CTF weapons glitch

The CTF Weapons Glitch is a weapon-related glitch present in Halo 3 's Capture The Flag mode. The glitch allows players to carry three weapons at once.

Instructions

 * 1) Obtain the flag, and make sure you have two weapons.
 * 2) Exchange the flag for a weapon. One of the weapons you already had will appear beneath the flag.
 * 3) Exchange the new weapon for the flag. The weapon beneath the flag will also disappear.
 * 4) Drop the flag.

Explanation
Let's say that a hypothetical player does this glitch. This player is carrying an Assault Rifle and a Battle Rifle, and does the glitch on a Needler.

So the player has his Assault Rifle out, and is holding the flag. He trades the flag for a Needler, and drops his Assault Rifle. This is because parts of the game didn't check if he was holding a flag, so the game swapped his Assault Rifle for a Needler.

The player then picks the flag back up, and the dropped Assault Rifle vanishes. This is because the player was picking the Rifle back up; however, some flaw in the process prevented the game from forcing the player to drop their Needler, leaving them with three weapons.

Note: This is one of many Three Weapons glitches.
