Easy fix to this annoying problem.

After you drop the flag, you move slow for another second. This would completely negate the benefit and I wouldn't need to send so much "unsporting conduct" feedback.

What do you think?

that a good idea, just like when you get hijacked and cant move for a couple seconds.

Maybe you should just stop sending the feedback, ever think of that genius?

There's nothing wrong with dropping and picking up the flag. It's a legitimate tactic. It allows you to move faster with the flag but at the cost of letting the other team know where you are at all times.

Just because you're not smart enough to utilize the trick doesn't mean it's a problem.

I didn't even think of that. That is dead on.

Clearly the game was not meant to be played like that. Sorry.

One could also make it so that you can't pick up the flag for two or three seconds after you drop it.

Because, if you are going to drop the flag, you are either:
1) Dead.
2) Stopping to fight off an opponent.
3) A clumsy fool.

In all of those cases, it would take more than a second or two to resolve the situation before you pick the flag up again, so it stops flag running without making people slow after they drop their flag.

Oh really? I wasn't aware you worked for Bungie.

It seems to me the game was meant to be played exactly like that. If you don't want the other team to know where you are, you move more slowly, if you don't care about giving away your position, you move faster... Sounds a little like the ability to crouch walk/run, doesn't it?

That could get frustrating. Trying to toss a flag up to a teammate can be tricky in some places. I also will drop the flag to pickup cretin power weapons.

He doesn't need to to express his viewpoints on an internet forum. Lay off.
