Subject: New Power-Ups in Halo 2! What would you like to see?

[color=gold]I posted this in The Underground a long time ago. It was before New Mombasa, and I wanted to know if you guys could come up with some interesting ideas.[/color]


I was recently reading an article at IGN.com, one in which the author briefly mentioned the possibility of new power-ups in Halo 2. This got me thinking, what would be some good power-ups that were not in Halo (1)? What would you name these new power-ups, and what would there purposes be? Any ideas? Put down a name and a brief discription of your new power-up idea/s.


[color=gold]Update:[/color]
[color=red]O.K., we've all had bad experiences with Power-Ups. That doesn't change the fact that they will be in Halo 2! SO, STOP THE COMPLAINTS!!! There is nothing we can do about it:)[/color]

[color=aqua]So, since there WILL be Power-Ups in Halo 2, what would you like to see?[/color]

Subject: New Power-ups Contest!

Here is my idea:

SPY CLOAK

This power-up would allow one to look as if they were their opponent. For example, imagine playing in a game with a team of blue Spartans and a team of red Elites. If you were on the blue Spartans team and you got a spy cloak, you would appear as if you were apart of the red Elites team. Blue team could tell you apart from red the team by your name/icon flashing over your head. The only way the red team would be able to tell that you were the enemy is by your radar signature... you would still show up as an enemy on their radar. They would also be able to tell you were the enemy if they happened to know your gamertag/name... it would appear over your head if they happened to point their gun crosshair at you.

Damage powerups are too lame. Leave that -blam!- for games like Unreal.
I agree with the other dude, the spy cloak thing could be very cool, LOTS of noobs would be like AAAHHH WTF IS GOING ON!? TKER TKER!!!
Muahahahahahaaa

yah, but with the spy cloak, some people might think that they are being betrayed and start killing their OWN team, funny but that would suck If I kept getting betrayed by my ACCTUAL teammate. Yah the damage amp would be too unbalaced, my upmost appoligies (sp, you'd think I'd know by now).

Speed Power up????


Maybe you sprint will just need to recharge after a while.

But hey, how about a slo-mo power up only in campaign, I think that would be sweet. think, your going normal speed, but an elite is moving slower, and his shots can't hit you cuz your too fast, opinion, but I will stick to it.

Nooooo, not bullet time. It is used too much, and it's not halo at all.

not bullet time, a power up, these are only used a couple of times during the whole game, and if you don't like it, don't use it. Really, I just wan't to see an elite fly back 30 feet when I blow him away with the shotgun (this would be cooler in a slower motion). And why not, MC's suit should be able to make him faster (everyone else seems slow), whatever, I think it would be cool a couple times, sorry if we disagree, I just like graphics and stuff.

Honestly, I hate powerups, I wish that if you use a cloak, your health would go down to 1/2 of normal; and if you use overshield, you would have a big pointer over you so everyone would always know exactly where you were.

A motion sensor scrambler. If you have it, you will be wiped out of all motionsensors (a lot of people play with them on, and it's really -blam!- when they know you're coming)

I honestly don't want anymore power ups...while I love them I can't think of anything that would go with the game without cheapening it at all... If they do put more power ups in I would like it but if they are some stupid thing like a powerup that makes all your weapons 3xs more powerful, or something I will be extremly dissapointed...but I know Bungie doesnt work like that so im not worried.

Powerups ruin the multiplayer experience and uneven the playing field. Everyone should have the same opportunities and abilities in multiplayer. However, i do enjoy them in Campaign.

I was going to say motion tracker invisibility but someone got there first. How about increased accuracy with automatic weapons?

i think that a motion tracker invisibility would be very nice.

about power ups: i like them...but...in multiplayer they can suck hardly. so i wish that we'll be able to put them on or off in mp.

Who says power ups must be good? :-) Why not have some bad ones that you want to avoid, like a no shield power up.

yeah, or if they really want powerups, have a 50-50 chance that the powerup will reverse itself...

Eg. instead of overshield, it reverse engineers your shield, taking it off

Instead of active camo, it makes you glow due to the way the light bends incorrectly!

Now that would rock, so not bad powerups, but powerups that glitch, or dont work right,... that would rock, and in my opinion, there would be no way to destinguish good ones from bad ones!

this is realy a GREAT IDEA. i like it. 25% chance to get a bad resoult would be great. 50% is to high. noone would try it.
