Hopefully all they meant was that flag juggling is back. Why bungie thought it was a good idea to remove it, I have no idea.
Amazing! It's almost like you've played the game.
Gotta appease the CoD-crowd.
Well, we'll be able to make that call once we play that be-...
Oh. Right
Edit:
At the very least don't let us sprint with the flag... Playing speedflag its really frustrating when the enemy touches the flag then sprints to his base within seconds (and don't get me started on it when evade was in...)

I hate Call of Duty.
Also, the idea that they need to modernize Halo really irritates me. Counter-Strike has been the same game since it released basically but tons of people still play that. A good game is always good, new ideas don't make old good ideas bad all of the sudden.
Happy Birthday Thermite!
that was low...
AWWWWWWWWW SHIIIEETTTTTTTTTT! Thanks, bros! Much love to all of you! <3

So damn true.
Tight jeans is one thing, but far more offensive to me are the v-neck shirts with the v rapidly dipping to belly button territory.

You should have to stand on the cap spot for a good .15-25 of a second before the cap counts. I'm tired of guys grabbing flags jumping out into space and dropping down on their flag and getting the cap while I just blained him but the cap still counted. Just a really fast bar fill up while on it to count it. Obviously I'm talking abouit Zealot here.
Or that should be an option.

I'm sorry, that is increasing the skill gap. Motion denied.
Or not make a retarded space area.
Yeah I've played it in my mind, it's pretty terribadz

Happy birthday Mr. Thermight

It could be a "move at normal speed w/flag" armor modification.

thats what will sale
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Reach only sell on par with 3 at launch and have a slower sales rate over time compared to 3 despite having a larger install base?
Does Call of Duty do that? No? Motion denied.

Good call.
The reason for this is I've seen a ton of caps that should have been stopped by perfect nades or rockets but the timing meant both events occured. The death and the cap. I'd really like just a small small time needed to really run across for a nice CLEAN cap. None of this garbage questionable stuff.
So pathetic that Bungie thought the space area was a good idea. But then again, they were probably playtesting with gentlemen's rules.
Frankie, please tell me you guys test with people who actually abuse exploits.

Anchor 9 does space pretty well in my opinion.

They should hire HaloGAF.
But I'm talking about Zealot.

But I'm talking about Anchor 9...
Even on Anchor 9 the space area doesn't add anything. At best it just slows the game down. It's a gimmick.

But I'm talking about Condemned.
It's maybe the least offensive instance of it, but is it actually better off having an area that requires shield doors (the variant without them is much better, I'll give you that), with ledges that you spawn on and fall to your death from with the slightest movement, with a power weapon rush that involves you basically hanging in the air for ten seconds? I don't know about that. I've seen the variant that I guess MLG was trying out with a bridge to the inner windows that removed the space section altogether, and I think I'd rather play on that.
I keep thinking about this. Too much stuff will slip by in the friendly environment of their playtests, they need to hire 100 assholes to help test the game, they will expose every shitty tactic within a week.

I know people that are retarded, please don't use that word, thanks.

Pretty much this. When I saw the layout for Anchor 9, I had hoped that it would play similarly to the Pit. :/

KyleJ has finally cracked
the secret that Reach has no good map
It was no secret, though.
Because if they wanted the flag carrier to go 100% speed, they'd just set the carrier to run at 100% speed?
xxjuicesxx

Damn, did I ship you the wrong car part or something?
Flag juggling doesn't make you go 100% movement. It makes good players go from 90% to 95% and bad players get tangled up and lose it and die and people get to laugh.

Or I just hold onto the flag and get it back to the other base because we actually planned our assault and I just sneak it right the fuck out instead of watching someone throw it and miss it over and over again because the host is so laggy that the flag spawns a second after they drop it.
So after the attempt to make it heavy as a brick in 3, they just went "screw physics exploits" and went with the cooldown. And then gave you the option to turn the exploit back on for customs. I don't see the problem here.

NFL dudes always get early access... I remember Frank (pretty sure it was Frank, might have been Luke) doing a writeup of NFL guys playing the Heroic Map Pack early.
Yes!!! And please just be 3 seconds from a non-vanilla classic gametype, I wouldn't want a proper look at Halo 4 multiplayer.

and where is the bulletin
Getting them beta invites ready
This argument again? Juggling is faster but requires skill. It also makes you show up clearly on the map. Not doing it is slow but you remain (relatively) stealthy. If someone can pull off a good flag juggle (and it's not as hard for most people as it apparently is for you) you can get back to your base a lot quicker. And that's very important on small maps as the enemy will spawn close to you. Trying to be stealthy by not juggling isn't very helpful against good players as they probably know where you're going anyway,
