Bungie day 2010

Halo's multiplayer has grown significantly since Halo 2 and 3. I wonder what exactly Reach's experience will be. Just how much is bungie giving us multiplayer wise? And will the campaign stand up to it as well?

Also worth noting, Sarge was carrying the flag while using use jetpack and holding a shotgun, so it looks like we will have the option to use weapons while holding the flag. A bad thing I spotted, though, is that the game still resets your direction when you go through a teleporter. Lame.

I wonder how this map fits in Campaign, because that is another Halo. I guess that bland Forerunner wall in the back blocks off how you get into the area during Campaign.

Idk man, that was a pretty ugly animation when he was flying. He was holding the flag like a shotgun and his stance was the stance you are in when you are standing idle. It was a glitch or something.

I'm guessing that 'use weapons while carrying the flag' is a new custom game option, but Bungie just hasn't polished the anims. They're going to get it working a long time before they're going to get it pretty, and it's not like Bungie hasn't shown unfinished/unpolished stuff before. It seems like a bizarre thing to fake, since RvB didn't even use it for a joke or call attention to it. The last time we see Sarge, he's holding a flag like normal, too.
