Forgive me if this has already been posted, but do you guys think the flag will be like solid this time around? Like if you hit it with a warthog it will move? And the same with a grenade? That would be so cool, you could nudge it into harder and harder to reach places.

It would be cool. I have heard though that you need to hold X to pick it up like a gun now so ur not screwed when you drop it to kill someone and keep picking it up.

Currently this is not the case - I imagine it would be pretty cheap if you could just use grenades or a Ghost boost to knock the flag across the map.

Why knock the flag around anyway when its safest in your base?

if youre base is being stormed by six spartans with rocket launchers and shotguns, i might dare to say that youre base is no longer safe. in fact (call me crazy but...) it may be even considered dangerous! would you belive that?

since the walls are distructable and stuff couldent you blow a hole in the wall to exape or enter with the flag (if its solid it could be shot around) ps the new flag looks better i want to see some one running around with it(check out what bungie did to it )

Sketch is talking about launching the enemy flag to your base for a much easier capture...

That would be rather cheesy..

Very cheesy indeed! I imagine that the emblem on the flag would be that of the clan or team. That would be an awesome little feature for the flag.

Yes, sketch is right. I think it'd be cheap. People would find ways to make it unfair for everyone. Moving the flag somewhere easier to guard, or something.

I don't think it will be solid. But that whole "press X" thing makes sense, now you cannot drive with the flag, you have to drop it.

Also, it would be cheap if you could blow it around. Whenever I play 2 vs 2 oddball, we usually shoot a rocket at the skull just before the opposing team gets it. You ought to try it in Blood Gulch, the oddball looks like it is in a half-pipe.

You can still drive with the flag, to release the flag you still press either trigger, its only to pick up the flag that you have to press x. Its to prevent you from being in a battle and getting kiled cuz u keep picking up the flag.
