Flag Juggling, Yes or no?

So for anyone who does not know what flag juggling is, it is where you pickup and throw the flag whilst moving to increase the speed in which you can move the objective.

Now many people see it as a manipulation of the game or “cheating”, I would like to just point out how it is actually balanced, for the increase in speed you loose the stealth of just holding it. As the waypoint is constantly pointing out where you are running.

On a downside, The announcer does get annoying with the “flag taken” “flag dropped” over and over again.

So my question to you is do you want the classic flag juggle back?

Yes it should stay. It really has to if you think about it. You’re not going to make the game so that once you pick up the flag you can’t put it down till your dead. :slight_smile:

Uuuuuuuuhhh… Yes. And who would ever say that this is cheating. I’ve never had anybody say that to me.

If anyone else saw Ultimate RC’s video, he does make a great point for bumping up the movement speed with the flag to 100%, but I feel that having a slower flag-carrier with the ability to juggle the flag to move faster adds an interesting dynamic to the game. Sacrifice stealth for speed and vice-versa.

I don’t want it, it’s an exploit.

So was Forge.

I completely fail to see the relation. Flag juggling isn’t something that’s going to create a new game mode, it’s a button glitch on the same level as BXR.

One can call strafing an “Exploit” because not EVERYONE can do it or is good at it

but OP yes flag juggling should be in Halo 4.

No thanks.
The one reason I am against it is that damn announcer repeating himself every second.

Yes, It would give me an advantage (not).

> I don’t want it, it’s an exploit.

You must be joking when you said “it’s an exploit” If it was a exploit then it would’ve been patched in halo 3. Everyone who played an objective game has flag juggled or at least tried to, it’s a smart thing to do, So you’re not a walking target on the battle-field.

No, one cannot call strafing an exploit. At least not on the same level as flag juggling, it’s a button combination unintended.

I want useful flag juggling that actually makes you go faster.
As oppose to running at the same speed all the time with or without the flag.

Juggling has its sides, when you drop the flag, the enemy team becames aware of the flag location.

Go play MLG CTF and see how many people walk with the flag you won’t find one or i have not found one and trust me if it was a Gamebreaking exploit it would have been patched a LONG time ago.

Absolutely. It’s a trade-off: you can either hold the flag and stay hidden to the other team, at the expense of some of your speed, or you can move a bit a faster, but the other team knows where you’re running the flag.

As long as they fix it so the announcer doesn’t say “FLAG TAKEN! FLAG DROPPED!” over and over again it would be fine.

How is it an unintended button combination? I honestly do not understand why people don’t want the ability to juggle the flag.

It makes perfect sense! Juggle it to go faster, but then everyone will know where you are. Don’t juggle it to stay hidden, but you move slower.

> I don’t want it, it’s an exploit.

Deal with it. Oh, where have I seen this before?

No take it out it is annoying. Make everyone same speed. nuff said
