ok, so in the new CE “classic” playlist, picking up the flag is a death sentence, everyone is running around with pocket snipers (CE magnums) when the flag carrier has a giant “kill me” sign on them when they get shot, reduced movement, and also the crappy flagnum.
my solution: Make it one hit punch kill like I old halos, this way your team still needs to protect you, but you can survive if an enemy is stupid enough to get up close (this is the CE “classic” playlist only btw, I think its balanced in all other game modes) .

Least you can thrust and clamber…
Honestly though I’d like the one-hit melee back, just because it was so SATISFYING to whack someone in the dome.

I can usually cap it easily just by juggling it. Especially on Battle Creek. I charge the flag and juggle it straight across Mid and bam. I get the cap, even if my shields are non existent.
If you don’t know how to juggle flags here’s how: Thrust and jump while holding the flag, right after that let go of it (weapon switch button), sprint and pick up the flag, repeat.

yeah, I know how to juggle, I just think that whilst you are holding it you are underpowered

Yea I can agree with that. Maybe the Flagnum could use a buff, even in Arena.

I actually think its ok I arena, carrying the flag should be hard, and I think the flagnum is just right I arena, but its just too underpowered in classic , and needs a damage buff , or as I previously mentioned, make it a one hit cqc like in old halos
