Subject: Flipping Vehicles

The ONLY thing in Halo 1, with graphics, that bothers me, has to be how the chief flips vehicles. There isn't animation that does it, and he has both hands on the guns. So what does he do, kick it? Also, when you carry the flag, I think you should have to drop it in order to flip a vehicle, or hold it in one hand or something. Ohh... can you duel wield with the flag? Anyway...am I the only person who thinks the chief flips vehicles wierd?

Well maybe he should do a melee animation when he flips it to make it more realistic. You cant dual wield the flag btw.

No you can't duel wield with the flag. Yea that is Weird, maybe the MC has Psy powers.

Yeah, but it could be sumthin quick. I like what (sorry, forgot the name) said about a melee animation. How about a plasma pistol type thing, how he holds the gun in one hand...Thats one of, if not THE fastest melee!

The fact is, Master Chief has to flip the vehicle somehow. People are expecting way too much from a game. If Master Chief put away his firearm to flip a vehicle, and people were getting attacked and couldn't return fire, they would be pissed. Whats wrong with the way it is?

It aint a big deal, just kind of bugs me cause i'm a perfectionist, lol. But I'm talkin something quick, not him doin 2 sets of 10 with a hog or anything.

Service Record

While it does seem odd, if they do it your way, it would slow down the gameplay. What used to be (flip, get in, and drive) will become (put away weapon / drop flag, rearm / pick up flag, get in, drive). See my point, even though we can no longer hold the flag and drive.

EDIT: Holy crap I'm slow at typing. I though I would have one of the first replys.

He doesnt need to put his gun away a simple melee attack while flipping it would look more realistic than nothing.

Lol, was there no replies when you started typing? Anyway, I'm talkin quick though? Imagine it like this: If you need to flip a vehicle, you press X, and it does a melee, and then you get in... it'll be like not any longer, cause it takes a second for it to flip!

Well, it should be a unique melee per weapon that is different from the attacking melee- you can't imagine flipping a Warthog with the Shotgun's melee attack, could you?

no, not without it crushing you

btw, the part that bugs me is how high the chief flips the scorpion and hog, they go airborn.

how much does a scorpion weigh?

There should be an animation, but you should be able to hold your weps, or it would suck
