Does anyone else think that there should be a slot in the MJOLNIR armour for the flags to slot into? (Just in multiplayer, of course) Or even the flag in one hand and a single-handed weapon in the other? I mean, if the MC can flip a scorpion tank, i'm sure he can hold a flag using only one hand, can't he?

......yeah......

being able to dual wield a flag and a weapon would ruin strategy. I doubt anyone wants this to turn into UT 2004.. (even though I know it wont)

As most of you already know, you have to push and hold x in order to pick up the flag. I think, if you have a single handed weapon, you could also push y to pick up the flag, so you have a single handed weapon, and the flag. (so then you're not completely defenseless) It makes sense. Besides, it even it up a bit. I remember countless times were all the warthogs were gone, and all my team died when I had the flag. I had no defense against 8 guys. I threw the flag in front of my and killed 2 with my shotgun, then, I... blew up... I guess I could say... lol.

A slot, you kno, like a clip that holds the flag in place? So you can still shoot your weapons, but everyone will still kno who has the flag

but if u could shoot with the flag then that could defeat the need for teammate cooperation. since you cant drive with the flag it is crucial that u have constant team assistance and communication.

Not being able to hold a weapon while holding the flag is for the sake of balance, as will your inability to drive a vehhicle if you have the flag.

that is prolly why bungie made it so that u cant drive with the flag. it is more crucial for teamwork.

i voted for being able to hold a weapon and carry the flag, but i see where people are coming from....

if it was that way in halo CE people wouldve chosen their best pistoler, to get the flag and just run bacj to the base with it, while owning people with the pistol on the way back, ive gotten used tot he no weapon carrying of the flag, but everyone has to admit that sometimes there are situations when you just want a weapon, and when you drop the flag to fire, the guy on the other team just picks it up and sacrifices himself....

Which is why you turn flag returning off.

I dont think there should be a slot. Leave it the way it is.

But the flag still returns itself in about 15 seconds, thats too quick. Maybe if that was extended or the returning system altered?

Slightly off topic but not really...

I drove a Ghost in the base of Sidewinder, grabed the flag, then jumped back in the Ghost and took off for a score. And I have done the same with the Puma (Warthog). I play on Xbox and I was wondering what all this talk about having the flag and not being able to drive? And I agree with MC being able to grab a flag with one hand if he can flip a Scorpion but I think it would be better if they kept it the same and you can't shoot with the flag. But I get in a vehichle and drive away, and when I am in the drivers/gunner seat, the flag isnt sticking out like if you were in the passenger seat.

the teamwork part is crucial for the CTF matches.

i say leave it the way it is... a big part of strategy in halo was keeping a low profile once you have the flag.
