Doesn't common sense tell you that if bungie has confirmed that you can have up to 4 teams in Halo 2 you would have to have maps with 4 bases? Those would have to be some pretty large maps I would think. I wonder when we will be getting some dirt on these? So far none of the maps we have seen look like they have 4 bases.

The FAQ never said that there could be 4 simultaneous teams, just that there are more than 2 colors to chose from now. 4 team deathmatch is probably not a stretch though.

I believe 4 teams only applies to team slayer where flag runs and such are obsolete.

Probably. I read the team colours are red, blue, green and gold.

wouldn't it be fun and a little crazy to play 4 team CTF either single flagged or 4 flagged? I think it would be a riot.

It would be but if it happens it would be on very few of the maps.

We don't know how many maps they are making. Plus downloadable content if the choose to have it. They could have several maps set up for it.

Yes but every balanced map they make for 4 player CTF limits that maps playability in other modes. 2 base maps can easily be made interesting and fun for all of the other modes.

I don't think it limits the 2 team playability. What is the difference between playing 16 player 4 teams and 16 player 2 teams? You just have 2 extra bases sitting there. The room would still be used up.

You can play 4 teams simultaneously.

how would 4CTF work?

You have to grab an enemies flag and bring it back to your own base? Its stupid it would just be a race and theres no tension of a normal CTf. Im pretty sure its only in slayer and perhaps King

your right it might be a little to crazy. but I think it would be fun to try. Now 4 player king of the hill would rock!

You would end up with half of the map unused. Knowing players some newb would end up running around down in the derelict bases detracting from their team, where as if the entire map is used at least they can be a distraction.

lol 4 team king WOULD make a lot of sense. Maybe 4 CTF would be good but not with 4 flags that would be ridiculous. Can anyone think of how 4 team CTF would work?

4 bases and 4 flags. You attempt to take any of the other 3 flags back to your base for a cap. It would be crazy because you'd have (in a 16 player game) essentially a 12 on 4 situation when you're running through the middle with a flag. Even crazier would be Invasion...

Four team CTF: You capture the flag x number of times from each team. You could even be allies with another team for a while.

How about building on the king of the hill theme. Flag starts in central location. First team captures and takes back to their base. Next teams try to capture flag from that team and take back to there own base. Team that wins is team that holds flag for x number of times or x amount of time.
