Bungie should make that a single player easter egg, it would be so awesome!

It was thrown down. You don't need a dive or roll if you're losing. 1up said they were doing good enough that they didn't have to activate their X buttons. Which brings me to my next point, you don't activate a dive or roll. Nobody has proposed anything which can fit into the information we have been given other than those of us who say it is the shield device.

i know it would not be the x button thing. i was just saying it would be cool to see MC dive in first person (i think i said that if not oops) but ya i honestly can not think of anything which would change gameplay drasticly. But someting that someone previosuly stated was the hold x to view the map and strategies for your team. But ya...i really can not think of a awesome changing game play activation thing.

i think controls will be almost exactly the same as h2 (using bumpers) with a few changes not much tho

I have been reading what a lot have people have been post about the disarming that makes no sense to me because what would happen if they lost all there guns in halo 2 yur never supposed to not have any guns I dont think bungie would leave you gunless

Left and right sticks: Movement and look. Just like H2.

Click left and right sticks: Crouch and zoom

That'd be so awesome.

Imagine: half a dozen Spartans running around aimlessly as they all randomly explode because someone couldn't keep they're fingers off teh x buT0n.

bubble shield... they havent displayed a button for that yet, so there is your answer.

That's a grenade, so they have displayed the answer. Maybe it's like the Jedi Choke in Starwars Battlefront II.

actually, a grenade makes an explosion, and in the halo 3 multiplayer, they show 3 different grenade types, and the shape of the bubble shields "grenade" is not shaped like either.

Correct. It is not displayed as a grenade on the HUD. It was a long, long time ago, but in recent images, it is not. Only frag, plasma, and spike grenades are shown now. Also, being a standard grenade type would be unbelievably unbalanced. You would be able to pick them up from other people, and could go through a whole game just using those, never getting hit. This is why it is only balanced if used, say, once. Such as a special feature, like the X button. Self-destruct wouldn't help you if you were losing, it would hinder you.

It would slightly help you, it would be amusing while you lose.

That's not something you activate.
