Social CTF Has Taught Me Something...

True, besides it’s broken as it’s only built for 4 vs 4.

I’d rather be terrible at the game than spend my time ranting on forums about how people who try their best are bad. This is literally the most pointless forum I have ever seen. You realise these people are probably bad - assuming they are and that this isn’t you running from a match you lost because you were steamrolled, which I don’t doubt - because they haven’t played much or are young. They might even just be naturally bad at the game, which is hardly something they can control. Or maybe - just maybe - they read the title of the playlist and saw the word social. Stop inflicting your opinions on the world.

I played one match (I don’t play Halo 5 that often and that bothers me lel) and it was going good, some teammates not so good but I had fun for the most part, the only teammate that bothered me was the guy who held on to red teams flag and hid in the back at the final cap…so we all TK’d him just to end the match.

trying to win =/= competetive

Happy with nothing? I’m perfectly happy with this game, just not some of the people in this game.
Also, why would I try making the game?
It would turn out as a buggy side scrolling mess, if that…and that wouldn’t solve the issue of players who seem to not have hands.

my understanding was that its a less competitive playlist, not playing poorly on purpose

I expect them to aim, and pull a trigger.
Then pick up a flag and move with it.
Then move to another flag to score.
I don’t expect them to all be going MLG mode with 25-0 K/Ds…
I expect them to play the game.
And not just camp with the flag when they can score.

But when they just sit by the enemy flag.
Or there are no enemies around…
The flag is next to them and is going to return to the enemy…
And then they run off to find more people to kill, rather than pick up the flag.

Which is astonishing to me as it requires such a low skill level to do, you go to the objective, pick it up, move it and die. Repeat.

Those are just the slayers, like me. I normally get the most kills in OBJ games with a bit of objective play but I leave that up to my friends since I normally slaughter the Emmy team for them XD

No it doesn’t, besides social I won’t actually social, it’s ranked. People need to get that concept

I totally agree Ive lose so many matches for that kínder of people.

Took awhile for you to figure that out. Even in ranked matches you’re plagued with quitters and people that don’t do well. But you can’t win all the games and everyone has bad matches. I feel the social matches have been more competitive than arena matches.

You would think so. I certainly expect it. But there really are those players that can barely manage getting one -Yoinking!- kill. Working together as a team of randoms to cap the flag can either go well or it can be a disaster.

I just hate it when they “carry” the flag and not “flag toss” it back to the home base. Seriously people, it’s much faster then a Horse…

I play the playlist and it’s a great place to chill out and have fun with flags :smiley:

its not mean’t to be serious but most players in social takes it serious for no funking reason, as if the’re playing rank playlist.

Flag tossing has a major disadvantage though.
You show the enemy team where you are.
