Hey guys, first off I’m not sure if this is the right place to do this, so apologies for that if I’m in the wrong place. I’ve been thinking about getting a CTF team together instead of leaving it upto matchmaking, which in my opinion either leaves me with an awesome game or a terrible game, with nothing in between.
If anyone is interested, send me a message my GT is Kingxex.
Preferred stats:
KD of 2+. My KD is 2.3 (but I play flag defence so it’s naturally higher), I’m not too fussed about this as some people who are brilliant at slayer suck at CTF since they won’t go for the flag and I’m aware that people who do will die more often, but a positive KD is always a bonus.
History/love of CTF and knowledge of the maps (weapon spawns etc). I play CTF almost exclusively now.
Positions available:
2 x Flag Offense (someone to constantly go for flag captures, 1 of which is my friend, nice stats, KD)
2 x Floater (someone who hangs around the middle of maps and can react to flag escorts and stolen flags, who doesn’t mind playing defensively or aggressively)
From my experience a team of aggressive players neglect their own flag and a team too defensive eventually lose the team to power weapons and map positions.
Damn, something I forgot to mention, a requirement will be some sort of headset. I don’t care if it’s the bog standard Microsoft one as long as you can chat with the team. English only please.
I don’t have the highest KD (1.39) but I definitely have what it takes based on my Capture the Flag CSR of 14.
I’ve played 216 games of CTF, and I agree that it’s very hard to play with random members. An organized strategy will beat brute force every time!
The only issue is that I might not be able to go online the same time as you, and you failed to mention when you’d be playing. There are going to be days when I won’t be around to play Xbox. Let me know the general times (with the time zone and country) and I’ll see if it’ll work.
And I don’t know if you already knew this, but parties of 3 or more people will only be matched with opponents of 3 or more people, with extra spaces filled with random players. That means that your team of 5 won’t go up against a team of random players. It’ll be your team of 5 against a party of 3, 4, or 5 with the remaining spots filled with random people. This can lead to both teams having strong strategies, so we won’t necessarily win easily.
I did not know that, but thanks for the info. I’m not sure how accurate that is as yesterday I came against a team that was clearly in some sort of clan (same logo and tags, all using BR) and that was random, so it might be pure chance?
I live in the UK, and should be online every day. Not sure the times, it’s not a hardcore position, but rather if the team is online, we join up for CTF. It gives the game some direction (something it’s really lacking) I think and it would be better getting used to each others strengths and weaknesses with the same team, so you can build on that, instead of random every time.
Drop me a friend request and I’ll get back to you.
Sadly as I don’t have a mic someone else can fill my position, however, in my experience I’ve not lost many times as I’ve managed to gain more skill defending with the BR and Machine gun turret, if you look at my stats you can see. But I also think this belongs in the recruitment area if I’m not mistaking.

Possibly you were a random in a party of 3 or 4 that was going up against a 5-player clan? Anyways, I might be wrong, but I thought that I read that in one of the Halo Bulletins.

Seems likely. Most of the teams tend to be 3 - 4 players Randoms that can joib together too by not leaving the playlist and researching, and end up against bigger groups like full teams, making it weird. Although I was with the same team for about 3 - 4 games, in action sack cause they quit… and rejoined… It was weird.
