Re: "Halo 4" CTF Playdate 10PM EST TONIGHT

In Response To: Re: "Halo 4" CTF Playdate 10PM EST TONIGHT (Avateur)


: This gametype is not "how it usually is in matchmaking" and due to
: Speedflag, I was able to get that flag and get it out without any
: assistance (or with minimal assistance in other circumstances) and back to
: my base. Too easy to grab, too easy to get out, too easy to score. All way
: too fast, and all way too cheap. At that time, I thought it was only
: logical that it would be flag at home to score because of how simple it
: was, and that's why I was shocked when I was told that I could just score
: it at any time. That game and a few others were over in minutes. That's
: not fun in the least.

So you didn't read any of the descriptions of it... that seems kind of weird. Anyway, at least one of them ran out the clock, and several others had less than a minute left when they ended IIRC. I agree what they're planning for Halo 4 CTF is stupid but Speedflag is a pretty OK gametype.

: The indicator allowing you to track the person with the flag is still fairly
: ridiculous, especially on the larger maps, and it completely ruins the
: point of sneaking it in and sneaking it out. Sometimes the best team
: strategies are to have one person get in while the rest of the team
: distracts. Other brilliant strategies that seem to work all the time when
: we all go into Matchmaking is where one person gets in and gets the flag
: and somehow avoids being found for a while, so the entire enemy team
: thinks that the flag has escaped and they go looking. Sure enough, it was
: under their noses and still in their base the whole time, which gives the
: opportunity for escape instead of some mad stupid rush to try and get out
: and survive.

That's pretty good strategizing, but it's annoying being on the receiving end of it.

You cannot fall off the floor.
