Watching this - epic stuff but ;( about no flag dropping - you can’t drop flags anymore…
What if some vehicle is chasing me and I want to get out my rocket launcher or something else to take it down?
Or could this possibly be just another game option that you can turn on and off? But why would anyone want to turn flag-dropping off?
Worst decision EVER.
People will rage for this for the next 2 months. (and me too)
This does seem odd. I would be surprised if it stuck.
depends on the game type
and this one won’t allow you but others will do
just don’t panic
They seriously need to fix this before launch
Forcing players to hold on to the flag is a terrible decision.

I really hope so becasue otherwise Halo 4 is going to annoy the crap out of a lot of people…
Woops, I just posted a thread at the same time.
Honestly I think this may be the worst decision in Halo history if it turns out to be deliberate. Honestly the most ridiculous new “feature” I have ever heard to come from Halo. And we’ve seen a lot…
Not even by hitting Y?
That sucks.
99% sure will have the option to turn it off. Wouldn’t worry about until we hear more info.

hopefully 343 will change it after they hear the widespread concern

Nobody is gonna pick the -Yoink- up.
The physics in this game look like crap, nothing exciting happens anymore when you throw a grenade at a wall or at a weapon its like they took all the fun interactivity/soul out of the game and replaced it with the soul of a CoD game. This is not a very Sandbox game anymore, its pick your weapons and then go die from the looks of it. That shouldnt be how Halo is there is more to the Sandbox then that. Grenade physics look like you cant even bounce them off walls anymore.
I think that is fake. 343i couldn’t have made such a bad mistake. I mean, everybody knows it is bad.
No flag dropping is simply ridiculous.

Thing is, it really doesn’t. You can actually go FASTER and they give you a -Yoink- pistol.
Nobody is gonna pick up the flag and all the diversity from flag juggling is just gone. Jesus christ this is so -Yoinking!- limited.

Widespread concern? Even if it gained lots of attention on Waypoint that’s only a small fraction of the total Halo community. I’d be fine with just having this online and have the option to turn it off in customs.
I have feeling the same goes for all objectives… This is seriously just plain stupid.
Options and customizations menu. Ta-da!
Just saw Bravo’s video and the annotation about being unable to drop the flag.
Madness.

Really? You’ll be fine with the complete removal of diversity in Flag games, where you’re entirely reliant on your team, and if you dare to pick it up at the wrong time you are totally and royally -Yoinked!-.
In games with randoms, it’ll just be a huge -Yoink- as everybody rushes the flag and makes about 3 inches of ground each time, seeing as there is a hugeass sign over the flag carriers head saying “ICANHAZTEHFLAGZ” and in games with actual good players absolutely no-one is gonna pick the -Yoink- up.
