Flag exploit ruins the fun

Without reading any comments bar your post. Have you literally ever played a Halo game before? Do you also think Oddball resetting is an ‘Exploit’? This stuff is now considered a core mechanic in Halo. They ain’t gonna change it. Because changing it will upset the pros, long term fans, Ranked players, etc etc etc.

Not gonna repeat what everyone else has pointed out, but this is so easy to do that it’s definitely easier to just do it yourself rather than try and get 343 to change it.

Also, it does reveal the flag location so there is even a balancing feature, if you really want one.

It’s called juggling. It’s been a thing since the very beginning. It’s not exclusive to Halo either.

If OP saw flag bouncing they would lose their mind

They just might… look at the AR LOL… and how easy and broken it is to use… 343 is catering to the extreme casual. They haven’t given us a decent precision start. EVER.

It’s always broken ARs and pocket DMR magnum. JFC…

You must be new to the Halo series huh? This has been a thing since the very beginning of the series.

Honestly I’m surprised they didn’t “fix” this. They usually LOVE to change things that don’t need to be changed.

think about the outcry if they change this. If im not mistaken you cant flag juggle in h4

I actually think flag juggling got somewhat of a Nerf recently. If I remember correctly, in the old games the flag carrier was visible to the enemy no matter what. Here your location is hidden, unless you sprint or flag juggle. So you have to sacrifice being hidden. A lot of times in Infinite even though I can juggle, I won’t, because I’m trying to be sneaky 🥷

Having the option to be sneaky is a good thing, so it sounds like you support the supposed nerf. However, once you are spotted, I believe they can see you (hopefully I’m wrong cause that’s dumb). Either way, you can move the flag in this game quite quickly with Sprint+Jump+Throw+Sprint+Slide… and if you have Repulsor or Grapple, it can even be faster. I don’t think it’s really a nerf, then. :grin:

Well, there are other buffs to it as well. Those are solid points. The visible I would say is a Nerf in that non-juggling now has a benefit, but yeah, it definitely can be way more effecient now to juggle if you know how.

Imagine losing Objective matches because you got outplayed, and complaining to nerf the game, because you can’t also just throw the flag, power cores, oddball, etc, like everyone else. Just throw it too. Literally just gitgud. 20 years of Halo says the same. (Except Halo 4. We don’t like Halo 4 CTF.)

You throw the power cores? I thought the meta move was to repulse all of them to your base at once :rofl::rofl:

I’ve done that too since the last betas, but if I don’t have a repuslor, I still sprint slide juggle 2, 3, maybe even 4 at a time, as fast as the server lag lets me, while the new to Halo players take their sweet time walking one core the long way, making us lose. You get a medal for putting 3 in at a time called “All That Juice” or something.

I’ve only recently started learning how to Flag juggle and my god it does make a difference

No the flag carrier has pretty much always been hidden.

The positive thing is now you know where the flag is. You just need to get their fast enough.
