In Response To: Flag in Halo 4 *vid* (RC Master) First off, Loved the video. Obviously Ive been following and commenting along with your remastering objective series and we even had a bit of talk yesterday about objective reward system, Objectives are fun! I really like your ideas, as someone who plays ALOT ALOT of invasion and objective matches I know first hand how much ridiculousness there is in the gametypes of objective, and before I talk about that I will say, my friends and I have almost exclusively stopped playing Team Objective because of kill farming and super mega try hard teams who just extend the game as much as possible for kills, we are a damn good team but because we actually want to win we get exploited all the time. *CTF*
Now we do know that H4 OBJ will focus on 5v5 matchups (343 using Reach as a H4 playground without us even realizing it) so I think that 2 flag NOT home to score could work again, having 4 players being viable Spartans would help. 1-Flag: Quitters, ever single game, without question. Not to mention how unbelievably rampant quitting is in Reach in general, in OBJ its even worse. I 100% agree with you there should be "if Team A has secured the victory, dont give Team B another round" It just ends up being a 2 second round due to the whole team quitting, or all 4-5 of us chasing one guy around the board. Neutral-Flag: Balls to it, completely fine with this leaving, we dont need it. Speedflag: I get what they were trying to do here, and I dont hate it in particular, but the whole carrying the flag as your weapon is what Halo CTF is all about, so it gets a slanty face from me
Flag-Slayer: My opinion might surprise people here but I am not completely opposed to this gametype (SOMETIMES), if all the other team wants to do is kill, then it will be a frustrating match, but if you can manage to get a flag in there somewhere you can force them into playing the game. We have played many games were we said balls to it, went all out for the 3 caps and won the game with our K/D in shreds but a winning smile, there are also games where we have been incredibly evenly matched and although a lot of kills changed hands, that 1 flag cap made a difference. It does breed a very challenging type of strategy depending on who you are playing. I feel like it almost would be better off just scrapping it, but at the same time I completely understand what they were trying to accomplish there. CTF In General:
Force them to use the flag as a weapon (or drop it) I dont think people who complain about using the flag as a primary, if they weren't at a huge disadvantage the second someone gets 4 steps away from them, cause then its game over, they have to make that decision to either drop it and fight or try and melee, which becomes a loosing battle after X amount of distance is obtained *I am my own Devils Advocate on this however, I completely understand why this exists, you have to create a pack mentality, and guarding the flag carrier is essential, when he/she is slower you either have to get that Spartan in a Hog, or form up and take a bullet or 90, I would have to play a gametype in which the flag is at default a few times before I could form a solid opinion, but I completely understand your point and my counterpoint. I probably missed a few things but I love the video, love the discussion. It would be awesome if you did Invasion next, I have already dug a shallow grave for Invasion as I feel it will likely not be coming back (with the same name) but I truly hope with all my heart a similar gametype is created in 4 I love Invasion
