http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/haloreach/PancakesLP/fileshare#%2...[This gametype will work whereas the in-built CTF gametype will not]
So grab an extra controller or a mate and have at it =D (Thanks Joda X & Maka91!)

[!] You must return two flags before the end of the game [or the end of your last defensive round in 1 Flag CTF] however you do NOT have to return two flags in a row [but you can].
eg. you may return the flag, then your teammate returns the flag, then you return it a second time and you will still get the cheevo.
[!] This does NOT have to be done on a defiant map [but can be].
This is how you do it legit for if/when they patch the custom games...|> Load up team objective [preferably] or BTB and vote for a CTF game variant
{All three of the defiant dlc achievements can be won in the team objective playlist}
- Once in a matchmaking Capture The Flag game, simply wait for an enemy to take your team's flag [you will hear "flag STOLEN!"], kill them and recover the flag by standing beside it.
- A reverse progress bar will appear at the bottom middle of the screen in your team's colour. Once it has fully drained, "flag returned" will sound and the flag will be returned to your base.
Easy.
- Now rinse and repeat and pop goes the cheevo :)
NOTE:~ To receive credit for returning a flag you simply must be close to it at the very last second before it is returned, you do not need to be beside it the entire time the progress bar is draining.
~ Multiple players may return the flag at once and all of the said players will receive the credit for the flag return.
~ If engaging at long range you will know when you kill the flag carrier as "flag dropped" will sound and you will receive a killed flag carrier medal which is a blue flag with a red dot on it in a gold octagon with a white background.
~ In CTF a smart enemy trying to score will either get a lift in a vehicle driven by one of their teammates back to their base or use your base's teleporter and then get a friendly lift or walk it back. Preventing this is key or else the flag will quickly be out of effective range and difficult to return.
~ The "flag TAKEN" sound cue occurs when YOUR team steals the ENEMY flag. "flag STOLEN" sounds when the ENEMY team steals YOUR team's flag [this is what you want to hear].
~ Camping near the flag with a shotgun is a very effective way by which to kill the flag carrier, but beware of the flag carrier's melee instakill.
Hope this helps
Happy gaming
