Just wondering which map you think Capture the Flag plays best on?
Adrift. All the bad boys at that MLG tournament loved that map
Complex.
Complex and Ragnarok
I am a player who don’t like to whine about things, but I have to say that Ragnarok is the worst map for CTF, at least for pub matchmaking.
Don’t get me wrong, it is a fun map and CTF can be great if both teams are trying to cap and win. However, sadly that’s often not the case in pub matchmaking. For 8 out 10 CTF matches my friends and I played on this map, we had the similarly frustrating experience of trying to attack a team that are content to just sitting around their base using their favorite toys, be it Mantis, Banshee, Sniper Rifle, Ghost, Warthog, etc. This makes it very difficult to get to their flag.
To make things worse: CTF playlist has a max team size of 5. The map is too big for that. After you die, you have to do a lot of running to get to the front line. As a result, the enemy team always have a superior force (5 players) vs your team (significantly less than 5).
If Halo has something like the Tactical Insertion as in CoD so you can select where to respawn (not saying it should, but that would solve the problem above), it would be a different story…
All other CTF maps play great. However, every time Ragnarok comes up people vote for it. So much so that we are so tired of this map to the point that we avoid any playlists that have it (Big Team IS, CTF, KoTH)
