*sigh* triple teamed I believe?
and about the team game, I actually said, if its in a match, where its actually important, then yeah, u want whoever can to score.
But as I also said, in publics, it just doesnt happen, maybe u like to kid urself that u saying "2 go in a hog, me and you go cover the top, and get some ghosts ready at their base" in team talk, is somehow gonna make people do what you say..When it just isnt.
As for the flamewar, I dont want one, I just dont appreciate being patronised, especially by someone who didnt know a simple "trick" (I use trick loosely, because its common knowledge...), as for your more patronising post simon, how the hell long does it take u to scan for an asterisk? it takes a couple of tenths of a second for the board to appear when u press f1, another couple of tenths of a second for you (you used loosely aswell...) to find and asterisk and read the name (assuming one can read), and as soon as u let go of f1 ure in control, regardless of whether the boards fully off ur screen, so, in answer to ur rather lengthy "retort", yes, I am expecting you to press f1 and check whos got the flag whilst ur being attacked, given that it takes about half a second. I dont want to see anyone trying to tell me "oh but half a seconds all it takes for you to be splattered all over the wall" like its some sort of john woo movie, when it blatantly isnt, and when halo is blatantly slower than most of the other fps out there. That doesnt make it the least interesting, not by a long way, but it does mean that ur somewhat safe...oh and, if you wait a second after it says "red team has the flag" then press f1, its still gonna be the same person, because quite frankly, ive never seen people playing flagtag in a public, whilst both attempting to get out with the flag...
Im not trying to flame, im just pointing out, that it isnt very hard to do a lot of things at once, least of all pressing a key on ur keyboard, which ur most likely near if u use wasd instead of the arrows...even then it isnt hard, because i use the arrows, and i can still do it.
Just keep on fooling urselves that the minimal glory u get returning a flag for a bunch of people you dont know is enough to secure ure place in the halo hall of fame *rollseyes*
