Always up for REACH customs!

What if armor pieces in Reach granted special powerups like in a Diablo-type MMORPG game? Post ideas that aren't way too overpowered. You can only wear one powerup armor piece at a time in this hypothetical situation.




Heartbeat Sensor (wrist attachment)
Your motion sensor radius is doubled.
You appear on enemy motion sensors when crouched or standing still.


Lead Fist (right shoulder)
You can hold the melee button for 3 seconds to charge up a melee attack that will kill in one hit with any weapon.
Your melee attacks always strike second in a clash.


Sniper's Scope (left shoulder)
You can 5x and 10x zoom with all weapons, in addition to scopes already available. Bloom increased to 125% at 5x and 150% at 10x.


Armstrong Hydraulics (knees)
Jump height increased to 200%.
Run speed decreased to 80%.


Welder's Kit (chest)
If you are in a damaged vehicle and remain completely still (do not manipulate your Xbox controller) for 45 seconds, the vehicle will repair itself to perfect condition.


Iron Visor (visor)
You are immune to headshots.
Shields and health decreased to 80%.


Deceptive Projector (helmet attachment)
Your energy for Hologram recharges 3 times faster.
You can't use any other Armor Ability except Hologram.


Artillery Pouch (utility add-on)
Frag grenades you throw do not bounce and explode on impact.
You cannot pick up plasma grenades.

Then Reach would be that much more retarded.

Then Reach would suck even more than it does now.

  • 11.14.2011 11:37 AM PDT

all this would do is reward people for playing longer since it is the more you play the more of an advantage you have which doesn't work well when it comes to gameplay.

  • 11.14.2011 11:40 AM PDT

Then it would ruin the simplicity of the Halo universe that we all enjoy. Good thought though, just not the right game for it.

Everybody wants some.

As you mentioned, Diablo is an RPG. Reach is an FPS. Besides, the "brilliant" addition of Armor Abilities to Reach pretty much describes what you're talking about.

A toned down version of this would actually be kind of cool, IF IT WERE ONLY IN CAMPAIGN just like AL and Jetpack should have been.

Harass the harassers.

Keeps you playing,all the way up to mithic,must have enough going for it to keep such a discerning player as yourself from leaving.



Now back to the topic,Visor=infrared,short amount of time,maybe 5 seconds with a 30 second recharge.Call it snake eyes.

->Implying I'm playing for lolcR

Reach barely keeps me interested for more than a few games.

Now I got skyrim.... no reason to pop Reach in anytime soon.

Damn guys don't take this thread so seriously.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Then the game would be much more unbalanced than it is now.

Happiness is a warm gun

How about if armor effects gave special powers?

Heart attack hearts can be collected for health
Pestilance causes dead bodies to rise again in flood form
Grunt birthday party caused all spartans too take off their armor and dance up a storm
and inclement weather caused your enemies visors to fog up

Please no...

The implication was that you have played enough to reach that rank,not that you play for credits.Is there a forum for skyrim?(guess what Im implying)

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

How about hell to the no?

  • 11.14.2011 12:37 PM PDT

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

And it's already pretty bad.
