Live an ethical life and come face-to-face with the fundamentally flawed nature of human beings and look on the gap between high ideal and low achievement with wry amusement, only then will you have fun playing Halo 3, even against Generals who hump your corpse and beat you with a 30 point deficit.

I just watched two pro games off the MLG site, low and behold not much flag juggling going on..

I'd like a professionals feedback, or some one who is training to be a pro by a pro. Either will suffice.

Very true, must feel like -blam!- throwing a flag off the side of rockets.

And we have two people with brain cells :)


It's not that I or anyone doesn't have brain cells, it's that I am not fully equipped with Halo 3 knowledge to really know it's more effective.

I know the basics. I know how to move my reticule on some ones head or body to do lethal or brutal damage. I know how to get a flag from an enemies base and also ensure my teammates are there to guard me. If possible.

I have a underlying feeling a flag juggle is not effective and usually a downfall more than a benefit. My logic, if PROs don't do it, then how or why is it going to make you win.

This is why I need a pro to jump in or a Bungie member to say, we agree or don't agree, otherwise it's just an excuse for people to jump in this thread and try to prove their internet muscles.

Hi i'm a pro gamer. I don't compete in MLG, but I do compete at ECL, the Euro version. Much smaller.

Flag Juggling is very effective. I can't imagine we would win very easily without it.

I'm 100% you'll beat me in a flag juggle race if I am not juggling, case in point, in a LIVE game, with bullets whizzing, grenades exploding, teammates getting in your way and enemies all across the board flanking you and hunting you, is it really more efficient?

It's faster so yes it is more efficient.

Thnx for the awesome sig Smyf!

and now it is my duty to completely drain you

The announcer is annoying, but a good juggle will allow you to run about 20% faster than holding the flag.

I enjoy his antics.

I love the flag dropped, flag taken. I juggled in Reach :/

I have a video on my file share showcasing a beautiful CTF capture without one ounce of flag juggling. Granted we had vehicles, it was marvelous.

People have, many times flag juggled in this map without a vehicle... This time it was without.

Oh so you're done ranting about how I'm "terrible" at Halo 3, and how my words are god. Just so you know, I never fought back. I acted pretty mature. So. Who's the kid trying to impress their Mom now?

"It is not a goal, but a process. The process of creating the perfect world."

Does it makes you faster? Yes, but it also reveals you, so whether you do it or not depends on the situation. If the enemy knows where you are already, or has good idea, juggle by all means, you need the speed.

However, if you ninja'd the flag away, and foe has no clue where you are, perhaps it's best to not juggle until the home stretch. I had a CTF game on Avalanche where everyone was charging center over and over. I captured the flag twice by going all round the perimeter using the teleporters and man cannons, and I didn't juggle. Sure it was slower, but it safer too.

It all depends on the situation, and whether speed or stealth matters.

It's annoying when you're losing and it's the enemy team who's doing it.

On the other hand, it can be just as annoying when a teammate does it, but it does help you locate them if you didn't know where they were so you can go and defend them should it be necessary.

We have to seeing as how MLG doesn't use vehicles. To us it's easier and more efficient for us. I'll show you how to effectivelly if you want me to.

no way dude flag juggling is the best it will get you to where you want to go way faster than just walking..if you talk to any mlg pro they will tell you that flag juggling is the best way to go
