I just spawned into a game of CTF on BG on a server called "CBA ComeGetOwned". Nothing was happening at our base, a few green triangles in the distance, no gunfire going on. I jump in a hog. Someone else spawned in right after me. I waited to see if he'd jump in the gunner position– he didn't. I headed on down to the enemy base, encountering little resistance. I walk into their fort and take their flag. Before I get back into the hog the server admin bans me. WTF? Isn't it called CTF? Isn't that what I was doing? No one communicated with me to let me in on some grand strategy. And even if they were, if Your team mate gets the flag you can support him or stay in position to get the next flag. Even if I just get blown up, I'm distracting the enemy which takes their eyes off my team mates.
This has happened before. If the server administrator does not want people using hogs, don't put them in the map. I've played that way, too– and it's fun too. Am I committing some Halo sin that I'm not aware of, or is it just that some server admins hate to lose?
Maybe they were negotiating to exchange flags?
