In most of the [[Capture the Flag]] gametypes, the flag is an item that players must retrieve from the opposing team's base and return it to the players' base in order to score points. In some gametypes such as [[Assault]], players have to transport the flag towards the opposing team's base in order to score points. Similar to [[Skulls]], the flag temporary replaces the previous weapon the player was using when carried. The flag can't be holstered, but can be used as a very efficient melee weapon. Depending on the rules of the variant, the flag can deal much more damage than a normal melee would. In the default settings for CTF, a flag melee can cause an instant kill. In ''[[Halo 4]]'', players can carry the flag with their left hand and wield an M6H sidearm in their right, regardless of the weapons they are carrying | In most of the [[Capture the Flag]] gametypes, the flag is an item that players must retrieve from the opposing team's base and return it to the players' base in order to score points.

The flag's design in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' was very plain, with very little ripple animation or pole design. It is topped by a skull with a crescent moon shape below it. ''Halo 2'' saw a number of visual upgrades to the flag, but the overall design and shape of the flag is still similar to its predecessor. The flag in ''Halo 3'' is entirely different than that of the previous two games. The ''Halo 3'' flag is more of a banner than a flag. The flag is held onto the pole by one parallel bar, perpendicular to the pole, and flaps little between them. The emblems have changed; now they bear a symbol of the UNSC, and the only defining characteristics are their colors. ''Halo: Reach'' had it changed back to a flag. The pole retains a silver skull on top and sports the logo of Noble Team, along with a slight shine to the lining. | The flag's design in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' was very plain, with very little ripple animation or pole design.
