Do you think there will or should be equipment such as the bubble shield or power drain in Halo:Reach. It wouldn't necessarily make sense considering equipment was introduced in Halo 3, and Halo: Reach takes place before Halo 1. I just hate it when cool things in older games aren't included in newer ones. This, in a way, would be like not having forge or theater in Halo: Reach to a lesser extent. Equipment is just one of the many things that makes Halo 3 so fun. It is a cool element of gameplay that adds more variety to how the game can flow. Multiplayer maps are also made more interesting with portable grav lifts and trip mines.

I agree.

God, I hope so. Keeps it interesting, pulse-pounding.

I want it back to. It makes things more interesting and original. I don't see many other shooters out there with an equipment system that works as well as Halo 3's, if at all.

In campaign, certainly not, or at least a different set that would have been around during the time. In multiplayer, yes.

I hope they do not include equipment both because it doesn't make sense in the series and because I think equipment harms Halo's gameplay. That being said, I unfortunately think that equipment will be included because it is something of a selling point.

They should keep it but get different ones. Keep the bubble shield, lose everything else and then get some useful thigns, like road side bombs or c4's

No! Just No! And i really mean No!

I didn't mean to say it like that, but I am not good at words, I'll give you some better descriptions

Vehicle only bomb-A bomb is placed and will explode only when a large mass crosses it, Mongoose being the lowest. This would be useful for blocking of key objectives. It won't destroy a Warthog, but will reduce the shields of the people inside drastically and send it flying. Ghosts would be uneffected.

That is my idea, I just said C4 because I didn't want to just say one thing. Maybe some covenent equipment too

equipment is just another dynamic to the gameplay. they should keep it, at least for forge, and customs.

Maybe for the multiplayer. I don't see a point in Halo Reach. I mean they probably had anti-tank mines, and they had those plasma shields, but all the others didn't seem to appear until the Brutes came along with their own gear in Halo 3.

Personally, I feel most of the equipment need retuning. The only ones I liked were the Bubble Shield and Grav Lift. I liked the ideas behind the others, but they seemed a bit off.

"So officer tell me how it feels to be at the wrong end of that barrel?"

equipment should def be in there but they need tweaks.
personally the halo 3 beta equipment was the best.
take the trip mine for example, it had magnatism, and instant activation. also it would kill or destroy a hurt warthog and or send it flying.
it was awsome yet it glowed and beaps and can be shot easily so it cant go just anywere.
now the mine is relativly usless becasue it doesnt kill people and barly scratches vehicles plus it lost its magnatism. making it pretty much useless.
the grave list is a must have and the covenate should use them at one point, ie have elites assult a hold out and scale the wall with grav lifts would be awsome. (also have them melee in mid air)

ya but dont nerf them and make them interesting and usefull

also ure equipment should be displayed on ure person just like weapons nowadays, on the opposite side of ure pistol
list of must have is
bubble shield
trip mine
grav lift (really not in manny maps)
energy drain (just a good area of denial, and takes down those damn banshees really useful if used right)

Its ok, but there wasn't any in Halo CE. Which took place RIGHT after the Fall of reach. It wouldn't fit in right. For campaign anyway.

But, it will most likely contain equipment. The end of Halo 2, the Chief is on the Forerunner ship... Halo 3 BLAM Crashes in a forest and sees a Bubble shield " Oh wai.... that wasn't dere be4 wth?"
