PSA: CTF is not Slayer

Just FYI

Capture the Flag is a team based objective of taking the opposing team’s flag and returning it to your base with your flag in place.

If you feel the need to pad your stats and “look” badass please go play warzone and annoy those people

This is why Halo is built on win/loss instead of just progression. Sorry you’ve been running into that. Most of the players I match with seem to get the concept just fine.

I hope you realize the guy who went 30-2 with a few flag defenses, pretty much putting the entire team on a respawn timer is doing more than you running in all commando with your assault rifle, melee technique. Don’t get all hurt that people outperform you. Takes one person to cap a flag and seven to cover him…

Just a FYI

Have you ever had a teammate grab the flag, get back to the base without getting killed, and just stand there not capturing the flag?

when the entire team is rushing a flag with one or two back at base you can end a game in less than 4 minutes

when the entire team wants to play slayer with one or two going for the flag its gonna be a long match

Dead men tell no tales. Nor do they defend flags.

i do and i tell them if they dont cap it in 5 seconds i will betray them and take the cap

this is especially frustrating on Recurve where people dont know how to get on top of the base to cap and ill shoot and t bag trying to get their attention but have to mercy kill them to end it

i have to be careful because you have 2 chances for betrayals

Counter arguement: The opposing team does the same exact thing… What do you do next? A bit of slay slay?

when you have 5 rushing the flag and defending the runner its not a problem

i understand where you are coming from but i have been in at least 4 matches today with both teams slaying it out in the middle with no attempts at either flag

Only been playing this for 5 days and saw it happen already

you seem to misunderstand

that is playing objective when you are defending/rushing the flag

when 12 out of 16 players are in the middle of the map just killing with no attempt at the flag for 10 minutes it gets stale

sorry it took a bit to get to your post

I agree, if you have a teammate who is wrecking enemy players and good at getting kills…he’s keeping them out of the match for a few seconds buying everyone else time to get the flag. I’ve seen players run into the enemy base all gung ho and they get the flag…get about 5 feet and die and the enemy resets the flag in a matter of seconds…nothing accomplished.

And I understand where you are coming from. I’ve had games like this, and I won at least one by taking the flag and running around the edge of the map. Won’t work every time but worth a try.

Resorting to personal attacks. Maybe you don’t understand what you mean.

I mean do you think some guy is going to read this thread and be like “Oh dang I didn’t know there was flags in CTF.”
