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

They already know your going from Point A to Point B so I juggle to get there faster hurrrr durrr.

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.


This ^^

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.

Finally someone who realizes Flag Juggling is a great and useful tactic.

I hope I match up against either of you in a flag game. :p

Ofcourse it makes you go faster...and also,for all you whining about it giving your position away,on maps such as The Pit,theres only about 5 ways to take the flag:Runway(Overshield Spawn),sword room,training(Plasma Pistol spawn),green box(Camo spawn) and the most typical and fast way,longhall(rocket spawn). Typically,a players first reflex is to look towards the needles spawn rather then the snipe spawn. But my point is it takes under 15 seconds to juggle it through long hall and to capture it rather then holding it the whole way. I may make a vid on it tomorrow.

Nothing to kill, anything to survive.

Think of it like this: For higher skilled players, at least ONE of the opposing team members will see someone with the flag. They will call it out. boom. Entire enemy team knows where you are, even though you weren't juggling. If you know how to juggle correctly, it can increase your speed to about 10-15%, and there are certain routes you can only take IF you flag juggle. (for instance, Top Plat to Greenbox on The Pit, can be done juggling. However, it can't be done without juggling.) So either way, the enemy will know where you are. So it only makes sense to go faster. For lower skilled players, flag juggling is not recommended.

This forum sucks.

Annoying, but useful.

It's much faster, and not including squad battle is 99% of the time the best way to run the flag. On host if you're good it's probably 1,5 times faster. Pretty significant. Holding onto the flag works like 1/10 times and when it doesnt you're left with the flag in a bad spot on the map, like when people run the flag through sword on pit. People do it cos they dont wanna die and don't realise its better to just take a death and get it to your side ASAP. Here's proof it's faster than you:

(this might not be allowed I can't remember, if not just search pit flag run on yt)

Butthurt? Good....go fist a goat.

Anyone who doesn't think flag juggling is effective is just bad or stupid.

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.

I take it back, just watched a BTH vs Status Quo match on amplified.

I had to watch twenty games on MLG to finally see one game where constant flag juggling was being utilized.

Case in point, it's really annoying even if it is effective!

I've seen my family fade away, You've taken my whole life left me nothing to say. Sitting in silence with heaven above me i prayed every night by their graves.

I stand before you Ive seen what I've had to but now i leave your sight to avenge my family, I've taken my whole life there's nothing left to say.

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

Wow, Bnet is full of colonels. Juggling the flag makes it MUCH Faster if you're not an idiot and know how to do it correctly. Good players know where to take the flag so them knowing where the flag is, it's just inevitable. It's not annoying, get over it.

Sierra 173 - The Siegebreaker

I'll fully agree that flag juggling is pretty damn annoying, but it does let you move the flag across great distances at a much faster speed. It works, but you have to know when to do it or not.

If you're surrounded, it might be better to try to turtle it back to the base because dropping the flag would alert the opponents to your position. But if you have a group of good team mates protecting you or holding off the enemy team, it is much faster to juggle it back to base.

It isn't a practice I think highly of, but it gets the job done and Bungie hasn't done anything about it. So it's here to stay.

Actually when you hold the flag the tag system kinda fails and wont tell your teammate were you are.

Play high level in mlg. I only say mlg because we dont have a ranked objective playlist.

Try to walk that flag you will get maybe 3 feet out of their base before you die.

When you juggle the flag you get about half way there by yourself now with your team you are going to get to your side no problem.

Its annoying but it makes the game go faster and it actually helps to get the other team off your spawn if your getting owned.

Its just strategy

Hey.

I support flag juggling.

I'm surprised most of you haven't learned to tune it out yet.

Sorry I can't get on your level, I don't have a shovel.

Hearing "flag stolen," "flag dropped" on and on doesn't really bother me to be honest. I can completely ignore it. Now, if it was an 8 year old's voice saying that, that's a completely different story.

You guys care too much.

I will continue to flag juggle in Reach, just to make kids rage

Add me if you're a serious MLG player.

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.

This.
