They will have powerups, it would be unethical to cut them out. Frankie already mentioned powerups in one of the updates, just not which powerups. So there might be some new power ups. w00t!

What kind of new power ups do you think there will be? I'm hoping for one that makes you jump higher or run faster or something of the sort. Maybe there will be a Night Vision power up or an Infra Red power up.

They should make one that makes you give extra damage, or one with infinite ammo.

no nothing too powerful at least with the overshield it constantly decresed but even then it was annoying, especially people who camped near it, fighting people with an almost constant x3 shield just sucks as would super damage dealing opponents

Well, Halo is basicallyl Marathon IV is a lot of respects so let us look at Marathon and the scene of powerups as a look for Bungie inspiration . . .

Well, Marathon had full health, x2 sheilds, x3 shield, and invisibility. Sounds familar ;). Actually, it did have one extra powerup and that was an invincebility (you turned all static looking). I think when you picked that up only energy weapons could hurt you. That'd be a very interesting powerup for Halo. Maybe then ppl would be more likely to carry alien weapons, providing for some more strategic planning. As far as attribute power-ups, I doubt it ;) Grenade hopping is the closest you'll get to jumping higher. If any marathoners are out there (i haven't played MP in years), they may be able to correct me, but i think i recall something that changed all the colors, so enemies showed up like green, and everything else was black. Sorta like a quasi infra red or enemy identification suite.

I think a very interesting thiing from marathon was that many of the health and shield powerups were in the form of terminals. You go up to a thing in the wall, whenever you want, and recharge yourself up! This of course could lead to some interesting situations . . . . My favorite was the one x3 terminal in "Flight of the Toolater" that was in the end of a long hallway. A hallway with a raising floor that would smash the person recharging into the ceiling and kill them if a deviouis player happened to pull a certain switch. O:-) hmmmmmmm.

i'll play as a covenant elite in halo 2 and will specialize in plasma weapons if that dodgy marathon invincibility idea is implemented into the game. (i'm going to be an elite anyway)

A speed powerup would be okay.

Well the powerups have to make since. You cant have Extra damage or anything unless it was like a pack of ammo with high explosive tips like the pistol. I could understand the speed boosts, it could increase the circuit things in your armour and move your legs faster.
