When you are in the heat of battle in MP on Halo, do you ever have this following occurence?
You are getting killtacular after killtacular but you only have one bar left. Then you are shot or naded by lucky shots from an amateur player. You have to get back to their base again and you lost your momentum and from then on you only get single kills while your pals on your team dominate the field.

This happens so often to me, I was wondering if you can have an amateur run supply for you, like bring you ammo or health packs so you can keep going. People don't have to do this, but mayhaps you can get bots to do this? This won't be unfair because the person carrying the ammo and/or the health pack would not be able to fire and be very vulnerable. If you kill them and/or see where they were heading to, you could root out the camper and also get some bonus ammo and health.

Constructive criticism only please. "This doesn't sound cool" or anything else like that doesn't help in the least.

In a game like Call of Duty it would work because you die so easily. They already made a mod with medics in COD called Total War but in Halo in wouldnt work because its hard enough to kill people already.

I've not necessarially wanted to yell out medic, at least not for myself, but for my marines. But there are medics in Halo 2, so no worries there. They should help out, so all is good if they do. Of course that is campaign mode.

As for run out and find the camper deal. Uh, those getting killtaculars are also those that run around like good Halo players and kill that way. It isn't always a camper. Heck I've never seena camper get a killtacular before yet. *sigh* gonna drop this now.

That sounds like a very good idea but i doubt it will happen

#1 how could you pick up ammo with out giving to yourself.
#2 how could you pick up health with out geting it yourself.
#3 why would you wana support a camper rather then kill the enemy.
#4 If you wanted to give the camper ammo or grenades you just instead run up to him and drop your weapon by picking up something else

it was a good idea and i like it but i dotn think that it will happen

Well then you just get bots to run around doing relay. Of course, they'd have to be fairly sophisticated AI to get to you nicely.

Also, I'm wondering if the Marines on Halo 2 will be smart enough to go and pick up healthpacks for themselves. I realize that most people would want the health packs as backup in case they lose health themselves. Heck I do that often, but now that it <I> seems like </I> MC won't use health packs but only have a super strong shield, I'd like to see the marines live as long as possible to serve as distractions.

Also, about how are you going to pick up a power-up or ammo, I suggest that MC or the bots put away their main weapons and then use their free hands to pick it up.
