Subject: new equipment from the halo books

wouldn't it be cool if you could use some of the equipment mentioned in the halo books. for example the you could use the fury tactical nuke but only in campaign when kelly and fred destroy the covenant ship. you might be able to use c-12 or something like it in multiplayer though. please leave comments and suggestions.

what is a fury tactical nuke

please explain your stuff as not everyone read the books

  • 08.09.2009 9:08 AM PDT

the fury tactical nuke is a nuclear weapon the size of an overinflated football

Microsoft's carelessness was a colossal failure.
They failed to protect Halo 2,
When the great journey is upon us
Their heresy will stay their feet.
And they will be left behind.

I. Want. One.

I think we should be able to use the NOVA bomb...that would be fun.

you are a good translator
Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

A fury would work if it acted like Fallout 3's Mini-Nuke.

that's a good idea

"You know the music - time to dance!"

it is not really important which equipment, it should only give mor tactical elements,

..


mines or airstrike, maybe weapon drop...

Realize that equipment in multiplayer always accomplishes an even local effect for two sides of a conflict, but ideally it can be used in a global sense to gain an advantage.

For example, the power drain destroys the shields of anyone who walks into it, if an ally throws it at the enemy, but the enemy escapes before you can kill him, you can't pursue him without hurting yourself at the same time. Thus you would want to use it in a situation where your opponent can't escape.

Otherwise, the things you guys are suggesting will just end up as weapons.

the fury tactical nuke would accomplish what you are talking about, plus we could use some new "weapon" equipment

another example would be the lotus anti-tank mine to replace the trip mine

True, but realize why they didn't add a mine into the game that is capable of killing tanks in one hit.

I don't know about you, but after several betrayals at the hands of silly team mates, I no longer just throw a trip mine out and hope that a vehicle runs over it. I now carry the tripmine around with me, and treat it as a 5th grenade. While frags, plasmas, fires, and spike grenades do not go through bubble shields, the tripmine is equipment, not a weapon, so it does. Its easy to safely kill a weakened shotgunner hiding behind the walls of a bubble just by jumping and pressing X, or at the very least, killing his shields.

Now, imagine that we have something powerful enough to kill a tank. Now I essentially have a one hit kill weapon that can go through equipment and that can be deployed just before I die. I could run into the flag room, try to kill a defender, but before I die I can kill him instantly in a much quicker way than swapping to rockets and shooting one at my feet.

Thats why we don't have one hit kill mines in multiplayer. If we did have an anti-tank lotus mine, it would need to have 10 seconds to arm, to prevent it's use in infantry situations.

i guess a 10 second arm is fair, so why not

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

A Fury tactical nuke could be the Bomb used in Assault games.

i love that idea

and they should add the lotus anti tank mine, i think its sooo stupid to through a trip mine and not kill any1, whats the point of the mine then? its not a mine, otherwise itd act like a claymore or a bouncing betty in CoD 4 and 5

and throwing a football nuke would be tight, BUT stay with 50 meters and you die. BEAST equipment on Guardian, though
