Does it really make you go faster? Has this been tested and are there videos documenting it with time difference and substantial evidence proving it's speed boost?

In my honest opinion it's more annoying to hear than it is effective.

"flag dropped" "flag taken" Repeat.. Repeat.. Repeat... all the way home. It's like the pig in the Geico commercial, just even more annoying.

It's ineffective and annoying. So you go a little bit faster, what's the point? That just gives away your position which pisses of your teammates.

But when youre playing good people you need to move it faster cause they will kill you

Lol, Signature.

I think it's annoying, not only that they reveal where your position is.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

this

lets put it this way,you sneak all the way into the enemy base grab the flag and start running back to your base,you have made it quite far while the enemies are searching for you,then suddenly a tryhard betrays you and starts flag juggling back to your base and has alerted the entire enemy team of your position and he is going a tiny bit faster than you but at the cost of the telling the enemy where he is

Smart players are going to know where the flag's going so it just makes sense to juggle it.

flag juggling improves your speed by alot. Who cares if it reveals your teamates. if your good with the weapon you have you can juggle the flag and drop it when a enemy comes by and kill them. THe other thing about flag juggling it alerts your teammats too. so your teamates know where the flag carrier is.


but there already is a little sign above the flag carrier telling his teamates where he is therefore there is no point to flag juggling except for the constant and annoying "flag taken,flag dropped"

lol no

flag juggling gives out your position to the enemy tank camping right outside your base waiting for you

if you didn`t flag juggle you wouldn`t be spotted

Seems to me flag jugging has the same risk as juggling chainsaws in real life. Would you juggle a chainsaw?

  • 08.17.2010 10:18 AM PDT

you wanna go fast? just jump in on a mongoose or warthog sideseat, otherwise people should just run and let their teammates keep their sanity

Depends. Could I saw "Chainsaw taken" and "chainsaw dropped".

i guess if you're playing social big team against captains and guests that would be a good strategy. but when you're playing against people who don't suck, you should almost always juggle the flag.

There are no risks in flag juggling. When you play good people they will know where youre going anyways so you might as well move it fast so they have a harder time catching you.

  • 08.17.2010 10:23 AM PDT

Is it wrong of me? To take what's mine? Until the end of time?

WHo cares Bungie took it out of Reach. Now when you drop the flag you move at the same speed as if you had fo rlike 2 seconds which means you dont gain any speed and it would just give away your position for nothing which I think was a good move on bungies part. Also I liked when the other team did it because they still werent too fast ad I always knew exactly where they were and killed the more than not but it was still annoying

"flag dropped", "flag Taken", "flag dropped", "flag taken", "flag Dropped" We got the point after the 12th time.

And we have two people with brain cells :)

It makes you go a little faster, and you get used to it after a while. I used to think it was annoying, but now I do it every flag game.

  • 08.17.2010 10:27 AM PDT

Hmmm... maybe I will try it.
