say you were in a hornet (if there will be hornets in reach) and you hear the beeps from the missle pod locking on (if there will be any) and you can click the left bumper or something and flares pop out of the hornet so the missles are redirected. would this be a good idea for a new feature in reach?

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

I just jump out.

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.”

Chaff is like a cloud of debris that detonates the missile before it impacts the craft.

Flares confuse the guidance system, in the hopes that the missile will lock onto a flare and detonate on the flare.

This would be a neat feature, even better if it disabled auto aim while the flare was on screen.

...It would make more sense if a radar Jammer did it. But nice idea, I'm liking it!

We have Evolved Combat
We have gone to War
We have Finished The Fight
We have Remembered Reach

HALO, the best thing created after the sliced bread.

I agree, to an extent. I think the Missile Pod missiles use thermal tracking. If they did, then it would make more sense that the flare would affect them.

But if the missiles used motion tracking or shape based tracking, then the Radar Jammer would be very useful.

...If they used a thermal heat sensor, then Incendiary grenades should be able to f*** them up too.

"If you push this button. Someone. Somewhere will die.

BUT.

You will, hey wait! Didn't you wanna hear what you'd get first!"

Actually that would be cool. Have someone sit on the side of your hornet with some flame grenades, and block out a few of the shots.
