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.

I think this would be cool to implement. I thought of this after re-reading the Cole Protocol

You, at some point in the game, can call in a bluff ODST drop, where the pods are loaded with FENRIS mini-nukes. The Covenant go to investigate the pods. An elite pries open the door to the pod and sees a timer begin to count down. He curses in the Sangheili language as the pods explode and send bits of Covenant flying about.

Would you guys like to see more gameplay options such as setting traps rather than 100% running and gunning?

Fact 2: European guys are hotter

I guess I can understand if you don't want to make out with guys in the US if they're so ugly, you should just say so though.

Go ahead and suggest other traps.

maybe put a wounded grunt lying there but put an active grenade on him so he will explode as an on coming elite checks him out.

ooo.. like this one movie (forget the name) pull the pin out, and when they examine the grunt, the handle opens up, and BOOM!

Maybe, like in Far Cry 2, have the abiity to put a round in an ammo cache and set it off as a nearby Covenant patrol walks by.

I think even a mini nuke would be far too extremely dangerous.

Plastic explosives? There are many ways to make an IED.

The best part about the time leading up to a game's release is reading all these crazy ideas which you know will never make it in the game.

set traps?
Halo is the first shooter to not use the ability to set traps

Nuclear trip mines

No how about Metal Gear Solid styled traps? Like invisible infared lasers rigged to C4 or pit traps. Also the active camo can be a little bit more.....active. Instead of seeing a figure then you see nothing. Trip mines that can actually be hidden would be a big plus, because right now they are like a ninja with floodlights in their pocket.

EDIT: a FOX-DIE kind of thing that kills all covenant would be unfair, but cool.

A toned down nuke like the mini-nuke in fallout would be reasonable.

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.”

Human Traps:
Air drop of covenant "supply crates" loaded with active trip mines.

Extinguisher: Concussion bomb designed to put out fires by sucking all of the air out of an area of effect. Employed against covenant ground forces without independent air supplies (Brutes, non-jetpack Elites, Jackals, Hunters(?), non ODST UNSC forces.

Covenant Traps:
Plasma Grenade Crate: container full of plasma grenades. Can either be accessed to provide Plasma Grenades, or shot to set them off.

Kulikov, I love the exploding Supply Crate. A poor Grunt goes to grab a fresh plasma pistol and gets blown into next Monday.

Especially if Bungie sets it up so that grenades on the ground chain react to it......

HALO CE chain reactions killed many a Grunt in spectacular style.
