I think a buble shield would help way more, than the night vision thing in a middle of a battle :/,
What do you think is better?

Good day. I'm an active and fairly enthusiastic member of the Bungie fan-base and pride myself on many qualities. If you want to send me a PM, go right ahead. No I won't spam your inbox with group invites, I will respond in the best way possible. Thank you, and as I had opened, I'll close - good day.

well since the firefight maps have night time versions the night vision is really necessary

but they could have put it on the d-pad

Royale with Cheese

It makes the game more interesting when your enemies are the ones throwing down the bubble shields. Other equipment, like the Regenerator, will only really help the Brutes.

If you mess with the kings queens you better watch your ace jack

You would make a wall of bubble shields and health regens......it would be mad lame

I thinks it's good that they took equipment away it'll make it more like a challenge.

As Bungie Lead Producer said: "Halo ODST requires tactics to play"
Which could be translate to "Halo ODST requires skill to play"

equipment are making life too much easier.

"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give EL1TE SUPR3MACY lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

I don't think Bungie ever gave an official explanation as to why ODST can't use equipment. You'd think they would know how to throw a Trip Mine, considering that the Trip Mine is UNSC technology.

The Covenant might have just started to use their equipment now? The UNSC has little information on how the Covenant equipment work? Perhaps these ODST haven't been trained to use equipment yet? Who can really say what's going on?!
