I think this is a good question. Now that it is harder to get the enemy flag (must push x to grab flag, and can't drive with flag) are we going to be able to carry the flag in one hand, and fire a one handed weapon with the other? It makes sense to me, and I've been in a post with that topic. Is Bungie planning on doing this, not doing it, or is there no comment?


The flag was a two handed item in the demo.

I do not know for sure if the "you cannot drive with flag" caveat in the demo is a permanent implementation. However, I'm fairly confident that you'll want friends with you when you run the flag.

Didnt they say pressing "B" while dual wielding would drop the dual wielded weapon?


That's true, but it's like dropping the oddball to attack, not so much dropping for the sake of dropping.

if you can't drive with the flag, can you ride in say the passenger seat of a warthog or do you just have to run?

Can you "hijack" a warthog? And if so what Happens if there are other people in it? (do you just kick the driver out and drive with the other people in or do you kick them all out)
Thanks for taking time out to answer these :)

Shishka, didn't the plasma sword do melee combos? i saw a video of someone doing 2 vertical strikes, then one horizontal strike, then the uppercut.


It's my understanding that every weapon has melee combo's.

I think they said it was only for the 2004 demo, in the final version you can probabley drive and hold the flag at the same time, in the demo it merly forced working as a team to win (maximun experience).

with the one hand for gun, and one hand for flag thing. I think it could be balanced. I hate when I take out a few of the enemies, and my team does to, but then the enemy responds right there and kills them, and I'm the only one left. Of course, I have the flag, and can't defend myself. I usually throw the flag behind me, and kill them with whatever gun I have, then I die. Then my team comes, and the flag is already returned.

This is a misconception. Just because health wasn't shown at the '04 demo doesn't mean it wasn't there. If your shields got wiped out, you didn't necessarily die right away. You still have shields over your health.


and when i say is the battle rifle god like i mean... is it unblanaced like the pistol was...

Having not played all the weapons, I don't think I'm qualified to make a comment on that. I don't see that scenario happening, myself. The plasma pistol/SMG combo is much deadlier.

Not that I've heard, but that doesn''t mean anything. As far as features go, those two strike me as relatively easy to implement and not as vital to test.

Unknown about the tank. It should be boardable (which I'm pretty sure it is), everything else about it, I don't know.

Who knows? I haven't heard anything about the Scorpion tank, myself.

Indeed. In fact, I have some issues to attend to that are not Bungie related, so let's wrap this up. I'll pick seven more questions, then I'm done for the night. =)

I watched the video: The "Gauss Gun" Looks, Sounds, and makes explosions EXACTLY like the rocket launcher hog. THEY ARE THE SAME GUN. Someone said it had a plasma explosion? THAT WAS WHEN IT WAS SHOOTING COVIE VEHICLES.
So its SETTLED. The gauss gun does NOT EXIST. the ROCKET LAUNCHER DOES

are the big icons/emblems over the head of people annoying, especially the big flag icon when someone has the flag?

tell the truth, is the no-health thing REALLY a diffrence?

how many times did you honk the horn in the warthog?

does the a button still brake in vheicles and do a noselift in the ghost?

how powerful is the battle rifle compared to the pistol?

are there any secret stuff you played with in the demo that you were told not to tell anyone?

if so, can you make the choice of telling us or suffering sever consiquences?

can you forget about the comment i made above, i was just kidding?
