Perhaps, all im saying is that i would like to see it balanced better in halo reach.
I concur. Too many levels of capture the flag have been ruined because the level is small and flag running has a much large effect on the game than perhaps on a larger map where they still aren't going to get across the map by themselves without defenders being able to catch up to them.
Perhaps its just a design flaw with the smaller capture the flag maps, but it doesn't really matter. Hopefully it will be better in Reach.
Are you trolling? You have to be. You do realize that flag running isn't something that people figured out in Halo 3 right? This is something that has been around for years and years and years. Bungie has had chances to fix the "exploit" and haven't. Its not like this is an underground phenomenon that has been kept secret from Bungie.
How have small maps been ruined by flag running? Good lord, you really have never played either of the previous Halo's, have you? Flag running is A LOT slower than it used to be.
What ruined flag in Halo on small maps are the massive return times implemented way too often and the "throw bodies at the flag until we get it back to our base because it never returns" strategy that resulted.
Balance is subjective anyways.
yeah, halo 2 was very bad when it came to flag running. i remember losing a lot of flag games on colossus when the other team would bounce it across the level. they fixed that with a patch. in halo 3 they made it so the flag didnt bounce multiple times when it was thrown, that was their attempt to balance it. but people still found a way to flag run, people will always look for that extra edge to help them win. everyone wants to win, its more fun than losing.
bungie has said they learned a lot from each game they make and they carry what they learned to their next game. balance is subjective yes, but we are not the balance masters, bungie is. this forum is about giving feedback and ideas, not about trying to find that fix to balance every problem/exploit. some people like the flag running tactic. i mean i dont like it but i use it. you kinda have too.
and no im not trolling, just passionate about what i think about the direction and future of halo: reach....and bored while i sit in my dorm studying for an upcoming exam.
