flag carry in 8v8. The flag resets much quicker. But yea trying to flag carry in 8v8 is harder on any map really.
It’s a difficult map to play CTF on, but if you do win, you actually worked for it!
5v5 is pretty unbalanced its a fair bit luck, but 8v8 is more a test of skill and communication, if you can get it over the lift and over the hill, you’re normally set!
If your team can control top mid, the game is a lot easier!
I find it really easy and haven’t lost a match on CTF Ragnarok and Im the one with the flag. Its easier for red team since if they go across the cannon man they have the gap in the rock for the stream to take cover.
Heres a tip get a warthog take out all the enemies and keep the hog as the distraction whilst you or your teammate grabs the flag. The hog will be on really low health so don’t bother using it unless the other teams has just respawned, otherwise take the cannon man and baton pass the flag back if you have to, don’t run straight ahead doge in and out of cover and take a few pock shots at them to keep the from moving up when your past the hill just hope to god your team can slow them down or fend them off.
It pretty much would be impossible if the team doesn’t communicate and have a plan. Which, with random matchmaking is pretty much the case.
There are 2 reasons that make it so easy to tie:
-
There is a waypoint over the flag carrier’s head. That means that there are 8 people watching the flag, ready to shoot the next person to touch it.
-
No banshee. The banshee is a great vehicle in killing, and distracting. It would prevent ties most of the time.
I don’t see 343 fixing the first thing I mentioned, but they could easily bring the banshee back.
Add another variable to the ctf on ragnarok for good or for worse, stats boosting and like any capture the flag match, afk and quitters, they a play huge role on the losers side.
Even back in the Halo 3 days, it was a hard map to win/lose on, every game virtually ended in a tie.
In the couple of games I’ve played it on more people are talking over the Mic, it seems to require good communication to win 
Ragnarok is my favorite map for ctf after Exile. Have a mantis in the middle of the field and don’t let the other team get the spartan laser.
Like everyone’s said teamwork is key.
Get the spartan laser, kill their mantis, and send a warthog crew over there, sounds easier then done, but warthogs are awesome in CTF.
They should bring the banshee back on ragnarok for 8v8.
Its better on big team than the 5 man team of the CTF playlist.
Try to make a push for the flag at the same time as another player, that will increase your chances of scoring even if you aren’t talking to each other.
My team actually managed to win on match…but its was during overtime…But I really do enjoy BTS (CTF)…Just wish they added more maps for it.

It would be so much easier if we couldnt spawn with plasma pistol and granades.
So we could use more warthogs.
