Hold up, did i miss something? Did Bungie ever even say the ATV was gonna be in multiplayer? It might just be a single-player vehicle like the Banshee was in Halo 1.

And how do you guys know that you can use a one-handed weapon while you're on it. Wouldn't it be kind of hard to drive and shoot somebody that's next to you. You would have to stop the ATV and then look over and shoot the guy.

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!


Well can someone pick u up if u have the flag and drive u to ur base or the drop off zone then u score? That will be better becoz u need more teamwork and it doesn't take one person to beat the dam game but at the same time people like doing that but it gives the defending team to get the flag back and it gives ur team to cover u as ur running back to base so u just need to get used to it.

Well if you can shoot one handed on the ATV i think you should be able to hold the flag and drive the ATV

OK DIDNT YOU GUYS SEE THE HALO 2 MULTIPLAYER CLIP, AT THE END YOU SEE A RED SPARTAN BEHIND A GUN AND A WARTHOG WITH A BIG RED POINTER ABOVE IT DRIVING AWAY, YOU SEE THE SPARTAN SHOOTING THE HOG AND THE HOG DRIVING FAST AWAY FROM THE BASE THAT MEANS THEY GOT THE FLAG!!!!!!!!!!!! SO WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT CTF NO VEHCILE FLAG IS TOTAL B.S. AND WHERE DID YOU HEAR THE STORY THAT ATV CANT TAKE A FLAG!!!

The main reason why Bungie has taken the ability to drive while holding the flag is to promote teamwork. I always wondered why Bungie let it happen in Halo 1, its not exactly realistic. Taking control of a vehicle while you have a giant pole, with a flag flapping about at the top doesn't seem too easy.

What I think would be good is that all the extra features Halo 2 has could be taken off if you want. There's bound to be some aspect of Halo 2 multiplayer that rubs people up the wrong way. Look at this topic, its got lots of people ticked off.

Personally I think that not being able to drive while holding the flag will make a much greater challenge. It makes you strategise a lot more. You have to make sure there's a driver there to take you or you're running all the way back to base!

Have any of you played CTF with 16 people well its nearly bloody impossible you can use all the team work you want send in 5 guys and only have one survive and now he wont be able to drive he'll have to walk all the way back thats stupid and honestly as I said before if you can drive with a rocket launcher you can drive with a flag just lie it between the two seats in the front its not like he would have kept it in his hand.

holy crap kids just shut up and trust them that they will make it amazing. Maybe you wont like what they change in the game now.. but its probably for the best. Its not like the creators havent played the game before.

And where has Bungie said that you can drive with a Rocket Launcher? Do you mean with it tucked away and unable to fire or do you mean you can drive and fire?

Okay, I know I read something offfical say that you can drive while holding the flag. But I think they might have scrapped that idea. Go to http://media.xbox.ign.com/media/482/482228/vids_1.html and go to the very end of the "E3 2004 Muliplayer" video and you will see the player shooting at somebody driving with the flag.

Crap, i just repeated what reclaimer said

*grabs his big giant "rumor" stamp* honestly... nothing has been said about not being able to drive with it... they dissabled it in the demo, so it would take longer (as the guy said)... and it still hasn't been comfirmded that theres even an ATV, has it?

When was the last time you drove around holding a giant heavy stick while avoiding enemy fire and obstacles in your way? There are other games of this nature where you can not piolet a vehicle while holding the flag.

The real question is why do you want to play a team oriented game style but not have it built around team play?

Also remember that in combat every vehicle has its place. But on a side not i would love to see two guys double up on the back of the ATV, i don't i would ever stop laughing.

It's a problem because as it is I've had BG CTF games last 2 hours. Often times all your teammates die and the only way to get out and get a cap is to drive yourself. Thats with tons of team work as it is.

If the MC can drive a vehicle while he is supposely holding a rocket launcher and another weapon on the side he should be able to do it with a flag.

chief is as strong as 13 very built men so I think he could probley hold the big pole with two fingers. In the book they just ripped the flag off the pole

-blam!-! Why are we arguing over a feature in a game that we've never played? Seriously, we have no idea how it will make a difference, good or bad, or none at all. So everyone should stop fighting over it and put faith in Bungie. Holy -blam!-.
