So news has filtered out that you “Can’t drop the flag” in H4. Is that seriously true, or is it just something that got over exaggerated, or maybe a glitch or something?
Because if you honestly, in default gametypes, cannot drop the flag, then I just don’t even…wow. Surely this can’t be true?

Yes. WOW.
=’(
apparently it uses a lot of bandwith. If this is true Im glad 343 is looking into all the detailed aspects of the game to make it smoother.
This would also explain why they decided to let you have your pistol out when carrying the flag
It’s indeed true, at least for now. Here’s to hoping it was just a glitch.

What does? Not having a flag and picking one up? Doesn’t matter. I’d rather have the game marginally less “smoother” (I doubt you would notice the difference) for the sake of being able to pick up the flag.
That is an awful, awful game decision. I was really starting to look foward to H4 and this has infuriated me - these guys get paid to make decision like THAT?
Awful. Excuse-less. Defenceless.
Calm down,I’m positive that we will be able to drop the flag… nothing is confirmed and these threads are all over the forum.

I do think that this seems to absurd to be true. However, 343 have made some crazy decisions and hold some beyond-belief opinions which basically relate to that fact that they want to limit the skill in the game as much as feasibly possible and make iit into a noob fest for children…so I’m not actually sure how much this would surprise me.
If it’s true though, I’ll never be playing flag ever again, except for in gametypes where you can drop it - if it is a gametype option.
This is just the E3 build, I’m certain that they wouldn’t remove such a classic halo tactic like flag juggling.
I hear it mite possibly be turn on-off enabled.
yes its true but the game isn’t finalized so hopefully its taken out.

Agreed. If you can’t drop the flag in Halo 4, teamwork will be destroyed. I’ll be the only one picking up the flag in the whole game… WRONG decision 343i!
Hope this gets fixed… You can pass the oddball, you should be able to drop or toss the flag to a teammate like every other halo.
So if you have a power weapon and pick up a flag you are stuck with a pistol!?!? This surely can’t be true. Has anyone tried pressing Y/ Switch weapons yet.

E3 build? lol
Maybe if all the kids here didn’t insist on making the Magnum worthless on its own, I wouldn’t be so mad.
Worthless Magnum, auto flag pickup, can’t do anything against it after you pick up the flag.
Goodbye objective games.
It’s still NOT confirmed by 343, is it?
Just saying…

The build is brand new for PAX, it isn’t the E3 build.
Also, removing a ‘classic halo tactic’? Have you played Halo: Reach, flag juggling was removed from everything but MLG in Matchmaking.
If this is kept it will no doubt hinder the objective experience for a lot of players that love carrying the flag. Like myself.

Only because players complained about an announcer that was fixed anyway.
