In halo 3 you were only able (as I am sure you all know) to lower your weapon in local games. Both multiplayer and in the campaign.

My question is this. Since there is no ranked multiplayer and therefore no real threat of cheating. Should you be able to lower your weapon using down on the D-Pad like you could in halo 2?

In Firefight and the campaign over xbox live.

Lowered weapon + buddies + epic location = Screenshot win.

What are your thoughts?

Yeah I think you should be able to.

Should there be..... I think so but it is disputable
Will it be in multiplayer ..... multiplayer is the same as Halo 3 so no
Will it be in campaign or firefight.... Possibly though I really don't think it would be much use in firefight with all the enemies you wouldn't have much time for non-actiony screenshots and those that are actiony probably don't need lowered weapons.
I would love it if you could.

At the start when the waves are easy you could all pose as the game starts :P Or if you are just that good. Maybe you can explore the maps without enemies?

Best Song ever: You Cant Quit Me Baby by Queens of the Stone Age

Also Guns and Roses are the biggest load of pish-posh ever

So long as its restricted to ODST, I dont really see a problem (unless it gets exploited in Firefight....)

I can't see how it could be. And since its not ranked and more of a fun team thing I can't see a problem with it. More votes people! Lets keep this alive!
