i think that halo needs prone position. as in lying on your stomach and maybe some camo.

how cool would it be to be in something like your spartan armor covered in a ghilly suit crawling around sneaking up on elites (don't start a topic on elites vs brutes please!) then jumping up an smaking them in the back of the head!

please dont start an "OmG C0D fan ALERT!!!!" cose i know that those things are in CoD but they are also in real life and bungie should look at real life things and go awesome-pants on its arse!

No, plain and simple. Crouthing is good enough.

Camo like in camo colors? If so no, Active camo kicks its ass and is a lot better.

not colors but as in a ghilly suit (google). ACTIVE CAMO IS AWESOME! but! you are still visible when standing up and crouching. but if there were long grass and a foresty kind of map (which there hopefully will be) you could have active camo while lying in tall grass then taking someone out with the sniper!

True it would be cool in some ways but it would cause more probs,

For example say they did put prone in, your on a map and see a grenade land in front of you. You would get hit by it with no prob. But with Crouching you can just left you finger off the joystick(if the toggles off) and get out of there.

It would stall you a good 2-3 secs, compared to 1-2 sec with Crouching.

Camoflage mission would be cool. Like what the Spartans did on Sigma Octanus IV in The Fall of Reach.

im sorry but halo is to fast paced for a prone option. i seriously doubt that will ever happen in a fps that bungie controls with halo in the title.

though if you wait 343 induties in there next addition to the halo univrse may have something like this.

So basicly you think Bungie should turn halo into CoD right?

One-word-reply: NO

Longer reply: Spartans have no need for ghilly suits when UNSC has alot more advanced camo-gear, like the SPI-armor used by spartan III's. Prone position would't do much good anyways: Its hard to crawl with a bulky half-ton assault armor while the energy shields make the wearer sort of float (that would drain shields too).

In multiplayer: That would just encourage camping alot more in the grassy forest maps, but would be useless anywhere else. How would the camo-ghilly-suity-thing even work? Would Halo become a class based game? Would everyone spawn with ghillies?

The SPI-armor could still work in campaign only, but i don't think that Bungie copies a CoD4-like creep-your-way-trough-covenant-army mission.

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

Prone? Nah, I don't see much point it in really. All I can really see it doing is helping you camp more easily.

As for camo, maybe camo painted armor. That would be cool. But a ghilly suit? That would just look silly on an eight foot spartan or an Elite if you ask me.
