Subject: Are there any AA's that should be seen again in Halo 4?

Reach has AA's that have been complained a lot.
But are there any AA's that really are good (not in the Armor Lock way) and should be seen again as a powerup-type thing?

Here is the list of AA's-
JetPack
Armor Lock
Hologram
Sprint
Evade
Drop Shield
Active Camouflage

Are all of them bad or were some of them very good?

My thoughts which should stay in the series-
Sprint
Drop Shield (No health regeneration)
Actice Camouflage (30 sec powerup)
Hologram

Nuke AAs other than sprint and place them back as pick ups.

It still isn't a Jetpack
It's an EVA Thruster pack which is used to thrust a Spartan forward in space.
It cannot be used in an area with gravity.

The jetpack (or thruster pack) WILL be in Halo 4. Proof? See the trailer.

Sprint should be in Halo 4. Most games have it.

For the last time, it's not a jetpack.
On topic: No more AA's, please..

Sprint. Thrust Pack. Slide. These are 3 abilities that every player has off spawn, no loadouts.

Sprint functions as it did it Reach.

Crouching while Sprinting will cause your Spartan to Slide a short distance.

Thrust pack would give a short burst off upward acceleration after jumping. Pressing A jumps, pressing A while in the air activates a quick burst of Thrust Pack.

All 3 of these abilities drain the same meter. Sprinting would drain it gradually, a Slide is one quarter of the meter and a Thrust Jump is half the meter.

That's perfect.
However the EVA thruster is very weak and cannot be used on a planet.

Chief finds a more powerful Forerunner fuel that allows thrusting in gravity. Problem solved.

I would like this better, but if they did have AAs, increase movement/jump height and put them on the map. Kill sprint.

  • 11.29.2011 1:17 PM PDT

I think the MajorGroove's consept wouldn't get much hate from the community and a base for great map desing.

As sliding makes you smaller you can even slide under a Warthog with enough skill.
As Spartans are very heavy,i guess slide could only be used on a metal surface like chief did on level High Charity in Halo 2.

No AAs should be in Halo 4.

If you think this, be born earlier.

  • 11.29.2011 1:21 PM PDT

Sprint. That's it. Any other AA's would ruin the gameplay.

Frankie said himself it wasn't a jet pack, it was a 0 g navigator which was on MCs back in H2.

Do some research before you post something retarded.

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?

Sprint, only exclusively in some playlists.
That is, some playlists have them, some don't.

some AA's as Halo 3 equipment-style thing would be fine,or would it?
The Sprint/Slide/Thrust Jump idea was great.

I made this thread to sort out the good AA's from reach in order for them being powerups/equipment in Halo 4.
As for now,no-one wants Jetpack,Armor Lock or Evade

I'd like to see Sprint return, but I'm biased towards it. Anything else is a no-no unless it's equipment.

I don't want Armor Abilities in Halo 4 at all.
