in halo when the flag is dropped you just have to guess when its going to be returned, so in halo 2 do u think they should have a little timer in the top of ur screen or on the flag to show whens its gettin returned?

Interestingly enough, in the "assault" game on Zanzibar the Flag never returned. They say the game is more fun like that. That sounds interesting. We'll have to try it and see.

i say that there shouldnt be a timer period. if someone drops close to the baddies base, to bad, they should have been more prepared for the ambush.

Err...the flag did return. Although the defense couldn't return the flag in the Zanzibar demo...if the flag went untouched by the offense for a certain amount of time the flag would get returned by god. Only god could return the flag in the Zanzibar demo.

It was fun and challenging for both sides.

The mode they played was very, very specialized. A costum blend of weapons, single flag ctf, 3 minute periods switched back and forth, no manual flag return. Obviously bungie put a lot of time and effort to make the gameply fast paced and absorbing.
