They talk about customs being so stripped down and with abundant options, but this? What is this? The new era of flag is embraced everywhere?
Wow, are they trying to ruin CTF?
What? That makes no sense, why wouldn’t they let us drop the flag?

Holy -Yoink-.
Who’s bright -Yoinking!- idea at 343s was this??
FAIL
well, CTF is now dead.
How are we supposed to play Classic CTF then? Will the Classic Playlist be Slayer only?
Dumb decision, seriously.
No option at this time… the game isn’t gold yet…

Good point Batman
I really want to see the reason behind this gruesome decision. Maybe its so connections are more stable…
I really have no clue.
> No option at this time… the game isn’t gold yet…
Yeah, that’s my only hope. Still, why has this not been an option from the get go? Did it really take that long? I’m laughing from the extreme absurdity…
This is stupid.
Less customization = bad (not that no flag drop is good in MM)
I think 343i did this to prevent flag juggling. I hate it when it happens in every ctf game in mlg and there’s barely any time to catch the flag because its moving so dang fast.
I have a better solution to prevent flag juggling: Instead of having the flag soar through the air after dropping it at speed, have the flag always drop straight down, regardless of velocity. This will force “Pro Gamahz” to actually carry the flag fairly instead of exploit the system.

Every time somebody drops the flag a player lags out.

but i doubt there is enough time to animate and code it
I love that fact that you can’t drop the flag, but it should be a option in Customs. The more options the better.
If this got through testing…what other stuff have we not seen yet? CTF in competitive AND casual play is dead.
“At this time” are the words we can cling onto.
How do you know this? And if this is true, it only proves that they have it out for competitive play.

I’m just trying to be optimistic :\

What? Bungie allowed mlg to flag juggle. It wasn’t some exploit. If you notice in the other playlists, you can’t juggle the flag.
