Seriously, did 343i think this through??? While I’m glad CTF is getting some love this week the very 1st thought I had when I saw that this was the new challenge playlist was: STATPADDERS INBOUND!!! The whole point of this challenge is to rack up as many points as possible so a good team will score the 1st 4 flags (or maybe 2 or 3) and then just Hold the Objective and farm kills to raise their score for the challenge. I guarantee if I were to check a certain players stream he would be doing this very tactic. There’s no incentive whatsoever to finish the match out and cap that last flag. Oh well, at least CTF will have a nice healthy population this week.
That was my first thought as well, K/d lovers galore lol. O well I’m just trying to stay in tier 2 anyway I keep myself about 3k off the lead. Don’t want tier 1 got no chance to win anything.
I got betrayed without the flag. I was using the mantis for base defense and my teammate was taking my vehicle health down so I betrayed him first. Then after 1 or 2 minutes of continuous shoting he literally took the last of my health out with melee hits and my vehicle explosion killing him was counted as me betraying him. WTF?
How can we expect anything good from this playlist If we’re going to get teammates like this?
While I agree with the premonitions and expectations, surprisingly I have not see any of that yet after about 10 matches. A lot of Lone Wolfing but havent seen the stat padding as much.
I played a few matches of CTF… and it has change… just the lone wolfing can ruin a match. Try and protect your flag, 3-5 from the other team rush you, while your team is gunning for the flag. Last week while I played, 1-3 ran for the flag, while others protected. It basically got got turned into a speed run for the flag.

I’ve already encountered an upsetting problem with this gametype. On the map complex we were running the flag back to our goal and getting killed from G’nade explosions+gunfire. The flag one of us was carrying glitch into the map wall.
The timer on it was counting down and 3 of us gathered around it but were unable to retrieve it before it reset.
The film clip is in my file share “Glitched Flag”
> From my experience in just two games, it’s a lag fest.
Yeah, I lagged two EMP blasts and a melee right into my own teammates. Funny and frustrating. Another time, I was trying to assassinate a guy, but he was close enough to the flag that I picked up instead–and I didn’t want the flag, but that’s life (and the death which quickly followed).
CTF is fine the way it is, its just the Lag and people that feel the need to kill their own team members to get what they want. That is excluding campers and that sort of stuff, but in the end they die if they stay there to long.
Yep, and I’ll start with warning about player GT: pochuck 2
If you get him for a teammate, expect to be betrayed for the flag.
Really wish I had the option to boot at that time but game still cant seem to tell accidental betrayals from intentional ones.
Does anyone else also get a mis-firing pistol when their carrying the flag soemtimes?
You pull the trigger once or twice and magnum doesn’t shoot? (while carrying flag)
I’m a huge lone-wolf. I’ve Personally carried and captured 4 out of 5 flags in capture the flag more times than I could count yesterday (I always let Coop get the 5th).If someone is good enough.It only takes one (or two for safe mesaures) to win a game.Also I do hate it when people drag out a game after 4th cap, Even when it’s my team.
