Remove the flare. Replace it with a smoke bomb that blocks lines of sight for both parties without causing their eyes to bleed.

How about no equipment because equipment is -blam!-....

don't go back to that place

The Hologram.

Basically the way It works: you throw It and It makes a copy of you that runs forwards and can't be killed because It's just a hologram.

It cannot attack or jump, only run.

You could use It to confuse your enemy and to provide a decoy for your bomb carrier!

''Hell is other people.''

The Magnetiser.

A piece of equipment, that when used, will magnetize a weapon towards you, so you don't have to run all the way towards it. Of course, the Magnetiser will be a really rare piece of equipment, and can't grapple anything more than 24 feet away from you.

(Bonus: The Magnetiser can also throw items at enemies)

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

The Auto-Turret.

It actually works; this time!

Imo, all of the basic functions for a piece of equipment is in halo 3 already, and new ones are just for the sake of a new one.

How bout a deployable mancannon? It wouldnt be much of a stretch to incorporate. Basically just like the forge mancannons but deployable like the gravlift.

Or, a bomb. Just as dangerous as the current bomb. You drop it and have about six seconds to get away. Could be useful if someone is chasing you. Also, if you shoot it, it will expolde immediately. Imagine, some dude is camping in your base. You toss that puppy in and shoot it. No more camper.

Ammo Crate- When deployed, teammates only can collect half the maximum ammo for the specific weapons they currently are holding.

Would be pretty cool.

Always thought the original grenade-type bubble shield would be awesome.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

This sounds like a Covenant Holo Drone. Except they could shoot, and jump, and such... If anything so as not to break gameplay, it would move, shields would flicker, then when they break, the holodrone would turn see-through blue, just like in Halo 2.

1. Nice idea

2. If thats the case, they aught to just increase the power of a tripmine.

I like this idea but i think id like to offer a suggestion. First, bungie designed their equipment to be sorta neutral. I mean, they designed it so that no mater who threw the equipment, either team can potentially benefit. I dont see why both teams shouldnt be able to collect ammo. Another idea, if the equipment were limited to maps with open sky, maybe you could drop a beacon, then the ammo casses would just fall from the sky. Youd have to think before you used it, if you drop it inside a base or something, it wouldnt work.

Im not sure if the former 3d realms would have liked a holoduke ripoff though.

Radar Enhancer - Increases motion tracker range. You would have to stay in the area where you deployed it for it to work and if the enemy is in the area it works for them.
