Yesterday I fought against someone that grabbed the flag and killed me. When I saw the replay, he was holding the flag sideways while shooting me with an Assault Rifle!
I have no idea if this is something known or if it’s a cheat. Has anyone else encountered this?
An assault rifle while carrying a flag? That’s a bad combination as a pistol can be more precise. It’s probably a glitch just like the assault rifle in flood.
Dude, SMG with the flag! That would be kick -Yoink-!
But yeah, thats definitely a hack, unless 343i is testing different weapon combos with the flag on live 
It’s definitely not a feature, although the video should still be in your File Share. Perhaps you can direct it to us to take a look?
Sincerely,

I’ve seen that too
I’ve seen this too, I recorded the clip (I’m not sure if I uploaded it in my fileshare though)
Their bullets were invisible btw.
This just happened to me last night I uploaded a file vixen neko bff 343 has destroyed halo. they are a terrible company.

Please do not necropost on these threads. It pushes old topics to the front, and shoves the newer ones in the back.
Sounds like a modification (illegal).
It’s either a hack( or glitch like the people using DMR in Flood).
People, it’s not a “hack”. Something like that is impossible to do, as the way the flag pickup works is via the gametype script. To break it down for you:
There’s a section in the script that dictates what happens when you pickup the flag. Making it easy for you to understand:
Player is in boundary.
Attach flag to player’s left hand.
Player switch weapon to flagnum.
Set player to flag carrier traits.
Etc.
The game runs the flag pickup script only when its picked up initially. What happens is, the host can leave a game right before a flag is grabbed, but a player can grab the flag before it blackscreens. This is a 3-5 second timeframe from the host leaving til the blackscreen.
Basically the game still attaches the flag, but the part of the script to switch the weapon never occurs, so after blackscreen the player has the flag, but the weapon switch never happened in the script.
No hack, just the way the script is handled. Also, the reason it’s sideways is because the flag attaches to the left hand of the player. ARs are held with both hands so however the left hand is dictated will determine the angle the flag is held.
Please do not bump/necropost older threads. If you have an issue that needs addressed, feel free to make a new thread.
