Capture the flag is now -Yoink- can we please have the old settings back , having to wait 35 seconds to return your flag is -Yoinking!- -Yoink- it now takes no -Yoinking!- skill to score , you have so much time to -Yoinking!- get back to the flag you can walk , and what the -Yoink- why is it 35 seconds anyway you kill the person with it wait 30 seconds they kill you or your teammate guarding it move 5 steps die and you have to wait another 35 -Yoinking!- seconds . Why the -Yoink- can you not drop the flag either does your spartan suddenly began -Yoinking!- limited , you can’t drop it how -Yoinking!- -Yoink- . It was better when people had to stand over the flag to return it and when you could drop it , granted though the magnum is a good idea it still -Yoinking!- sucks
> Yup. Capture the Flag in Halo 4 is pretty bad. Flag reset times are too long, there are no power weapons on map to break set-ups, and cough boltshot.
Exactly it’s limited how you can’t drop the flag either , so -Yoinking!- dumb . Why can’t they improve upon it like oodball where you can throw the ball that’s made it much better
So taking away the -Yoink!-s, it appears you have two major issues with CTF.
Flag reset time: I agree, the flag reset time is too long. On many maps teams can capture the opponent’s flag by just charging the flag, getting a touch, and moving it just slightly. They do this over and over and without any strategy, skill, or teamwork.
Not dropping the flag: initially I thought this was a terrible idea, but it plays out better than I originally expected. I would like to see the option to drop the flag for custom game modes, or at least the option to hold a button to pick up the flag, but it isn’t a game breaker to me.
