UPDATE: The alert carry glitch has been fixed with the Cartographer’s Gift update. There is now a setting called “Machinima Controls” which allows players to toggle whether or not weapons can be lowered in a game type. This setting must have previously defaulted to “Off” on all game types before the update allowed that to be switched.
Old post:
Alert carry, or as most know it, simply lowering your weapon*,*does not yet work as of launch. If you have ever tried lowering your weapon with the button combo, it makes your gun disappear off your screen, but from another player’s perspective (or from Theater) your weapon is****still raised.
This is a serious issue for the Machinima and general Halo 5 video-making community, and will even affect Rooster Teeth in making Red vs. Blue. Some clans often use weapon lowering as a formality, and other players use alert carry for assorted activities. It’s something that has been in all the past Halos that needs to make a return. Evidently 343 meant for it to be in Halo 5, but something went wrong during development. It was like this in the Beta, too.
Please acknowledge this, or better yet just work on a fix this glitch. It’s a relatively small thing but it should have been working to begin with.
