Watching MLG Dallas and I think we can all agree…
that the flag needs to be dropped in the TU.
Get a valid team, play the game, and then give your opinion. You cannot go based off of other peoples opinions when it’s just your own the really matters.
the CTF on adrift looked pretty active
And snip3down SuperSniped!!

What I can say is, I like classic CTF and believe it should have been an option, even if only for customs. It being left out is an idea so bad it reminds me of Armor Lock. 
flag dropping is a ridiculous tactic and you know it. i might actually play ctf for a change. not saying it couldn’t be a custom option but i like what i see.
I want my entire team to be gung-ho, master blasters, and 2 feet from the enemy flag, they all back away slowly, as not to touch it- locking it to themselves, until death. They fear it. And I…I rise from the dust and clutter…and I extend my arm, and ready my magic came-out-of-nowhere pistol. I will carry the flag TO THE END!

You are trying to compare two different gameplay mechanics. Yes, it should be made an option for customs, but 343 said they are just testing the waters. If it receives enough negative feedback, they will patch it back to traditional CTF where you can drop it.
Umm it played just fine, str8 rippin killed it. The game speed is much faster because of it.
I’m pretty sure he said the pistol was a 4 shot, far from defenseless.

4shot? 343 was saying it is still 6 shot, but just buffed up a little bit, if I remember correctly…

Yeah 4 headshot… the pistol has bloom… pretty hard to hit 4 head shots with bloom.
I mean it should have at least been an option as some others have said.

It should have always been an option. Their experimental CTF could have been force feed via matchmaking. Customs should be left up to the players.
Look, my friends and I have been playing Halo for CTF for the last 10+ years. This new CTF being jammed up our backsides in customs will go over like a lead balloon. I like the new ideas. I hate the elimination of old proven game types.
As long as you wait for support it shouldn’t be a problem, it just means that rushing the flag solo isn’t a good idea now.

The flagnum is a lot better than the standard sidearm version.

Faster maybe because of the carrier speed being normal. No flag drop would seem to have little effect on speed and more of an effect on killing options.
No more flag tossing up to team mates is a killer. Again, I love the idea of the new CTF. Just don’t get why the old version has to be held back.

When was it?
