Multi Flag CTF

Multi Flag CTF is a Halo 2 and Halo 3 variant of the popular CTF mini-game. It can be found in team playlists or on the Big Team Battle playlist.

Rules
There are two teams based on opposite ends of the map. There are also two flags, each one in the corresponding bases. The object of the games is to capture the opponents' flag three times to win the game. Unlike slayer games, total number of kills does not count toward the score. So a team can go with zero kills but, if they capture the flag three times, then they still win the game. To score, the player with the flag must run directly over where their own flag spawns.

The Flag
In Halo 2, pressing X grabs the flag. In Halo 3, pressing RB grabs the flag. When a player is holding the flag, they walk slowly, and can not get into the driver or gunner seats in vehicles. However, they can get into the passenger seats in vehicles such as the Mongoose and the Warthog. The player with the flag can not pick up weapons but, if the player melees an enemy player, the flag will kill the opponent in one hit, resulting in the Flag Kill Medal. An interesting thing to note is on bungie.net (in the player stats section) the description for a flag kill is " It's right next to the headlight fluid." This is a reference to the Red Vs Blue Episode 4.
