What features do you want back in halo 5’s ctf. Do you want instant pickups or do you want to press a button. Do you want to be able to drop the flag. Here is my opinion: so it isn’t instant pickup, but once you pick it up, you can’t drop. To give you an advantage, the waypoint above your head disappears when you crouch, and you can move slightly faster. That way you could still hide in the enemy base till someone came to pick you up. Also even if your standing, the waypoint isn’t visible across the map only if your closer to the flag carrier. This way the flag carrier would still have a chance, while also needing teamwork to win. Give your opinions below.
Oh yeah, you can vote for more than one option. 
I just think the Flag should be a duel wieldable item, so if you are holding a magnum you can pick up the flag in your left hand. Same goes for an SMG or any other secondary weapon. Beyond that I think CTF should behave pretty much as it used to.
The kill waypoint wouldn’t be so bad if there was no instant pickup and you could drop it. The big thing I want back is the flag dropping, I don’t care so much about flag juggling, a feature that could easily be mended just with a sprint delay and announcement delays with out the need to make it undroppable. The game just loses so much without the ability to drop the flag, it’s like removing ball passing in Grifball.
Classic setting as well should be possible to recreate in customs.
We now have Ricochet, which focuses on moving and passing the ball to a goal.
Because of this, I feel the Flag in CTF should never be able to be dropped in matchmaking, to set it apart from similar gametypes. Flag Juggling and Flag on-back can remain customs options, but should not be the standard. Flagnum is alright, but should have the ability to be disabled in custom games, and possibly in the competitive playlists.
The flag should also require that you press RB on it, so you don’t accidentally pick it up when you have a power weapon.
On the topic of custom options, the flag carrier should be able to be given his own traits, such as movement speed, shields, etc. If this is already possible, just disregard this message.
Slightly off-topic: Flagnum should be an option for other gametypes, such as Oddball and Ricochet.
CTF is my favorite playlist in Halo 4, and I really enjoy the changes they’ve made. I feel auto-pickup and the inability to drop the flag balance out the Flagnum, and all mesh together to make a unique, fresh gametype that I very much enjoy.
Give players choices in Custom Game options, but there should remain a standard gametype with which most players should be familiar with.
I’m fine with automatic flag pickup and I’m fine with not being able to drop it. However, it should be one or the other, as opposed to both. Out of the two options, I’d pick the inability to drop the flag over auto-pickup. This way, a player makes a conscious decision to become the flag carrier, and they must remain committed to doing so.
As for the Flagnum, I’m not sure. I feel that if you are not able to drop it, it should be enabled. However, disabling it would encourage teamwork, as your teammates would have to cover you to ensure you make it back safely.
The marker above the flag carrier is very nice for those games where nobody on your team is communicating, but I feel it also serves as an excuse to NOT communicate, as well. So, for the sake of teamwork and communication, leave it disabled.
I would make “instant pickup”, and “flagnum” being unable to drop the flag as options for custom games. I didn’t really like those changes in Halo 4. Instant pickup could sometimes interfere in combat if you accidentally moved next to the enemy’s flag (enemy player noticed to near the flag, for example). Flagnum felt like it was againts flag carrier’s vulnerability, and being unable to drop the flag decreased the amount of stuff you could do with the flag (juggle flag and be detected or move slowly without being detected).
I would like to have an option to let the flag carrier carry weapons or even give them a weapon while they carry a flag. It would be fun to give a rocket launcher for the flag carrier.
Bring back Classic CTF and keep the Flagnum and whatnot in Custom Game options .
