I think flag juggling is a cheap tactic and shoud not be in halo reach which is why I came up with a spolution eveytime you drop the in motion it rips the cloth slightly at first but with more obsseive juggling it could be destroyed entirly it would be known as flag damage the same thing would happen if it was shot at directly or with exposive damage .

As a side note if you have a clan you could put your emblem on the flag it would use a new emblem craftsystem in which you can use natal for emblems (not combat) to draw any design you want.

Flag running is a tactic, just like shooting body shots instead of head shots with a sniper so your teammates can clean them up easally

Becuase you need to open the can of worms if you want to go fishing.

Flag juggling is annoying because when people do it you here the voice saying the same thing over and over again.

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

Flag Running isn't cheap, can anyone explain to me how it is? It gives the enemy an advantage because they know where your flag is, exchanged for running slightly faster.

Sounds like a fair trade off to me.

It was not an intended 'tactic.' It is annoying, and should be removed.

Helping out the 7th column community with reasonable posts since '07.

If Bungie found a problem with it then it would've been removed since Halo 1. It's not intended no, but nether are air combos in fighting games, and you still see those? Having tactics in games make them unique, taking that away will just make Halo another shooter.

Who are you to say that it wasn't intended? It's been around since Halo CE, and has not been removed since then. I'd definitely say it was intended and that Bungie acknowledges it as a tactic and should stay in Halo Reach.

How about this then:

Players with the flag have 110% speed, but they have a waypoint over their heads at all times.

It never made sense to me as to why a flag runner would have less speed.

not to offend anyone, but the people who generally hate flag running are the people who cant use the br. What people tend to forget is that halo is a shooter and not not a noobfest of retard running around with for example hammers (grifball). Do you hear people complaining in other shooters, oh lets remove the medium ranged weapons because they are too hard to use or are too powerful. whats wrecking halo is all the dumb side games like rocket race and infection. go play mario kart if you like racing so much or those zombie games if you like infection. Halo has catered to both the competitive and non competitive community by creating both ranked and unranked playlists. the main problem comes with people forgetting that halo is a shooter, and like in almost every shooter the middle-ranged weapon is going to generally be the best but hardest to use weapon. Sorry for going off-topic and rambling on but i felt it needed to be said.

flag juggling is quicker yet the other team knows where u are just the regular carry is slower but the team doesn't know where u are therefore flag juggling is a different TACTIC

its infection and rocket race as well as slayer and flag that make halo different and overall better to other fps'.

i find nothing wrong with flag juggling but the voice repeating the same two phases for ages.

flag running is annoying...flog stolen..flag dropped..flag stolen..flag dropped...flag stolen...flag dropped

  • 11.15.2009 9:33 AM PDT

its not a cheap tactic, the only thing you need to fix is the announcer going flag taken/ dropped etc.

fix that, you fix the problem, because that is the only problem.

it has no huge advantages over just running with it, because it shows you where the flag is on your HUD, but it means you can shoot when needed.

i dont use it because i was playing doing that and someguy came with a shotgun whilst i had it dropped and killed me (had i had the flag i could have had a chance) and i got the loudest FAIL shout down the mic :)

Flag running is a good tactic. It's a trade off, you trade stealth for speed. I don't see the problem.

It's so cheap when the other team does it. I hate knowing exactly which route they're going so my team can cut them off and stop them. It takes 4.5 seconds off their run back to their flag, which is just way too cheap to counter. There definitely needs to be some consequences for dropping the flag.

On a more serious note, if flag running was so cheap (more like it was in H1-2 where you could throw it through windows, and launch it really far), your idea isn't that bad. As it stands, flags are impossible to return once they're out of the base more than a few yards. But I guess that's why you have to guard them well so the other team doesn't get them out.
