There was 8 of us playing Halo over a LAN- Blood Gulch with a single flag and all vehicles enabled. If you ever try that, you'd find that it's a total pain to steal the flag since it's rather easy to hole-up in the base to defend the flag. And even if you manage to get in, kill everyone, and take the flag, they're going to be respawning really soon. By the way, we put up a divider so we could play in the same room but not look at each others' screens.
So my brother tried a different tactic. After killing them all (with the help of teammates), he grabs the flag and the game announces that the flag was taken. About 5 seconds later, my brother calls out, "I'm almost back guys- protect me!" And our friends just panicked. "How did he get back so quickly!?!" So they took every vehicle available to get to our base in search of him.
What was he really doing? Running to the edge of the map behind their base. Once they cleared out, he started heading back. I toyed with the other team in the tank to look like I was putting up resistance and once my brother was a safe distance from their base, I polished them off.
How they fell for that, I'll never know.
