Subject: Halo 4 Armor Effects!

Am I the only one that thinks that the first 2 armor effects sort of ruin the mature fighting in Halo Reach? When they die, they explode with confetti, what would an Elite think. Or the Heart Attack one, they have hearts flying around them, It just doesn't look right to me. The last two are fine, and so are both flames. But I think for Halo 4, we're going to need new ones (excluding flames, and maybe last 2 effects because they're BA)

So, my first idea is (Don't hate because of the names):
Scorching Aftermath
Your armor would be smoking and have little embers on it in several places.

Ancient Acid
This would be similar to the Pestilence, but better. You're body would be covered thinly by acid that leaks off your armor. Since the acid is so hot, it causes smoke on your armor. When you die, It spews everywhere (doesn't cause damage)

Blackhole
You aren't actually invisible like a blackhole. Black and purple ominous clouds of shadows swirl around your Spartan. Your Spartan is still clearly visible although. When you die, The shadows move inward then quickly blast outward in all directions about 10 feet.

Overgrown
This just causes your Spartan to have vines wrapped around his body and have moss like substances growing on his armor.

Water Hazard
This creates a thin veil of water that swirls around your Spartan's body. It would occasionly drop a couple droplets of water (like Ancient Acid does). When you die, the water simply falls to the floor around your dead body.

So, tell me if you like any of these, or comment if you only like a couple or if you have any other ideas.

I think the Effects for Halo 4 have to be more threatening when you see someone with it. The effects should be more BA as well, making you think you're awesome and when other people see you, they'll think your Spartan looks awesome, as well as threatening.

Nah. I never really used 'em, and the whole AE idea just doesn't seem "Haloish".

Oh I got a new one, kinda dumb though.

Halo
The original Halo from CE swirls around your spartan's head. On the inside, you can see the features that were on the land (mountains, etc.). When you die, the Halo falls to the ground and lands in or under your hand (based on how you fall).

"Where ere thou hast been, here or in yon world manifest? Canst thou tell what is, or what was, or what is to come? No thing shall last. Yet there are some things that will never change. History is written in blood, yet are battles really lost on the battlefield? Canst thou tell me where thou comest, and where thou goest, and what is, or what was, or what will be? For everything remains, AS IT NEVER WAS."

Some of those actually seem pretty cool. I'd love the vines one, to be honest.

Yeah that's one of my favs out of the ones I said, behind Blackhole and Scorching Aftermath. I think those would look awesome.

I'd definitely have the Scorching Aftermath one, that sounds pretty awesome.

My name is Legion, for we are many.

True, but the Armor Effects idea not only forces the player to go near bankrupt to buy the whole collection, the concept as a whole doesn't fit in with the mature setting.

I did. And on 343i Forums.

  • 06.15.2011 9:24 AM PDT

It's also on the Halo Reach forums, please comment on there if you can because it's almost at 50 comments. We need better armor effects for Halo 4.

And hopefully it doesn't take 12 episodes to turn it on .

I love all the armor effects especially while i have blue flames go bungie day! but the thing is about them the ultimite thing they could do with them is let us create our own on the game or on an app or something.

I hate them. They were an excuse for more money.

They should only be there for firefight purposes or something.
