No no no, you have the right to pick up ANY weapon you choose. If people tk you, or swear at you, just tell them to pi.ss off and ignore them. Those people are just bastards that really don't know how to play.

Except if you piss them off too much they ban you. I've been banned from games for no reason at all.

Heyyo,

Guys, that's why for lamers, you gotta slap them around a little, shoot them with your gun, make them think you're tking them, then get them to shoot at you, nade your feet, repeat a few times and they're banned from the server I can't stand a lamer that thinks everythign on the map is his.. some kids were never taught to share I guess. :p

indeed, i once was covering a guy as he took the flag and he got hit, si i took the flag and ran off with it, when i got to the flag he said......

sensored: ok give me the flag so i can score

pollopesca: ?

(then i scored the flag)

sensored: WTF THAT WAS MY FLAG!!!!

pollopesca: no you died there-for it becomes mine

sensored: i worked to get in the fuk|ng base, and got fuk|ng 2 kills!

pollopesca: well i worked to get the flag here and got 6 covering your noob @ss.

(then he got pissed and threw a nade but missed and killed 3 team mates including the server operator)
he dident like that so he kicked the guy, but he came back about 9 times untill he was banned. i'm sure this has happend to me more than once but most of the time i just ignor them.

Another such offense is people who throw plasma 'nades at Tanks and Banshees because they want them. In my experience that happens a lot more than weapon/flag stealing after you're dead. On the other hand, 'new players' TKing to steal the flag is way too common. Personally, instead of killing the flagrunner, I'm the kind of person who'll give the flagrunner my ghost or banshee if I see him running over Death Island. The favour has only ever been returned to me on 2 occasions though. I remember one time, BloodGulch, the flagrunner was a 'new player' who kept getting sniped coz he ran in a straight line. He got killed 3 times on the way back to base, every time he died I'd pick up the flag, dodge, give the flag back, only to see him get sniped again and again. Needless to say he was very thankful when he finally capped. I kinda like that sort of game though, even though he was a 'new player', he was trying his hardest to play by the rules.

um yeah. if you suck enough to get killed, you don't deserve the weapons back. even if you need them, just go out and get more

EDIT; now that i have time to write.....
anway, the people who think that way are egotistical sons of -blams-, and they should all be given a permaban from halo online. it's a TEAM effort for a reason. it doesn't fricken matter who scores. the fact is that only when eceryone works together, some as untold distractions, some as defenders, some as killers and some as flagrunners, can you get anything. sure, if you got one good person you can wil.. but who's taking that guy's bullets? who's preventing the other team from getting the flag?
i rest my case

Good point: Team wins, you win, even if you're 16th. Team loses, because you wanted to be 1st, you lose.

I'm the kind of guy who will do that also, although, normally its in the form of a 'hog pick up. As for people demanding flags for score, its ridiculous. Tell them to go play slayer.

Heyyo,

Yeah, the lack of ingame voice chat, and even more critical, the radio commands was a HUGE upset I say. It's not like it's hard to add in, sheesh, a couple commands that execute say_team *some text* and then execute a sound file... It's a standard, and Gearbox knew that, they just wanted to cut corners... All good FPS's have them: Half Life & Mods, RTCW, DOD, MOH, BF Series, U & UT Series.. thumbs down gearbox on promoting your idea of 'teamplay'... sheesh...

As for flag carriers? yeah, I always lend a vehicle, sometimes I get a ty after they cap. Lots of flag carriers are lam0rz who try to tk to get flag back. As for those who tk people in vehicles cause they want them? I always leap out, nade myself so they get a tk credit, tell other's he's a tk, he whines, and then if I'm lucky I get the vehicle back cause they type slow, and repeat. If you're gonna play like a lam0r, you're gonna get banned like a lam0r. ;)

well said,
i also wish they kept the speeking in the game without it, it becomes a free for all basicly were your teamates are nothing but a distraction for the enimys.
bla cant spell to day,
i try to help my team when ever one is neer, but i dont look at the final score untill the game is over, i rather not know wether i'm winning or lossing untill the game is done.

Stealing or TKing for weapons is ridiculous. I do my best to ignore it. When a TK'er shows up on my team, I am one of those guys who tries to stand in front of him, to help him get his three TKs as soon as possible so the game can go on without him.

As to giving the flag back to the original carrier so he can get the capture, some would consider that good sportsmanship. That's fine as far as it goes, but... Don't expect it, and players don't have to do it. Most times I've picked up a flag in the middle of the map and gotten back to base, no one is there. Also, you can't wait around holding the flag, the other team is going to show up eventually to get their flag back!

The one time I've had a flag stolen from me ended up being funny (to me, anyway). We were on Ice Fields, and I brought the flag back, but red had ours. I went up onto the top of the base in the back corner (this is a pretty good place to hide, remember to crouch), and told the team I was up there. Well, I'm waiting. And waiting. Then, one of my teammates comes up to me and melees me, grabs the flag, and jumps down to the platform. Of course red shows up, kills him, returns their flag, and they score. I asked the guy "wtf?", and his response was "I dunno". He didn't realize it was "flag at home"! I just laughed at him after I calmed down.

I do my best to give new guys a little leeway, and try to tell them what is going on. But when I realize it is an experienced player doing some of this crap, it burns me up.
