You wrote a lot of words to simply tell us you are bad at map control, and are stuck in respawn when the enemy walks away with your flag. LOL
If we had forge now I would create the flag 100m sprint - just for kicks and giggles.

that actually sounds like fun, it’d be better if it was assault though… but we don’t have assault :
One flag - FFA - with 8 flags. You could do it with bombs too. I bet Usain bolt would make a guest appearance to promote it for 343!
Halo Olympics… how far can you throw the bomb!
That actually sounds like a bad idea. the guest appearance of an actual athlete in a game. not the other stuff

You don’t know what an exploit is.

He thinks shields are an exploit since he’s clearly from COD.
What you are asking is for 343 to turn Halo into another game. This has been an established meta for 15+ years. And Halo has a high skill curve when it comes to Competitive Halo. The problem isn’t this mechanic of the game, it’s that you’re getting destroyed by a team that set up a flag run. You make it seem like it is as simple as grabbing the flag and zooming off with it. Any competent team will shut you down quickly if you haven’t created that opening to get the flag out. Things like Flag Juggling are what make Competitive Halo tough. There are things that were used in Halo 2 or Halo 3 that would make your head spin. The BXR, grenade launching, crouch jumping. You have it good. I saw no one complaining about it in Halo 5. Maybe you should learn the mechanics of the game and get better, rather than asking for the developer to make the game easier. The reality is that Halo is a team game, and Flag Juggling only allows you to move as fast you normally could without a flag. But without your team around you, the other team is going to stop you every time.
This isn’t Call of Duty where 1 player can just go off and win the game on their own. Maybe in slayer but not in a OBJ gametype.
Or just bring back a weapon for the flag or oddball users to have again…
I don’t necessarily think a cool down is needed though. Flag juggling has been a thing in all Halo titles.

While I don’t agree with your solution I think flag juggling in Infinite is stupid. It doesn’t seem to be that much faster and if it is it’s so incredibly minimal it isn’t worth it. And in my opinion you just look foolish doing it; I feel the same about people crouching during gun fights when I am hitting them the whole time, you look foolish. But flag juggling has always been in the game, so even though I don’t like it and it isn’t very if at all advantageous in this game, I want it to stay.
Juggling has been around since the inception of halo ctf get over it

No thanks. Flag juggling makes delivering the flag more interesting as you have to vary with the angle and pace of it depending on the surroundings. You can also pass it on to a team mate who’s on a higher platform. Take that all away and you unnecessarily take away a lot of depth there is to delivering a flag.
Sprinting and walking are still viable too and necessary, even with the flag juggling being possible. You might have to carry the flag through corridors and tunnels every now and then where juggling would actually slow you down. And you sometimes you need to sneak the flag through some areas by walking (especially if you have camo and want to utilize that).
You have a very loose definition of what is an exploit if you truly think flag juggling is one just because it’s slightly faster than running. An exploit would be something that the developer didn’t mean to be possible to do. The flag juggling is supposed to be possible and the developer left it in the game on purpose. It is not an exploit.
An exploit would be launching yourself across the entire campaign’s map in seconds by sending a vehicle into the air in a precise way and grappling onto it in a correct angle. The melee spam you could do in the mp flights was also an exploit.
These new players sure are cute.

Juggling is fine, there is a risk in it. However I would like to see a 5 second cool down after capturing a flag before the same flag can be stolen from the base.
Translation: “I can’t flag juggle so I don’t want anyone else to”
