Echo Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 During the new Halo 4 Infinity Multiplayer Vidoc, they talk about the flag in a certain segment, saying you are "100% dedicated to scoring the flag at this point" (something along those lines). My friend pointed out that the way he spoke of the new flag details, it SOUNDS like they don't let you drop the flag after picking it up, making you think before you just act. Making the flag an important strategic priority. I, on the other hand, think they wouldn't add this to Halo 4. I feel like it's such a change to CTF that it almost seems risky to just expect players to like that. What do you guys think, have you seen any proof or know of anything about this? I hope you can drop the flag... that's kind of an odd step imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 That is correct, this was actually confirmed back at SDCC when they first showed CTF. Once you pick up the flag (which is automatic when you run over it) you can not drop the flag until you score it or die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they say what it did to the multiplayer that made them change it? I don't see the point in being forced to take the flag, especially when 2-3 people come up to you and you could easily drop the flag and shoot a rocket at them.

Now you have a pistol to defend yourself while you carry the flag. I dont know how this is going to play out until I actually play CTF though.

From the matches I played it actually felt a CTF objective game where as it used to just feel like slayer with a flag in it. It was much more team based, which is exactly what 343i is trying to do with all of the gametypes and Halo 4 in general. I prefer it, if you want to win, you grab the flag and hope your team helps you out. Its truly team based finally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people actually play the right way then I can see this being fun. But, this being halo, I can see people just running away without an escort or people ignoring the flag guy, or someone running in and getting the flag who actually had the rockets or something important lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I dont relly know what to think right now. It is kind of something that you will have to play and see. I like you am pretty shocked that this was implemented. It is not very halo like but could be for the better of competitive play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
