was make flags have an instant return time instead of having to CONSTANTLY sit there and wait 5 hours HOPING that you can defend it long enough to return it. It’s impossible to do though as you’re going to have all of the opposite team gunning for you all match for it.
Even if they greatly shortened down the time or even gave points for returning the flag successfully, that would be something.

What YOU should have done is taken this to one of the other 90000 threads.
This would be so annoying because in every single situation if the flag carrier dies then it’s returned to base and you have to start all over again
never mind
That sounds lame. I’d rather it take 30 seconds as it already does.
Ikr, I love locking down with 3 others as we return the flag to the base.
So I guess 343 should only do what YOU want?
While I have no issue with the extensive flag return time,
I can’t help but be concerned about the auto-pickup.
Especially considering that it can’t be dropped.
Should just use Halo CE’s CTF settings. Normal run speed with flag, can throw flag, touch-return, must have flag at base to score. The default CTF in H3 was trash.

Shut the hell up, kid. He gave reasons for why he thought 30 second returns were too long. More than I can say you’ve done.

Those are about flag-dropping.

Absolutely.

They are about capture the flag
> They are about capture the flag
They are about flag-dropping in CTF, yes.
I like the bunker down and defend your flag for returns.
It forces your team to work together rather than a random footstep resetting the flag all the way back.
> This would be so annoying because in every single situation if the flag carrier dies then it’s returned to base and you have to start all over again
Yeah, plus it’s funner to leave the flag sitting in the open where snipers can kill anyone who tries to take the flag. Plus like Cosmic said, it’s annoying if your team was working hard to get you and the flag from the other teams base to the other, which on some maps takes time, to have the flag teleport back to the base would be a slap in the face.

I understand though that it does suck when you’re so close to capture and it gets thwarted by some random guy on the other team who just touches it and gets it returned. So we don’t have to get rid of it entirely if people feel that strongly about it. But just shorten it down FFS.

Forcing the defending team to bunker down though takes away manpower from offense. CTF is a two-way battle. That’s part of what makes it so fun. Also, the match is timed so that just puts more unnecessary pressure on the defending team.
Sorry for the double post.

And with that, your credibility is dead.

You know, you shouldn’t attack or flame other users.

And you shouldn’t believe that 343 should cater to your every whim.

Why not?
touch return on BTB flag is one of the worst ideas ever.
