Nah, it's not my favorite weapon, but I am the designated Tank Whore of the clan LOL. I'm usually only in it on Blood Gulch where I can take down the shee(s) above the enemy base. Otherwise I'm usually in a ghost making a drive through flag grab and be out of their base before they even realize the flag is gone. What is really fun is the noob cannon jump flag grab on Blood Gulch where you use the noob cannon to jump out of the enemy base onto the roof and grab the flag on the way up...you are then standing a couple of steps from the portal and you are through the portal and halfway from your base and the enemy is still waiting for you to come out the front or rear door of their base lol.


One of my favorite mods was my first, where I installed invisible warps on the Blood Gulch back doors. Iff someone walked through, they'd spawn a mile above the map and plummet to their death. I also installed warps at the back of the map that would teleport you from one side to another, giving each player yet another option to use when getting across the maps. Those who joined without knowing the rules had no idea how we were getting to the base so quickly! :-)

3) CTF has three main positions: the Flag Runner, the Flag Guard, and the Scout. When you enter a CTF game, decide on your niche from the get-go and use it to help your team. No match needs everyone on the team running after the flag on their own. Particularly on maps the size of Coagulation, this will typically lead to an endless (not to mention boring) cycle of dash and death. Keep in mind that what I'm about to list below is in no way required to play the game, but makes it a far more enjoyable experience for everyone.

I alwyas have that problem. There's no defense. All offense. My reccomendation for multi-flag CTF games wth teams of 6+:
At least two people guarding your flag
____________

One or more person(s) DEFENDING each flag stealer.

Exactly. CTF if a team effort and should be treated as such.

Another addition would be (at least on Halo 1) is for the noobs to understand not to take the best defensive weapon (the Scorpion) out of base and drive it to the enemy base. Not only do you weaken your own defense, but it just made it a LOT harder to get into the enemy base to snag the flag.

If you have a sniper and precise aiming, its very easy to kill the driver. There are lots of empty spaces on the latch that covers the driver. Two or less shots and hes gone wiht a sniper.

This is also true. I noticed they left this feature out of Halo 2.

In addition, here's a short little video on exactly not to do when playing on Windows Live.

Also known as trash talking. I find it very annoying. Just like everybody should.

While I hear there are work arounds for the campaign, you need Vista to play on Windows Live.

Check out the prices HERE at Newegg since they tend to be a lot more reasonable than what you may find in local retail stores.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Wow. If more people were like Tyrant the game(s) would be a better place.

The video he posted about trashtalking. It isn't saying that you should trashtalk, its making fun of people who do.
