CTF by far despite never touching the flag.

The thing about playing a gametype in Halo as it was intended to be played means the match is over in several minutes. Team slayer doesn't take more than a few minutes to hit the max limit and capturing the flag is so mindnumbingly easy in public servers. Finally, the default weapon set and spawning are superior in CTF.

Solution? Play CTF and ignore the flag. I know it annoys some players, but there's a good reason why practically everybody does it.

Oh, and I love Sideliner. :)

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Classic Slayer Pro has always been my gametype of choice.

CTF & Classic Slayer. Hands down. And yeah, I love CTF on Sideliner.

Trust you to post here, Vadam ;D

The L is on the other side of the keyboard too xD /notgettingpersonal, justfun

Anyway, I love CTF, but I hate it when people just play slayer on it, well, I only see that on Coldsnap in Custom Edition, which does annoy me, only on that map. On others it's fine, like bloodgulch, infinity etc.

Oddball and King of The Hill are two other favourites of mine, Slayer not really because it's just going around, shooting people, which I find gets boring after a while :S

What do you think of Halo: Reach?
I think it is B.O.R.I.N.G... and I agree with Honorable Heroic Member, "N7R" and I quote...

"You cannot compare Halo 3 to Reach, Reach is not a game, its a disc in a plastic green case called pure fail."

Unquote.

Classic Slayer, CTF, and Race.

CTF on Bloodgulch is my favorite. there just so many options for getting and returning the flag. Btcc22 likes to slay in CTF, pretty annoying because he is pretty accurate at max pistol range. He also shoots you out of a hog if you try to drive by. I try to run him over when I get the chance.

Other game types are Plasma Party with infinate stickies on Hang em high and rocket slayer on a Wizard or prisoner, which result in an intense, hysterical 5 minutes of pure chaos.

The problem is that public servers tend to be a push-over. As said, you'll end the game within several minutes unless you've got solid opposition, hence people end up slaying in CTF instead.

I'm all for playing CTF properly if the teams are balanced and can actually make it a challenge to return/grab the flag. :)

I enjoy any game type that isn't spammed full of banshees and tanks and isn't horribly modded. You know, the ones that have secret teleport locations that take you outside/on top of the map; leading you to a stockpile of sniper rifles, rocket launchers, FRGs, overshields, and tanks. Those modded servers are plain ridiculous. I don't mind servers with minor modding fit for a specific game mode ( Example: Bumper car servers - no weapons, Zombie mods - zombie team can't fire weapons and Human players auto switch after getting killed. ) But the servers that spawn craploads of power weapons, powerups, teleports and vehicles I find game-breaking and mind numbing.


I also don't like game types that focus on one particular weapon type, like snipers only or heavy weapons only. At least not those game types 24/7. I prefer the normal or classic weapons setup for a game. That way, I can run around toting a pistol and a flamethrower if I want. Or grab a sniper rifle or rocket launcher when the need arises.....


...Which is my main issue with HPC these days. I'm finding it harder and harder to find a normal game type. Modded have always been large in HPC (well, not always). But now, only a handful of servers have a normal weapon set that isn't no shields or filled with the max amount of every type of vehicle. This isn't Battlefield people. There aren't 32+ people in the server.
