Not that I want Fire Fight to be easier or anything of that matter, it just would have been cool have throw down a bubble-shield and have all of your buddies rush in just to provide some brief protection from the onslaught of covenant.
Or to throw a power drain and take out a group of covenant with a single frag grenade.
Just thought the more possibilities, the better?
While more possibilities might lead to an increased number of tactical decisions and lead to better gameplay, ODST's core design scheme seems to be to make you less powerful so that you would consider using other options that you wouldn't normally consider had you shields, super strength, and powerful equipment, for one.
For example, before in Halo 3 the deployment of a brute bubble shield may not have been that significant an event for you, the player, who could have deployed his own at any time considering how common bubble shields are. Now in ODST, that bubble shield is now a precious commodity of ultimate protection if you dare to try to remove the now devistating brute from it, encouraging the use of tactics that you might not otherwise resort to.
