The Alert Carry is when a spartan in a machinima like RvB is holding a weapon lowered.
I request that we change the button sequence to make it easier to use on all games. Please, and don’t ruin it from a Halo Reach to Halo 4 sense pliss. <— Please.
Smart solution for all games: one downwards tap of the D-pad (see Halo 2), usable on XBox Live. And fix the animations in Halo 4 so that the weapon will stay lowered every time the player moves. NPCs have it, so why not us?
What’ll probably happen: they’ll stay exactly the same, which would be extremely disappointing.
Like Callsign said just make it down on the D-pad.
