There is no way for them to keep track of somebody "guarding" the flag, for an oddball they could give medals for like 30 seconds of ball time, but I don't really see why you would want a medal for it because everyone can see how many seconds you've had with the ball.

they kinda get a point if the opposing team does manage to get the flag the person guarding it has an easy kill to get medal for killing the flag carrier

Also, guarding the flag doesn't make you win a Capture the flag match. Although guarding the flag is essential to preventing the other team from winning, your team can't win either if everyone is just guarding the flag. It shouldn't be awarded.

Good point, but theres way to many games where no one wants to guard the flag, and you cant win if no one is guarding the flag...

If you're playing a Capture the Flag match, and everyone on both teams decided to rush for the flags, eventually one team would make more captures and would win.

However, if everyone on both teams decided to sit back and guard the flag, no one's going to win.

You already get something for guarding the flag. You get a medal for killing the flag carrier.

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Thats retarted. Would you like a medal for walking around the map as well?

you don't deserve medals for camping. Enough said. Its get the flag and score or be killed. You should get medals for killing the other teams player if he has your flag and you recover it.

Yeah - i was guarding the scull most of the time and for wat!?- just to kill a couple of players before it gets boring and the match ends?

It would be better if the player who is guarding the flag or a scull gets more medals or credit for it- furthermore it would be AWSOMMME if the person who's guarding the flag can take the flag with him to protect it

you know that if you kill someone holding the flag/bomb/ball/skull... you get a medal. If you melee someone with the ball/flag/bomb/skull, you get a medal. So i cant see how you can complain. Besides, it is for the betterment of the team. Medals are just... icing on the cake and dont really mean anything.

I think that it would be fair if the person who is guarding the flag has an unlimited active camo or somfink?!

It does mate - no one will guard it for just stopping the other team from winning- besides everyone wants to get the most fun out if Live play

bro , i am with you!

many a time in the postgame lobby ppl give me beef for only having, say 8-9 kill and 20 deaths. being a defensive player, i garauntee ALL of those kills were game saving plays.

i remember on relic they were rushing hog for the final 10 secs. i didnt have any stickies, just a plasma rifle and smg. rocks were no where to be seen, and the rest of my team was too busy spawn killing to realize that there were only three ppl on defense. so inevitably the hog busts thru, as i hear someone say the other team now has both snipers. that flag leaving the base= point for them. it plowed thru my other teammates and i was literally the last line of defense (i usually do that role) and started shootin away. with a well timed jump i was able to take out gunner, but the hog then got past me. i turned around and just started firing, and as it was, i got quite a clutch double kill. game over, we win by 1. in the postgame lobby ppl congratulate each other on 17+ kills and like 3 deaths. then they say "iceman, try to get more than 6 next time." i dont say anything, cuz i know i did my part. all i do is make plays, kill the team, and make a few clutch saves. that's all i need.

Actually its a unwrittin rule to stay back and guard the flag, but only a small select few have it implante din their mind, it also proves that you own halo2, because you can kill anyone going into your base, if you are that good, but still somtimes your team will say good triple kill or something and give you a good feeling, thats the only medal I need, but yea I agree
