It seems like almost every CTF game I play everyone just goes for kills. Its ridiculous! I’ve played tons games where no one scored any points what so ever. I’m always the only one that’s doing all the work and actually trying to capture the flag. If you’re just going to sit around and just kill the entire game…go play Slayer. and when my team actually does decide to go for the flag take warthogs BY THEM SELVES over to the enemy base! WTF Use a mongoose if you’re going to go by yourself! Don’t waste a warthog!
I know it sucks but a lot of people just use CTF to try to boost their k/d, which is pathetic in so many ways.
I’ve never understood when you’re running to your empty allies warthog, even putting maybe 2 assault rifle rounds in his hog to get his attention, and he still drives off…ugh.
Or when you’re in the warthog, and you’re beeping at a guy to get in and he runs right past you to take the long route,
I personally experienced a lot of this in Reach.
I play oddball to get kills. I don’t see the big deal, unless you want wins instead of kills.
This is what happens when people become more obsessed with their K/D Ratio then playing the game
> I play oddball to get kills. I don’t see the big deal, unless you want wins instead of kills.
play slayer then, you and your teammates should be going for the objective. Stat padders ruined objective gametypes. I dont know why 343i didnt take out kill/deaths counting, it should only be wins in objective games.
Hahahahaha.
You just reminded me of all those frustrated moments I’ve played in Halo over the last few years.
I think it’s really because it has such a broad base of players, you get a bunch of those kids who don’t really know what they’re doing.
I do it because it’s more fun then slayer. The games last around 10 minutes and don’t have a scoring cap from kills.
> I do it because it’s more fun then slayer. The games last around 10 minutes and don’t have a scoring cap from kills.
Then host your own Slayer match. Set timer to 10 minutes, and set scoring to infinite. Don’t ruin the fun of CTF for folks who want to play CTF. What little fun there is to have playing the same matchmaking games for hours on end can be shattered pretty easily by jerky players.
The last time I saw objective kill-farming like this was in Black Ops I when my buddies would suggest doing it for challenges and attachments.

Because you’re ruining the game for people who play it the right way. Slayer is for kills. Go play that. You’re being a stupid -Yoink- to everyone around you.
Dont worry once CTF gets Infinity as a vote option aka Ordnance drop all of that will be fixed, right?
Lol.
They should be playing Slayer or Regicide then. They ruin everything for players. As every statement OP has for CTF, I have that for almost ALL CTF matches. Honestly, K/D doesn’t mean much anymore. Example:
You have a K/D of 2.3, and your opponent has a K/D of 1.5. He wins. How did that happen? You have no skill, essentially. And K/D did not help you in that situation.
VVV
Not directing this at anyone, just an example.
It’s this generation of gamers. Just want kills, no PTFO
It’s A LOT better when at least another person in your team has a mic, trust me.
You know why people do that? Because vanilla CTF is a gigantic fail. The forge maps have it done right.
Well thanks to 343i, even the flag carrier gets to shoot a pistol now, so…
You know, I would have liked it if kills and deaths didn’t count in CTF…

People that do this, believe it or not, are actually expressing selfishness.
They’re hoping that their teammates will actively go for the objective while hanging back and collecting kills. They do not have the team’s best interest at hand but rather their own. In a figurative sense, they are leeching.
I have a close friend that does this, which is why I refuse to play OBJ games with him: only Slayer.
yeah every CFT i usually score at least one point, i’m always on the offensive. if i don’t score i usually bring the flag halfway before dying and my team finishes it off. the last few games i have tried to play defense and they have all been final scores of 0 to 0.
…what gives? am i like the only player who ever does anything on my teams? i’m a very objective player, playing for kills get’s old for me and i find obsessing over kill/death to be pointless and i don’t care for it. so if i get a death for trying to grab the flag at least i’m doing something for my team. objective is more fun
