This whole bit with the flag magicly returning to base is sort of stupid. I say have the defenders carry it back. That way the assaulting team has a chance of getting it before it returns. I heard that the flag now stay were it's drop for a few second. Ok so that a little bit better then the defenders team touching it and returning it instantly to base. Now the defenders have to stay with the flag for a few second and defend it. But it would be more realistic for them having to carry it back. what do you ppl think?

i don't think it is good... because then the defenders could take the flag, and maybe say glitch with the ghost on top of blood gulch... there goes the game... or they could take the flag, and hide, and then you couldn't find it, there goes the fun....

actually there is a setting in halo one where you can make it so the the defenders cant return the flag it just sits there for abou fifteen seconds or till it is picked up by the offense again

Elezul has a point one of the defenders could take the flag to a hard to get to spot and then the game would be over also the defender could take it to a spot thats difficult to get to and then killl himself so that the other team doesnt know where it is.

Sounds like a good idea, but there are people who disagree. If Bungie puts it in, it should be optional, like assault CTF and reg. CTF.

Oh, and that setting markham pointed out makes you wait for the flag to magically respawn itself.

I heard that when your near the flag a marker appears on your hud. So they can't exactly hide it because you would just have to past by it and a marker say there the flag.
