No thanks. Just increases the luck/hard luck factor more than the current equipment does.

This way, you'll end up betraying the team mates that are aware in addition to the unaware team mates you killed with the old tripmine.

No.

Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Honestly, I think equipment was a good idea that was not fully fleshed out before it was implemented. If it was balanced out with the maps and weaponset in mind I think that equipment would fit perfectly, even the ones that we have currently available.

you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible

Equipment is good, but there's always room for improvement and new stuff.

I think most of the equipment already out there would be better off as grenades. Flare for example, would be better of as a simple flash bang. At the moment it serves no purpose other than to blind everyone including the user, which kind of eliminates the point of it to be fair.

Which is why you need to use it wisely.

No.

Agreed, you'd probably end up running into your own trip mine if it was made like that. However, I am in the favour of making the trip mine effective.

Even then, it still affects your vision on screen. At least make a 1 second delay before it goes off, that way you can take cover before it blinds everyone.

If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

Possibilities:
Cut the Bubble Shield in favour of a more balanced Deployable cover; destructable and curved to the point that players can't stand on top of it for jumping purposes.

Refine the Trip Mine. It needs to actually have a threat level proportional to the warning it gives out.

Grav Lift is fine as it is.

Power Drain is also fine.

Replace the regenerator with a "single use" item such as the Invincibility and Cloaking units found on the Halo 3 Campaign. This unit would simply fully heal the player when used unless they were taking damage at the time in which case nothing happens. This also prevents multiple people teamshooting from the confines of a Regen and doesn't have any lasting effects on gameplay.

The Flare could do with a bit of tweaking; maybe a 1 second fuse before activating, thus allowing the player to throw it and get out of the way before they get blinded too.

The Radar Jammer should inflict all motion trackers in range with overwhelming static interference as opposed to randomly generated dots. Also the Flare and Radar Jammer would not be glitched objects allowing a double jump.

If I missed anything let me know and I'll put up what I'd like to see done with it.

Killing time, killng people

i would like a mirror. its essentialy a deployable cover that is silvered and reflects any hit kill attack apart fro melee.
ie fire spartan laser at 45 degree ange, bounces off at 45 degree angle. not reflects straight back, that would be silly.
what about the autoturrets you get in the last mission of halo3/

Personally I think it would work better as a smokeball that creates a smokescreen. That way people don't get retina damage, vision is still blocked, but everyone on the map isn't blinded from their combat.

make the bubble shield smaller (H3 Starry Night trailer), make the trip mine more powerful against vehicles, less effective against infantry.

Seems a little too situational, but if there were certain wall surfaces which reflected Laser blasts I'm sure that lulz could ensue.

People stick themselves right now with Plasma Grenades and Grav Lifts.

It would be hilarious if you could bounce a SpLaser shot around a map.

A special flare that brings up a waypoint on your Team mates HUDs. It could come in handy during CTF or Assault gametypes.

It doesn't blind you unless you deploy it right in front of you, which is stupid, some people forget that even equipment can be deployed with good distance if you arc the trajectory.

And even then, if you activate it right in front of you, you have about 3 seconds to see the pathways and corridors before being blinded, so really it shouldn't be that hard for the user to use this piece of equipment effectively.

Opponents on the other hand, don't suspect it, and often times run into it by accident, which is its purpose, to blind and distract people.
