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.

let me guess, your playing in America.

CTF is not a social gametype plain and simple. CTF should be withing a ranked playlist called OBJECTIVE. Scrap team arena and just have slayer and objective. End of story

wow

It’s a warm up fun playlist I’d just use it to practice shooting also.

Realbillbutcher had it right I wish 343 understood the way we think. Ctf should be in an objective playlist not the social option for us. I’m so upset that halo 5 is so good yet just doesn’t “get it”.

i do get that there are aimbots, but he probably got killed by some kid with aim assist. they still shouldnt remove the playlist, though, even if a quarter of the players dont understand how to pick up the flag, since social is needed in h5.
