We've been told that we can shoot with one hand while driving an ATV, although it won't be easy. Why can't we do the same with the flag? We hold it with one hand, and drive with the other. And it won't be cheap, since
1. All vehicles are destructible, and people who have played the game have said it's really hard to go a long way with a vehicle now.
2. It'll be tougher to drive the ATV with one hand.
3. If you say you hold the flag with two hands, well that's just bull. That's not necessary. Spartans only hold some guns with two hands because else they wouldn't be able to shoot accurate with them (an example is the shotgun). But you're not going to shoot with a flag are you? And I'm sure it's not heavy. I'm sure a Spartan should be able to hold a flag with one hand, and a gun/steering wheel on the other. I mean, a normal marine should be able to do that! And Spartans are a million times stronger! Comon Bungie!

The ATV is too fast. It would be like getting away in a ghost in Halo 1, only without firepower (Like the ghost had any)

Now what might be a little interesting is if you use the sharp end of the flag pole like a lance. Jousting on an ATV...imagine all the bodies impaled on the pole.

Lol. Funny, but not likely. They're wearing MJOLNIR! You think a little flag pole would really impale them? lol.

I think you should spin the flag around and do some kung-fu stuff with the [color=red]B[/color]-button combos. Like in the war movies.

I made a post that was similar to this but: yes, or atleast be able to stick it somewhere like the antena u see on the back of the warthog, and if it gets shot it falls out. Plus the biggest use of the ATV in MP would be flag retrieving, infact that would be atleast 90 percent of its use.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

I believe it might be possible, because Bungies first description of the ATV was for bringing the flag back. It also still fits in with their new idea that the flag must be visible at all times. In the passenger seat of the Warthog and on the ATV the flag would still be visible.

It would be sweet if you could do a melee move with the flag all kung-foo stlye where you like beat a guy in the chest, then head, the legs and then impale them with the flag after their dead.

I always wondered why you can't stick the flag in your MJOLNIR pants and still shoot

Maybe we'll be able to drive the ATV with the flag, nobody said that we can't. They only said that you can't drive with the flag in your hands. I think that you might be able to put the flag on the back of the ATV and then drive w/out having to hold it. Or like somebody said that you can shoot while driving the ATV, instead of shooting, you hold the flag. Remember, these Spartans are in MJOLNIR armor, it's not like they are weak, and would have a hard time holding onto the flag and drive.

Because you have an energy shield... you can't just stick the flag through it. Which reminds me: where exactly do the Spartans store their weapons?!

That is EXACTLY what I said. Why did you have to rewrite it in your own words?

Why do you not just wait until you get to play it, and for that matter the final version to say whether or not a decision is 'bad'?

When did I say any decision was bad? All I said was that it should be in there. Sometimes, it's not good to read in between the lines.
