What are your favorite strategies/stories that are now impossible in Infinity CTF?

Here’s one of mine, and this actually happened in a game of Halo 3 on Avalanche:

I sneaked into the base and capture the flag and immediately took the teleporter away from the base. I then jumped down the cliff and made my way across the snow. As I was doing this I noticed an enemy Warthog coming my way. In the heat of the moment I dropped the flag and pulled out my rockets and blew the Warthog to high heaven. I turned around to grab the flag again only to find two teammates who drove up on a Mongoose, one guy jumped off and grabbed the flag and they drove off together. I looked around and saw an enemy Mongoose in pursuit of my teammates who now possessed the flag, without a second thought I sent a rocket into the side of the Mongoose for another double kill as my teammates captured the flag and ended the round with a victory.

All of that is impossible now :frowning:

  1. Flag launching off fusion coils
  2. Flag launching off man cannons
  3. Throwing the flag on midship/heretic
  4. Choosing whether to take the sneaky approach or just run the flag at the cost of giving away my position
  5. Dropping the flag to fight off enemies and then continuing to run the flag

And many many more.

The “Make the enemy team think everyone is at one side, while 1 of them is actually going to the back door” Strategy may work on the first part. But the 2nd part will need to be altered.

I guess it can still work, but I’ll need a ride home. :stuck_out_tongue:

Don’t expect for this to happen in Halo 4. :frowning:

Wow. Pretty sweet video. Excellent teamwork to help out his teammate with the BR shots and quite a bit of luck in the midair bounce :slight_smile:

I remember when i used to throw the flag through the little side windows on beaver creek in H2.

Not once in that video was he required to drop the flag.
He could of had the flagnum and killed the first dude, and you can still hold the flag while going up Man Cannons.

Easily achievable in Halo 4.

I love adjusting my tactics to fit the current situation.

I will still be able to do that.

Come on man, you already have one big thread about how bad you think CTF is, why don’t you stick with that one.

More visibility. If people want this thread to die they won’t post in it and it will make it’s way out of here. I won’t uselessly bump this thread if it dies. I was just looking for a more focused discussion on people’s fond memories of Halo CTF :slight_smile:

Jetflagging.
Flagbaiting.

Unless they patch flag-dropping in, competitive CTF is dead. SO much tactical depth to the gametype was removed.

Throwing the flag in the man cannon to a waiting team mate so I can steal weapons or vehicles from the other team’s poorly defended (or undefended) base.
