No, that was the only way. It was a bug to begin with but in Halo 2 Bungie recognized machinima makers like Red vs Blue and specifically added a button that toggled weapon lowering so they and others could continue making movies using in game assets.
BTW You press down on the D-pad once if anyone wants to know how to toggle it in Halo 2.
