Yesterday afternoon the title update was released, which is great and all, but after its release, I noticed in the CTF playlists, there are now instant respawns. I don’t know if these two incidents are unrelated, but that’s when it started to happen. Capture the Flag is possibly the worst playlist you can have this problem due to the fact that with instant respawns you now have to essentially attack a bee hive of infinite bees in order to secure that flag. It’s insane, and borderline unplayable when compared to playing with the normal delayed respawn timers.
So, does anyone know if this was just some sort of hiccup in the system, or just a mistake on 343’s part? Either way it needs to be addressed come Monday’s usual playlist updates.
Same feeling here from me… I was just about to make a post saying the same thing.
I love capture the flag, but the instant respawn is just straight messing it up. It makes it practically impossible to get a cap . I think it definitely got messed up with the update. I have tweeted at Bravo, BS Angel, and waypoint to see if I can get an answer about it, hopefully just a hiccup and will be fixed monday
I really hope this gets fixed on Monday. CTF is one of my absolute favorite playlists, and as of now I can’t bring myself to touch it at all. Please post back in here if someone gets back to you via twitter, I’m very curious to see what’s said about this situation.
Will do… I keep playing it just because i love the CTF even with its flawas right now
I agree… There should NOT be instant respawn in CTF. Heck, I don’t think Halo should have instant respawn at all, but that’s just me.
I have fallen for the instant respawn in the rest of the gamemodes… but for CTF it makes it nearly impossible to cap the flag… when a player gets killed they spawn right away, almost right beside the flag. I can’t count the times that I have went for a pull, when no one around and then there was three people and I was dead holding the flag. Basically it becomes slowly inching the flag forward, or both teams push hard and both grab the flag. I really really hope it gets fixed soon.
Aww that’s terrible. I haven’t tried CTF since TU. They really need to remove Instant Respawn from every playlist but Infinity Slayer and Big Team.

hah! trust me, that is not just you 
It’s still possible to get a cap, you just gotta move through the areas where the enemies aren’t. Just wanted to say that. But yeah, instant respawn in CTF means that ever game goes to time…
First Infinity CTF and now CTF instant respawn… I dont understand nothing.
found a response from Bravo to someone else yesterday… must have missed it when i looked through… they know about it and said that some of the playlists got messed up because of the TU, so they are working on a fix
OH thank Based Bravo… Happy they saw this. Looking forward to Monday even more now! Majestic Map Pack, new chievos to unlock, and CTF being playable again, yaaaaaaaaaaaay!
