Lol, it's extremely effective on small maps or when the enemy is all dead. Most people without an "Objective" mindset don't realize that you need to kill a few enemies before you do a flag run. They just grab the flag and run silently out. Now I admit, sometimes this does work because it causes confusion, but most of the times, it doesn't.

Just because it's annoying to listen to doesn't mean that it isn't effective. By the way, flag running allows the flag carrier to run almost as fast as a normal player in the match, so if your team just spawned, you have a very low chance of catching up to them. The best you can do is try to pull a counter-cap on them.

Flag Juggling is bad on Narrows CTF...

...ask Shockwave!

o burn



And not always necessary on narrows either. Simply run it through OS, hopefully the OS will be there, man cannon over, head back through your OS, and you're back easy as. On the other hand, if the opposition knows you're going that way all the time, switching tactics and running, not juggling, through rockets can be an effective surprise tactic.

Get a warthog and 3 people. One drives, one gets the flag and one guns, simples. Unless your in a no vehicles game. On Valhalla just shoot it over on the Man Cannon and have someone waiting to catch it, kill the guys at the base then go and help the person who caught the flag.

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.

(im not trying to advertise my shares, just trying to give examples)


That reminds me of my best ever capture. Big Team Multi CTF on Avalanche, all my teammates and all the enemy team were trying to go through the middle (shotgun) way. I did my usual: teleport, man cannon to mid, then teleport to their base, grab flag, teleport, man cannon, teleport, and capture.....all without an ounce of flag juggling. It almost worked second time too, were it not for an enemy with rockets. Still, they didn't learn, and I took the same route each time, never juggling the flag, and although i died the last 2 times (including at the flag drop off point the final time to an enemy who'd just stolen our flag), I was fortunate that a teammate was on hand both times to score the cap, in what was an easy 3-0 win!

Sand Trap and maybe Avalanche are the only maps where capping with a warthog is actually a good idea.

d[(••)]T Keepin it clean...

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.

AoD you don't need to show me how to effectively do anything... especially flag juggling (no offense). I simply will not do it and continue to have my teammates support me through a flag run. It's won many games and also is generally fun. I am a simple guy, I don't wanna do extra buttons while I am holding a flag. I'd rather scout around with the flag to be my teammates eyes and ears/distraction to get the flag as far away from there base without them knowing.

Flag Juggling is necessary for pretty much any MLG game. If you don't juggle, you suck and are going to lose and piss your teammates off for not knowing what you're doing. You NEED that extra speed or else you die, simple as that. Juggling gets you from point A to point B the fastest.

I'm sorry America is busy helping others in the world and actually making a difference.

Something Canada will never do.

mhmm too right

I like flag juggling.
But i only do it when im like half way back to the base, or when i know the other team is spawning really far away.
So i can get the flag back to the base ASAP.

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
What about MLG CTF on The Pit?

  • 08.17.2010 11:22 AM PDT

*Blah blah blah....REACH*

I played Big team earlier with my friends.

4-5 people all ran, picked up the flag and died.

I run, pick it up "juggle" it and bring it back across 2/3 of the map and score.

please tell me how going slow helps?

Juggling is better most of, if not all of, the time.

Flag juggling on maps with no vehicles is the way to go if you're serious about winning the game. If you have fun trying to sneak the flag back without juggling that's your call. But, against a good team once they hear "flag taking!" they will be on you instantly. That's why pushing the flag out as fast as possible is the goal, and flag juggling allows you to do this.

  • 08.17.2010 12:47 PM PDT

Friendly until Fired upon

You can test it... run the flag from say the pit from one base to another and take the same route but juggling it. It really doesn't bother me either way.

  • 08.17.2010 12:49 PM PDT

"Flag taken."

"Flag dropped."

"Flag taken."

"Flag dropped."

"Flag taken."

"Flag dropped."

"Flag taken."

"Flag dropped."

"Flag taken."

"Flag dropped."

"Flag taken."

"Red Team Scores."


Annoying.

it makes you go faster a little BUT, "FLAG DROPPED! FLAG STOLEN! FLAG DROPPED! FLAG STOLEN! FLAG DROPPED! FLAG STOLEN! going on and on and on gets annoying...

All it took was a stew of whoopass.

It may be effective, its annoying.

  • 08.17.2010 1:29 PM PDT

It pisses me off when kids dont run the flag.

You will go a lot faster if you know to to flag juggle.

And not to mention if your playing MLG, even if you try to just walk with it, smart players will realize where your at.

And you want to score as quick as possible, so flag running is a must.

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.


And that's why you're a Staff Captain =]
