Subject: Armour Ability Ideas For Halo 4

I feel that if Armour Abilities were removed completely, then the players would be divided. So I thought that instead of removing them, they could be simplified to the basics. These are my ideas:

Sprint: Relatively the same as Reach, but for a slightly shorter time.

Jump Pack: Similar to the jetpack, but it only gives you a short 'burst' of power into the air for a very short time. It has a higher acceleration into the air than jetpack.

Active Camo: It will render the user completely invisible, but only for a short time. There'll be no interference on the radar, but you will still appear on it as usual.

Drop Shield: I'm not to sure about this one, and might just leave it to the above three. It would work in the same way as it does in Reach.


I have left out Armour Lock (I think most people will be happy if it's not in Halo 4), and Hologram (it isn't that useful). Evade may also be included however.

These are just my ideas for what would make most people happy, tell me what you think!

EDIT: I'm mostly refering to Multiplayer, so any reference to canon is irrelevant.

No AAs. For the love of the Forerunners, no -blam-ing AAs.

I don't think the ones I have suggested though would have as much of an effect as they do in Reach, but more like equipment in Halo 3.

I agree, they just need to make better ones, if active camo is not in the next game i will be very very sadface.

Never say you're bored. Never say you're satisfied with the world. Never stop doubting or questioning things. Always wonder. Always think. But always take time to drop your guard, you don't have to be smart all the time.

No AAs

I think that whenever anything at all 'new' is introdued, people will immediatly disclaim it. If there is nothing new introduced, we'd be stuck with the same Halo game forever; it would get boring. Perhaps not armour abilities, but all some people seem to want is a Halo 3 replica. In that case, why not just go and play Halo 3?

yeah exactly. They go on about slowing down gameplay and "get out of jail free cards" and all kinds of other BS... they take it too seriously and it's unnecessary. Halo NEEDS to evolve

Or you could say, *puts on sunglasses*, the Combat Evolves!

...That sounded so much better in my head...
