If there are going to be more than two teams in halo2 (red,blue,green,purple,and gold) how is ctf suposed to work and will it be even? couldnt teams team up all on one team or will they be assigned certian teams to capture their flags. well i guess that we will not find out untill we play. :D

In Unreal Tournament they have moe then one teams sometimes. Right now there is confirmation that Halo 2 will have that and I doubt it will have more then two teams. But you never know...

it might if you have read the last bungie update. why do you think there is multiple color mister chiefs. well thats my thoughts though ctf has always been a 2 team game. kind of point less to have (if there is 16 players max) 4 player teams.

I personally think it would be a whole lot funner with more than two teams. It would add to the drama of MP. Just think one team is killing another off one after another so the other team partners up to down the other team. If that wouldn't cause an uproar I don't know what would! It be great!

Multiple teams are currently confirmed for Slayer only. Sorry.

i think that CTF games in H2 will only be 2 teams...but I have an idea for bungie if they aren't.
Lets say there are 4 teams, and they all have thier own base. Ok there could be 2 ways to win this: 1-capture every other teams flag at least once to win OR...2-Have each flag capture be a certain amount of points, but capturing just one team's flag more than once will result in less points per capture (example: RED team captures BLUE team's flag once and gets 5 points. RED team then captures it again, but only recieves 4 point this time. This point decline could go down to 1 point and as a team needs say...30 points to win a match, they will need to capture one of the other two team's flags in order to win the fastest).

I think this is a great idea (the second way) and I hereby grant Bungie and Microsoft usage of my idea. lol

Bungie says that Halo 2 will "change the way people play online forever", but I don't think that adding a few more teams is their meaning

Look for "big" things to emerge for the online part of Halo 2; it's probably either something we never thought of before, or something we thought couldn't be done; I like the second one. More than 16 players is key

Now, that sounds like a revolution, and a revolution is just what we need. And then there's getting that cookie that Prometheus wanted. But honestly, 4 team CTF would be insane, all the teams could gang up on one team and make things unfair.

Teams couldnt gang up on one team if the game was like mine cuz everyone would only be getting 1 point for each flag capture og the other's team. AHHH heck it will never happen so I might as well put that idea in my "ideas for games that i would like to make oneday" box. lol

but where would the other two bases be besides the red and blue?

Maybe on top of a hill and below the ground. I have no idea. We'll leave that to the experts in Bungie.

did it occur to anyone that having 4 teams COULD mean that for a specific amount of time you could only chase one teams flag? EX: 4 teams, red, blue, green, and gold, NOT purple are all playing CTF. lets say for 2 minutes that the red has to go for the green flag, and green goes for red, while blue goes for gold and gold goes for blue. then after that 2 minutes blue goes for red and vise versa, and green goes for gold and vice versa. 4 teams of CTF is fairly simple.......some just dont think outside the box.

or you could make it like a circle where the team on your left is your target and the team on the right is who you defend against, the person across from you counts as an ally,cause they're at war with the same ppl you are, then either a team wins by points, or a team loses when there flag is captured a set number of times(when a team captures your flag you lose points instead of them gaining points) when a team loses there base is left as empty and the shape of atacks is like a triangle(kinda)you no longer have an ally and rules for enemies reverse(just to change it up), anotherwordsright the team to your left changes from your target to the one you defend against and the right becomes your new target

when another team is knocked out its a standard ctf only its not for how many points you have its for how many you lose

this is only an availeble set up for teams of at least 3 people, cause a 2 person team cant deal with that kinda carnage
(the bases would be in four corners or somthing to that affect)
hows that sound
