I got to play Halo 2 at E3 and one thing I noticed is that I ran slower when I picked up the flag. I spoke to some of the developers after we played and they explained that the weight of the flag is completely customizable. I think this is an awesome feature. Being able to balance a CTF game base on how fast or slow you would run while carrying it is definately a bonus. The other great thing about the flag is that you now have to hit X to pick it up. Gone are the days of accidently picking up the flag while trying to shoot someone. Woohoo!!!

And i'm not having a go at you, just telling you that there are members on here (not staff) that know every little detail (thus how I got caught out)

I am pretty sure noone knew that as it has never been discussed

I, for one, didn't know... to me that sounds awesome... that really reminds of a game of Oddball, holding it and trying to make it to a portal in Wizard as every single damned type of bullet, plasma and grenade whiz past your head *shudders*

I didn't play at fanfest, I played the last day of E3. Got an "in the biz" invite. I work for an indie record label in my spare time. But its cool. I had a good time. You can check out some pics here:

I am the chubby one on the right with the glasses and hat. If you zoom closer you will see my hebrew tattoo on my leg and my name tag which says "Erik Leitner" Undecided Records.

Thats no proof. You could just call yourself Erik and say you were that guy. Unless I see in and you are undeniably the person in the picture I would believe you then and only then.

"Help Help I'm being repressed! Come and see the Violence inherent in the system!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh did you see that? you saw him repress me?"

To those that played, did u have to drop a weapon for the flag? at my clan (12 peeps, meet every sun) we're STILL arguing wheather u have to drop a weapon with the flag as you have to press X. Also if u do drop a weapon, what about pressing "R-Trigger" does that do a flag attack move like the energy sword?? <imagines flag vs Energy Sword matches...BETTER BLOODY HAVE ENERGY SWORD WEAPON SET!!!!>

you did not have to drop a weapon.

I have a solution. For those who don't believe me. I will take a pic of me with my ID and a household item of your choosing. I know what you are saying, "but you can forge the ID". well, you already saw a pic of me in E3, so if I look like my pic, have the item you tell me to have in the pic, and my ID, i would have to be telling the truth. Its the best i can do. If you think of a better way, let me know.

Well you can melee attack in the origional, so i see no reason why not in the sequel.

Also, thanks for the info whoever made the post, i think i had heard about the holding 'X', but i hadn't heard about the weight, sort of Midtown Madness style with the gold :)

Stabby, I feel your pain. There are to many non believers in this crowd. I will soon be playing the Halo 2 beta because my friends dad works for microsoft and was lucky enough to get picked for it when he applied. No one is going to believe me that I played it, so I'm not even gonna post a thread about it. PM me if you have any questions about it, it is a MP beta.

The hog still slides, but the control is tighter. The best new feature about the warthog is not the rocket launcher, or the secondary explosion. It the HORN!!! It is great for telling teammates you are coming, but there is nothing better than running someone down and then honking the horn at them. It is the new teabagging!!!
