Subject: New powerup?

Hi! :-D

Hey, I was just wondering if any of you guys have any ideas or suggestions about new powerups that could be in Halo 3. I know it probably wont happen or even be considered but I want to see what your guys' thoughts are. Thanks for posting : )

The Overshield and the Active Camouflage is probably enough. Other things would probably be overpowered.

Well. You have a Powerup to increase Defense.
The Other Makes you harder to see.
What other element could you improve without making it unbalanced?
A Speed powerup wouldn't be very practical to the story or Gameplay.
Maybe a Powerup that made it the player invisible to the Radar and the Crosshair wouldn't turn Red on them regardless of distance or weapon.

If there was a powerup that made people run fast, then they could just get that powerup and run to the other powerups.

They should let you only have one at a time to make more stagety, and i know you will say, what about the team power up, well, then you can't get it if another has something else, so you can say don't get it yet

I think they should take them OUT, I think it takes away from the game realism.

But anyways I think they should add an Increased Auto-Aim, or they could have Power-DOWNS, like Increased Shield Charge Time that you would have to avoid in tight corridors.

Lol, these are funny, thank God your joking.

So then I said, "Wait a minute! That is my sister!"

I dunno I like the melee attack increase. Kinda like something with beserk in Doom awesome for gameplay. If you got this I say you should move slightly faster and can't use guns or pick up flags, balls, or bombs. But do some massive beat down damage. Maybe make your screen go red or if your an elite you get these nasty growl noises. It would be funny and the red would make it difficult to tell where your getting shot from.

Melee being spelled wrong is slightly annoying.......

really the only power up i really see worth useing is the camaflauge. i really could careless for the oversheild as you really dont see it that much plus the times you do theres almost always 1 person that makes it his life to get it. but being invisable is cool because it gives you the ability to do some recon maybe a suprise kill or 2 and your not god to kill for a short time.

I'd rather get rid of the power-ups we already have. I've played too many slayer games where people just fight it out over holding the Overshield area.

Consider this instead:

For certain tactical games, you could enable Stealth systems. Thus pushing down on the D-pad or something similar to that effect could activate stealth camouflage.

It would drain your shield while it was active. Then you could have one of two gametyipe options when your shield runs out, either you can run around invisible without shields for as long as you like... or your stealth lasts only as long as your shield does and shuts down until your shields regenerate. All depends on the gametype.

I don't feel as though any other power ups are really practical to the game... If you want to try to make up some weird story saying when you pick up a blue glowing orb you turn invisible ok... I can let that pass but picking up something that makes you run faster? That doesn't even make any sense... and as someone else said that would be bad because then someone would just run to all the other power ups...

Good gameplay shouldn't be compromised for a little bit of realism. This is a science-fiction game, after all.

I think that power-ups should give you the ability to be more powerful as opposed to just making things that you can already do easier because that just decreases the learning curve in the game.

eh. they are more like upgrades to his suit rather than powerups. unlimited ammo is ridiculous as with most others. just keep what we have.
