You can have other AAs as map pick-ups.

Well what would you do? (besides the obvious community opinion regarding adding AL)
How could I possibly make that better? It's perfect.

Needs more armor lock.

  • 02.27.2012 9:05 PM PDT

Needs all armor lock loadouts. with gravity hammer as main and sword as a carry.

Edited OP - if you want AL, all you have to do is put it as a map pick-up.

It's like the dollar store version of the invis power-up. It's makes you invisible, except people can still see you, and everybody knows you're coming because you have not just one, but a cloud of radar blips announcing you lol
It's about as effective as a hologram for pretty much everything except long range sniping. Well, provided you have an HDTV.

There is no excuse for something thinking spawning with half camo is a good idea. The whole concept promotes camping and long, unnecessarily drawn out gameplay.

With the kill-times in this gametype, the sound muffling effect and the radar jamming mean you're pretty much just bait unless you're playing on a BTB map or something. I say in this circumstance, the drawbacks outweigh the benefits, and it will require skill to use effectively, therefore it's a valid option.

I can understand why you would think that.

But to be fair, you probably havent played anyone with a brain. Its very abusable.

honestly, the only AA that should even be considered is sprint.

Holograms are close to useless, though is the best of what you have listed thus far.

120% speed makes sprint kinda ridiculous. Plus I think it feels more halo-ey without AAs that augment movement. I know DS and AC can be abused by teams, but this is an FFA gametype..

Get Active Camo

Get Sniper

Get to corner of the map


Top score

having camo in a FFA is even worse. As is drop shield.

And you are right, sprint with 120% speed is unnecessary.

Holograms or no AAs is the only options acceptable. No AAs would easily be better though.

If you want it to be "Halo", remove all AAs.


Were you just trying to try something new?

I read it. I don't think those issues are as significant in FFA Slayer. Invis maybe, but DS?

Choose Drop shield

Get shotty, hammer, or Sword

you can see where this is going.
