[edit] Tactics

• Generally, this achievement is easy, but it still requires some luck. Hiding near the flag if it is at a corner will help, but watch out for a Flag Carrier's deadly melee.
• If played on Avalanche, the easiest way is to get a Spartan Laser. So if the Flag Carrier gets on a vehicle like a Warthog, you can stop it with one shot from your laser.
• Sniper Rifle is also useful, but if the Flag Carrier is protected by a Bubble Shield or Regenerator, or if the Flag Carrier is on a vehicle, the weapon to stop it is useless. (Exception: A Pro Sniper can snipe a Flag Carrier off a vehicle with accuracy and if the Sniper is at the right angle.)
• Another tactic on Avalanche is to get the shotgun and wait at your base for someone to take the flag. (note this requires a lot of patience)
