Thread: Please fix the Red Box exploit on Last Resort.
Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by FyreWulff Rex
Okay, I'm getting tired of teams doing this to each other, and organized teams doing this to random teams. It just turns 1 Flag into Capture The Box. Problem : After grabbing the Brute Shot, the defensive team can place the Open Container in the base over the flag. This only takes 2 or 3 shots to do and about 10 seconds to set up. Due to how the engine works, you CANNOT pull the flag through ...
i dont see the point. i played a lot of team objective on my 50 and even when people did this i was able to get the flag out. you can nade it off. its a strat and i approve of it
It is so incredibly easy to move with well placed grenades in the opponent's base, where if they have half-a-brain, they're defending it. Also, there's a guy inside the box weighing it down. Easy. [Edited on 11.08.2009 10:36 PM PST]
That's great. Too bad that Shishka has fixed just about every other 'easily counterable' exploit, so history seems to be on my side here. I believe if you have nothing constructive to contribute, you should probably go bark up some other trees. Because either way, it doesn't affect you, right? [Edited on 11.08.2009 10:29 PM PST]
I think it is a great tactic, actually. A fun tactic to use against unknowing teams. However, if this does get changed, and easier solution would be to use Weapon Holders. [Edited on 11.08.2009 10:38 PM PST]
Posted by: Kaelestis Posted by: FyreWulff Rex Posted by: FEA5T Posted by: FyreWulff Rex It doesn't matter if there is a counter to it, it's still an exploit. Just because you could be sniped off the top of Ascension didn't justify super bouncing in Halo 2. Also there's the fact that over the internet, the box doesn't respond well or at all to grenades/brute shot shots, as it did last night with me....
Posted by: Iggyhopper Also, what is this Valhalla Coil exploit? Placing the flag on a certain location of the fusion coil and then detonating it will result in the flag flying across the map in a matter of seconds to the opposing base. Genius strategy, but not much fun for the team trying to defend, obviously since if the other team had pulled the flag and had to run it normally they would've had a chance at preventing the capture,...
Posted by: FyreWulff Rex It would be really great if this thorn would be fixed, so the only flag griefing we have to worry about is the people that park mongooses or hogs on the flag, because at least those can be exploded or moved. The box can be moved. If someone is not standing on it after 30 seconds, it resets.
Posted by: b0b43 Posted by: HaVOk1228 Posted by: b0b43 To be honest, I'm suprised how many people actually support glitches in Matchmaking and try to argue the opposite, in some sort of defence on Bungie. IT IS A GLITCH IN THE GAME. No....its not. Nothing is acting abnormally. Its use of the surroundings. Something being used in a way that Bungie didn't intend is creative, not a glitch. I assume you're going to tell...
People act like putting the box on top of the flag is cheating. The only thing that is happening is someone is putting a large item on the flag. Based on the logic here, parking vehicles on the flag is just as bad. No glitches are being used to make the box move so there's nothing wrong. Also, bungie would've removed the box already if it wasn't fair. [Edited on 11.12.2009 7:58 AM PST]

Posted by: bobcast Posted by: PNut d kidnaper No, I love doing the box trick. Besides this has been beat to death a million times. Nothing is going to happen. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. When I'm in one of my try-hard phases I do whatever it takes to win. In this case, keeping the enemies grimy hands off my flag is priority one. With good team coordination at the beginning of the round it's an...
