Ok so Ive had a few idea threads floating around here in the Halo: Reach forum. The most recent being the idea of an Adrenaline pick up that would change characteristics of your character for a brief period of time.. Which got me thinking..

What if there were Spartan/Elite power ups that we could use throughout the campaign and multiplayer. This would be different from equipment in that they would effect specific parts of the characters abilities/traits for periods of time that would follow the character. Once you see what Im talking about it would also be clear how they are different than OS and Camo.

A few ideas:

Starting with the one I already mentioned:

Campaign:
S - denotes Spartan only pick up
E - denotes Elite only pick up
S/E - both can pick up
(In multiplayer, either would be able to pick up)

All only last for a brief period of time (15-20s)

Adrenaline (S/E) - Speed (2x), Jumping Ability (2x), Melee Power (2x)
Dead Eye (S) - Easier head lock-on with weapons, within red reticule range
Heavy Lifters (S) - Sort of like anti-grav boots - allows multiple high jumps
Multi-Shot (E) - Increases rate of fire 2x
Fire-Power (S/E) - Allows you to shoot through ammo without reloading
Power Throw (S) - Grenade throwing ability/Sticking accuracy increased
Suicide Bomb (E) - Allows you to blow yourself up and take out multiple enemies when within close proximity.
Eagle Eye (S) - All scope power increased
Lights Out (E) - On darker levels, a VISR/Nightvision mode appears. Easier visibility at night
Weapon Specialist (S/E) - Can carry 3 weapons at any time (cycle through- lasts longer)
Grenade Specialist (S) - Allows 4 grenades of each type to be carried (lasts longer)

I will update the list as more ideas are posted!

I love the concept! It would make more people want to be elites. I don't see many elites in MP.

Btw - polls on bungie.net mean absolutely nothing, so please don't use them to try and prove some kind of point.

go play borderlands RN its RPGFPS game lots of fun. its like fallout 3 but doesnt take as long but also not quite as in depth but close. I think its made by people that do call of duty because its basically that on an alien planet. You can increase your skills in different weapon classes so basically specialize in what you like. I want halo to do stuff like what you suggest, but I don't think its going to be like that.

Yeah but it could be

I guess they could both pick them up.. but serpate power ups (but balanced) would make it more fun to play as each character.

At least in campaign like we have the invincibility, auto-turret, carryable camo, etc..

I don't think these ideas would integrate into Halo very well. Maybe if this were a different shooter...
