You're not good at Halo either.

The best way to play flag is to try and kill the enemy team before grabbing the flag. You want them to be respawning when you grab it so you can get further before they try stopping you. A quicker way to move it is to juggle it. This is done by droppping an picking up the flag repeatedly as you run back to your base.

Also, be aware of the enemy. If they have two people in your base then sometimes you can pull the flag to distract them and help your teammates push forward. It's not about how much you grab the flag it's about taking advantage of openings in your opponents defenses.

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

Something Canada will never do.

Juggle the flag one way in the beggining, then turn around and take the flag normal that way. This will make all your opponents go there they saw you're juggling. And watch vids on youtube.

Or get your team in a set up. For example if you kill the enemy team off carb side of heretic then you know the other team will spawn either under their base or P1. So have 2 people get top mid to set up for the spawn kill and run the flag carb side.

If you kill them all off P side get P3 control and have 2 top mid and one carb 3. That way when they run to you base you have 3 people with shots, and if they spawn under their base, you have P3 raining nades on them, and if they go bottom mid, top mid has complete control.

TL;DR dont be retarded use your team

For CTF you want to kill all or most of the other team and then flag juggle it to the other side. For Oddball you should focus on camping the ball. Don't pick it up right away. Instead wait for opponents to go after that. Throw a grenade right when they are about to pick it up. Kill them and then juggle the ball to where you saw them come from. Find a good spot to camp like a small room. If you have a chance first, try to grab a bubbleshield or shotgun too coz it will increase your chances of living. If you are in an open area drop the ball and fight when enemies come to you. Always drop the flag or ball when getting shot at mid range.

They have less chance they will spawn there again or you can nade that spawn to ensure it.


In oddball the everyone always spawns the opposite side of the ball regardless of team

Not really. That is true in Heretic, but not all maps. The spawning has a lot to do with where people died last.
