Driving Hogs is what I do.

Hello to all,

A breif note I want to make, this is the first thread of a series of I shall be making with a different topic each week, in which the topic will be chosen by popular demand.

-Fedezzer

I will be starting with a CTF based topic, in specific, flag transporting. I have started to have my doubts when playing Capture The Flag. It seems as though there is no point in trying to get the flag myself anymore, beecause almost everyone else on my team seems to be messing about when it comes to getting me back to base.
Every time I go to retreive the enemies flag, I fight them off in vein because the only way I can hope to get out alive is on foot, when I'm nearly always picked off by a tank, sharpshooter, or a persuing Warthog.
That's why I let someone else get the flag while give them a good mode of transport. I get the first Hog I see and wait for full seats, then set off as quick as possible to get ahead of the enemy. I drop off the side seater and drive around for a bit, then come back as soon as they have secured the objective. I set off home, dodging the odd bullet, and bring the flag bearer to our podium. Once he's scored, we go off and do it all again.
I'm not telling you this because I'm trying to show off, I'm trying to give you tips, in my hope that you will all start using your brain when it comes to these things. Hope it works for other people, I know it does for me.

Happy hunting,
Fedezzer

You need to be in a coordinated team to reliably get the flag back to your base.

Or you need to be a team of ruffgonjas and the other team needs to not know how to handle endless objective rushing.

Yeah. These tips didn't help me because I only play with a team of players with mics so we know who is doing what.

Searching by myself and getting paired with mute braindead idiots is unbearable now.

To be honest, I have to agree.
