Shows some more campaign cutscenes and stuff. I thought it was pretty cool.

yea i really hope that's fixed in the final build of the game,i wonder if the flag/pistol combo is possible somehow in ce, maybe if i made a combined model and made animations for it, can you have two objects in a .gbx model that are not attached together?

The flag in Halo 4 is attached to the magnum, whether you were holding one or not. Thus, it can be replicated in this game pretty easily. Especially since they have the flag working in Halo 4 more like it did in this game. The only issue is that once you have the flag, you cannot drop it.

No one knows if you actually are going to be stuck with the flag. It hasn't been confirmed by 343 yet.

"When you’re holding the flag, you’ve got a job to do – deliver it! You’ll become the center of attention as your teammates are charged with escorting you, and enemies with stopping you. To help reinforce this, you can’t drop the flag; this makes you the centerpiece of encounters as you move the flag to the delivery point, with teammates escorting you along the way."

Taken from Halo Waypoint

Hurrdurp, missed that part xP

I honestly wish that they allowed you to drop the flag, but hey, I guess it gets rid of flag stealing. For the most part. :P

Hey, at least they will let you assassinate and shoot with the flag right? Unlike the others where you either melee, or drop the flag. :\ Imagine if you can't let go of the flag, and can't shoot.... that would suck...

It also prevents trolls from repeatedly picking it up and dropping it, which makes the announcer spam "flag dropped, flag stolen, flag dropped, flag stolen..."

That was the way people used to make the flag move faster, dropping it allowed you to move quicker, before you picked it up again. I think I'm actually okay with this new system... though how it plays remains to be seen.
