seems odd?
Not sure why it was removed, honestly. Perhaps for balancing issues?
Does seem odd though.
I noticed this too, a bit stupid to be honest.
I assume because you can thruster away, and shoot with a pistol now. There needed to be some balance for that.

I mean, it worked in other games.
I think it was on The Sprint where they said they did it because it created awkward stalemates where if the flag carrier was cornered the other player would be hesitant to rush in.
Yet another thing they changed that’s been around since CE. There was literally no good reason to take away 1-hit melee kills with the flag.
fair enough, i’m not too fussed it’s gone, i just found it odd when i went for a quick double kill on the guys chasing me and found myself getting destroyed instead lol

It wasn’t a one hit kill in CE.
You do have a gun and you can drop the flag. So it is more balanced that the flag isn’t a one hit kill.

Incorrect. get your facts straight.
It was not one-hit-kill in CE. In fact, this CTF plays a lot like it did in CE (without the magnum and flag juggling, obviously … sort of a mix of CE, H3, and H4 CTF). You can’t even score until your flag is returned to your base.
They actually went back to the roots on aspects of this one, and you guys are talking out your -Yoinks!-
Maybe Gun+Thruster+Flag Juggle, and you want to add one hit kill?
I’m guessing it’s a balancing issue because you have a more powerful magnum along with spartan abilities and you can drop the flag and shoot normally so again I think it’s a balancing issue but not 100 percent sure.
Bring that back
With the ability to use a pistol and flag drop, one hit melee kill with the flag is completely unbalanced. The main reason flag was a one hit kill in other games was because you could not defend yourself if you were holding the flag. Obviously you always had the option of dropping the flag and getting out a gun, but never the ability to use a pistol while holding the flag. I am perfectly fine with no one hit melee kill.
It definitely threw me off a few times! It has gotten me killed a lot as well, but I’m adjusting! Not sure how I feel about it though.

stupid… uh don’t rush him just shoot him… just like every other halo…wtf?
and id be fine without the pistol honestly… not being able to defend yourself was part of having the damn flag in the first place… the one hit just made you smile so much more…something like…“HAHAHAAA MF…FK U”…“FLAG SMACK BCH”
I was surprised when I punched 2 guys with the flag turned around and got mauled because they were still alive, but saying that, it does make the job of the flag carrier harder and you can thrust around so it balances it out.
