What if the flag is not a flag at all, and in fact a Promethean voodoo staff? It imbues you with greater speed, but binds to your soul unless you can bring it into contact with another. You don't wanna know where the pistol comes from.
It would've been better if the flag itself could be the gun. Brap brappin' and the bottom of it becomes the barrel.

Pretty sure all the settings seen can change. 343 must have had a reason to use this setting.
Maybe its because alot of people trying out the game will be casually focused gamers so the "pros" cant juggle the flag etc.
Also i doubt the not seeing your secondary will make it to the final build.
Seriously chill the fuck out people.

That doesn't add up that you cant drop the flag, there must be some explanation to this confusion or game change. The Waypoint above Flag Carrier, im not even worried but would like to have clarifications anyways.

There is no skill... er, spoon.
Agreed, let's get back to the important topics.

30 sec? I wonder how often you can summon it.

Just met Lars Bakken while waiting in line.
There are a dozen of us HaloGAFers waiting next to each other in line. Lots of shenanigans.

Wait, hang on a second...
What if the UI is so patronizing...
...because it's a training simulator?!

huh? Does Lars work at 343 now?
I take it they are waiting in line for Halo 4, I'm sure someone from 343 they somewhat know is there when they get towards the front of the line they can ask. Not that hard to figure out Tash

Yeah, I'm actually not worried about the sentry. Sounds no more offensive than jetpack, camo, hardlight shield...
This game is gonna be so fucking weird, and I mean that in a good way.
No half measures, I'm glad 343 just said "fuck it" and made this game their own instead of making half assed changes and being careful about what toes they stepped on.
Props for them having balls this size. Can't wait to play the damn game.

Honestly the flag thing (If final) really isnt that big of a deal. Just a new feature to get used to. Hardly gamebreaking.
Although some reactions in here suggest cancelled pre orders :/
Also.. Dat tank sound. Fantastic.

The Halo World is ending! Up is down and Down is up! Flags can't be dropped and Oddballs can be thrown like a basketball! EMP gernades are now orange and produce a power drainer! The Banshee still looks like the Reach Model and no one knows what other "suprises" are in store!
AND I'M NOT EVEN USING INVERTED CONTROLLS!
Some clarification is needed.

Confirmed, can't drop the flag.

im not sure the whole "not being able to drop the flag" idea is enough for someone to cancel the pre-order, unless they only play CTF. even then I don't think its enough. it would be a giant over-reaction.
I just don't understand the reasoning behind it.

Shadows on weapons are in. This is good news, right guys?

Oh ok. I just thought you were directly replying to the Lars comment.

I don't really understand this line of thinking. Not all changes have to be drastic. In many cases, 343's changes evoke the old adage : If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Halo 4 looks awesome in many ways, but I'm not going to celebrate the integrity of 343's vision when so many of the changes are arbitrary or damaging.
I think CTF plays best with the Halo 2 style flag juggling and return system. No bones about it. I think the flag mechanic is MORE broken if you can wield a pistol with unlimited ammo and drop/juggle it though.

343 saying fuck all the work bungie did and stepping on all the toes to make halo "theirs"
If you really can't drop the flag then that will be hilarious.
About a month ago I was concerned about Halo and CoD coming out at the same time because I wanted to have alone time with both. Now, it looks like the decision just keeps getting easier and easier.
I'm assuming the no flag drop, if true, is the result of some inane attempt to make objectives more "team-oriented" or some garbage like that.

Astute analysis, Junior.

Don't worry, you get a week to cry in the corner over a picture of Halo 4 before CoD launches.

the shallow allegiance to a forum title is baffling.
Hills allow players on foot to traverse the map in a safe way if they use the landscape and layout well.
The manner in which you're posting lends more to the name calling than the title itself.
Still a million times better than Bungie saying fuck all the work Bungie did and stepping on all the toes to make Reach "theirs"

Yeah. And I have no doubt Halo 4 will be fun, including the new CTF. We'll see how the carrier waypoints, inability to drop the flag, the flagnum, and all the other numerous changes play out. My first (and second, and third) impressions are pretty negative, though.
I actually like there are a lot of "distractions" on the map and not that it's so fucking wide open. Seems like it will make vehicle driving require a lot of skill. My warthog driving skills are up for this challenge.

I hate to make this a thing again, but when I was a junior I didn't give a fuck if I got called a junior. I just accepted it. It's best if all of the juniors did this.
