Halo Reach (supposedly) might have perks.


Would a Spartan Jet/Jumppack be a cool perk? Maybe a little bit like the one in Section 8, only it has 2x as much fuel per boost? Also, maybe this is just in the campaign.


Hold LB the accelerate into the great beyond... for about 5 seconds.

Being able to fly up to great heights would be an easy way to make a level designer cry.

"Welcome to the Greatest Show Unearthed"

The idea has potential but I wont judge until I see how the game's levels are designed and stuff. It really all depends on how the game is built.

So, as the "you know what" poster mentioned, Halo Reach (supposedly) might have perks.

I'd edit this part out. The forum ninjas aren't stupid.

And no, jetpacks don't exist in the Halo universe and would be extremely hard to balance, as would be perks in multiplayer.

I'm not discussing what the leaked material is, nor will I give links or info about it.


Also, Brute Jumppacks, hello?


Who gives a -blam!- about balance? MLG took Halo 3 as their game already, don't encourage them taking this one.

Touche. Forgot about that.

Believe me, I'm no fan of MLG. But still, I don't want the game to become needlessly easy because somebody who chose a jetpack perk is able to fly up to some spot I can't reach with the oddball and win the game.

It just makes things too complex and difficult to balance to be fair.

READ MY POST BEFORE COMMENTING.

I assumed you were talking about Multiplayer from your MLG comment. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

On the other hand, there is no need to completely lose your cool over a misunderstanding just because somebody disagrees with your idea. It only makes your arguement lose credibillity and makes you look like an impulsive ten year old.

I suggest adopting a civil tone when posting in the future, people take you more seriously that way.

I did, and I do have a civil tone by default, but I cannot stand people who do not read fully through posts.

...

As long as you dont jump higher than with the gravlift. It is very much satisfying deploying a gravlift in the midst of an intens battle where you are about to die. Your "boots" can recharge for every fifth kill or something.

I want this in multiplayer only.
