Today I was trying to get the ctf challenge and instead couldn’t be bothered because nobody seemed to be interested in getting the enemy flag. In one game I got the flag half way so I got on a mongoose and beeped at the 2 nearest players to get on and score the point, be neither was interested so I tried alone and failed horribily. The next game I got the flag and a teammate came up to me in a ghost, I asumed he would get out and get in the warthog or mongoose nearby and take me along to our base so we could score the point, but instead he went off and I got killed by 2 members of the enemy team.
I have more stories but I won’t bore you with them.
If something simuler has happened to you on CTF share you stories here
I used to love playing ctf in halo 2 so I decided to play the other day, and I had the same exact experience. I told myself I got stuck with a team of bums and tried again, same result. I tried a third time and yet, the same thing. I don’t understand why people would go into a TEAMWORK based playlist, and just sit there and kill people.
I started playing team regicide and all I have to say is…WOW! Now that’s a fun game type!

Use a mic in CTF - it always motivates the others on the team to use more teamwork.
Look people stop posting these things like they are going to change how people play! People play the way they want oK! how does that make no sense to you?
Because people dont want to ruin their k/d ratio. That is why they should remove K/D ratio from objective games, so kids actually go and do the objectives instead of camping.

The only reason people get mute banned is because they use their mics for disruptive purposes, and people report them or mute them a lot. Thank goodness for mute bans!
Team Regicide is starting to become the team work goto. I guess they should just attach the flag to a random player and let his team defend him, who ever kills him gets the flag. Giving people the option to not pick up the flag in the enemy base seems a failed concept with randoms of late on how to win a game of CTF.
i would disagree to some extent that there is no team work. you have your flag to defend and on the other hand you need to capture enemy flag… if there is no communication then its obvious that players split to either defend or attack. i have no mic (and worse i have to mute my TV as my wife doesn’t like the sound of gun firing ) and all i do is check how many are leaving for enemy flag and is there anyone trying to defend it. if there is no one behind then ill try and stay close defending it. If i see no enemy is approaching for quite some time then ill go join my team for capture…
id say that i had a very good game today. got sniper and did running riot of which 8 flag carrier kills and supported 2 captures by killing guys who came close to my team mates trying to get the flag.
Dont conclude so fast… off course i do agree at times that there are players who join this playlist with out meeting the actual purpose. i too had a game with this issue.
also these challenges have made people to just complete than compete in the game.

I don’t want 343 to change this, this is for people to talk about their experiances and discuss CTF with out any people cmplaing just talking about the game
Decreasing use of mic’s makes a massive difference. If even one guy has one and is calling to his teammates to do something it generally creates some coordination.
Halo Players are boosting their K/D ratio in flag. That is why they dont care about capturing the flag.
To Me, just going into CTF and killing the enemy team that is trying to get the flag is not right. These people are just killing kids that arnt even trying to shoot back when all they want is to capture the flag.
When you look at some of the guys on halo tracker that have 15k-30k kills already, they have been going into flag games with a team of 5 and just killing kids. They hold the flag, make kids come to them and just kill em.
This shows absolutely no skill at all when the other team cares about the flag, not killing you back so much.
The best analogy i can think of is people that just played firefight in halo reach to reach inheritor status when in reality they could have been not wasting their time in firefight and could have played another playlist.
These boosters care about a pointless k/d ratio that means nothing when I know that they farmed killed in CTF.
I was playing with other players yesterday that were doing this on my team and I will never play with them again in CTF.
The funny thing is that some of these boosters try to defend themselves by saying they hate boosters when they are boosting their k/d. The good news is that their boosted k/d stats mean nothing on halo tracker under slayer because all they do is get a good k/d under objective games.
We need a new system that keeps people to the objective, not farming kills to boost their k/d ration.

Seems the people with huge K/D ratios like these kind of games. They can pick off easy enemies that are going for the objective and just watch their K/D grow.

What about those people that just mute players in the pre-game lobby because they hear others having a conversation, or just feel like being anti-social. They do nothing disruptive. Thank goodness for mute bans right? lol, like I said mute bans are just another thing that negates anyone having a mic = teamwork.

) and all i do is check how many are leaving for enemy flag and is there anyone trying to defend it. if there is no one behind then ill try and stay close defending it. If i see no enemy is approaching for quite some time then ill go join my team for capture…
