Why do some people not look at the match objective before the game starts? Why do I have to put up with my team completely ignoring the enemies flag, blatantly walking right past it simply to score a few kills and not focusing on the objective?
It’s honestly getting to the point of ridiculousness. Too many times I’ll have the flag, be nestled in a position just waiting for a vehicle to come along and pick me up or for some support but I’ll be waiting for a whole 2 minutes or so before I have to make a break for it, get spotted then die. Then when I respawn I see all three vehicles still parked at our base…
I’m talking more BTB than anything obviously. Why do people focus more on kills in CTF than anything else?
InB4 play in a fireteam. I’m a casual player and don’t have the time to round up the boys at a specific time every weekend. Just would be nice if people actually focussed on the objective for once.
InB4 the first response is some random saying “lol this never happens to me so git good boyo the problem is you”.
InB4 what do you expect, it’s BTB.

I know the feeling. I usually capture the flag and no one helps me or gives support at all most of the time. I don’t what with people these days.

Man you wouldn’t believe how many CTF games I’ve played recently where there’s just killing going on for 8 minutes, then I’ll just leisurely stroll into the enemy base and walk out the front door, legging it all the way back to base for a cap and everybody around me is just too busy fighting. It’s hilarious actually. Nobody will notice I’ve got the flag and carrying it. No enemies trying to kill me and no teammates trying to support.
Is there maybe an issue with the ingame announcements and waypoint/ notifications not being noticeable enough when a teammate is carrying a flag etc?
Oh I know OP, I agree. This is why there needs to be a Team Objective playlist either 4-4 or 8-8. I’m thinking BTB would be better, so it’d look like this:
BTB - Team Slayer
BTB - Team Objective
I love CTF games in BTB when two teams are actually playing CTF! I highly doubt they’ll do it because they don’t want to take players away from bloody dumb Warzone, ugh!!! (sorry just not a huge fan of it and what it’s brought with it, aka REQ packs)
It’s JUST as bad in arena CTF & Strongholds.
There’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed but a good portion of CTF is out-slaying the other team… The “push” has to be right though.
If the flag is uncontested, then absolutely they should move the flag… sometimes, if pressured, they should go in just for a touch to keep the point alive, and sometimes you should pick up a kill or two before moving the flag again.
It’s all situational… but yeah some people take the slaying part a little too seriously, all for the sake of K/D.
No dude the point of CTF is to get kills to rank up those commendations for Achilles duh. How else are we suppose to do it? From actually playing the game over a long period of time and not just farming it in every game possible??
All jokes aside I feel you bro. People need to PTFO in objective gamemodes. Also cover the carrier like damn.
All they would have had to do was make a commendation for flag captures/capture assists. Instead, they made them for defending your flag, returning your flag, and killing the carrier. All defensive medals. I never once went for the enemy flag while I was grinding to complete flag comms.

Literally just came out of a game where my teammates just drove past me in a warthog while I was carrying the flag and kept driving LMAO is this real life.

People have been ignoring the objective in order to pad their stats since Halo 2.

Dude this is most definitely real life.
It doesn’t help when you have a mic and say hey let’s load up the warthog and go get the flag and then no one does or some guy drives you straight into the wraith to get triple killed and no one else has a mic. Terrible at teamwork, I agree with the BTB slayer and BTB objective playlists. Strongholds isn’t bad it’s most CTF that no one trys at.
a. It’s called “Kills/Deaths,” not “Captures/Deaths.”
b. If you want team work then you need to play with friends and spartan company members, not randoms. And you need to use your mic.
c. When the dev removes all objective gametypes to their own playlist then I bet you’ll have a lot less trouble along these lines.

Haha I said “InB4” in the OP so… no. Aint nobody got time for spartan companies. People should play the objective of the map period and or at least support those being the objective beach.
Objective game types started taking a dive since the inception of the kill/death ratio. It wasn’t like this back in the late 90’s. People actually played the objective back then. Those who place importance on this stat started figuring out that they can increase kill/death by concentrating on kills when others would play the objective. This was extremely apparent in Halo Reach with the addition of daily commendations when you had to get multikills. Easiest playlist to achieve that was in king of the hill when everyone was standing in the hill.
Unfortunately, no company has caught on to this behavior and tried to curb it. Tying rewards to objectives is the only way to deter that behavior, but nobody does that anymore. I think that the only viable objective game type anymore is defend and destroy.
I’m the person with a sniper getting into position to give cover fire to any attackers coming after the flag, or parallel to the carrier waiting to blast anyone who spots you
Farmers, it’s all about the kills… kills, kills and more kills
Depends what rank you’re in. In higher ranks, it’s slayer when we get to the flag, and then once 2 or 3 are dead, you run the flag.

Then the reality is get better, you cant force players to play the objective.
Anyway, if you don’t see how everyone else playing slayer isn’t a blessing, then I don’t know what to say.
