Why do CTF games end up in a tie so often?

Im talking like a 0-0 tie lol. Ive had a good amount of them and its kinda crazy also kinda funny at the same time. I don’t remember seeing any ties in CTF in other halos.

Because 343i has “NOT” turned on the OVERTIME settings in the CTF mode. I have my Custom Game CTF mode settings setup for OVERTIME for 5 mins. in the event of a tie!

Peace! :fist_right: :fist_left:

Iv’e had ties in mcc before, same as any match like football for example. If you get a lot, may your just getting balanced teams, it happens

Because you get the players who won’t play objective

That is quite strange.
Usually my CTF games end in 3-0 or 3-1 because I OBSESS over the objective.
I guess while my three teammates are kill-focused, I am flag focused because it is NOT SLAYER and thus I score most or even 100% of our flag captures.

Mine were usually one-sided landslides too. Its been a few weeks since I played tho.

Some of the maps aren’t made for CTF, and act as funnels making movement really hard. Couple that with super weapon placement can make it worse.

But yeah, most cases the teams are very balanced.

Im thinking at least in BTB most people don’t seem to realize they’re playing capture the flag and treat every game like slayer so nobody except like 2/12 people are actually looking for a flag and the rest are driving warthogs off cliffs. That seems to be my experience at least in BtB. I see less ties in 4v4.

This. 1000x this. The number of people playing every game type like it’s slayer makes me want to rip my hair out.
