Subject: NEW POWER-UPS! Who has an original idea for a new power-up?

I was recently reading an article at IGN.com, one in which the author briefly mentioned the possibility of new power-ups in Halo 2. This got me thinking, what would be some good power-ups that were not in Halo (1)?

[color=yellow]What would you name these new power-ups, and what would there purposes be? Any ideas?[/color]

Here is my idea:

SPY CLOAK

This power-up would allow one to look as if they were their opponent. For example, imagine playing in a game with a team of blue Spartans and a team of red Elites. If you were on the blue Spartans team and you got a spy cloak, you would appear as if you were apart of the red Elites team. Blue team would tell you apart from red team by a flashing indicator over your head, and the only way the red team would be able to tell that you were the enemy is by your radar signature... you would still show up as an enemy on their radar.

nice idea. but....i don't need any new power ups. i barely use them and they are all i need at the most.

Yea, I guess that would be another indicator that you had a spy cloak. Do you guys have any other ideas for power-ups? I know, I know, we don't need power-ups to be good, but what would you find interesting? I know you guys have thought of something:)

Obviously, the flaming ninja powerup. It's a dead cert.

How about a super ugly power up which when you picked up master chief developed warts and had a goofie mouth and people were paralised with fear when they saw you out of sheer ugliness.

lol. maybe a powerup where you could make your bullets, needles, plasma bolts, etc. go way faster, like unload a battle rifle within a couple of seconds. i think that would rock

i was just thinking that since the active camoflauge isn't very effective in games with radar, there could be a cloak that erases your radar signature. of course, you would remain visible. point being, in a game where people are counting on the radar for valuable information, a radar cloak would be extremely useful.

fast shield recharge power-up

auto-tracking power-up: You know how your reticle follows a target to some degree if its red? Make it follow it even more, a heavier lock

The medusa's touch power-up would be cool. Like for 30 seconds, anyone who looked at you died instantly!

I hope there arent so many power ups that it gets like any of the Unreal Games (man I hate those). I think the spy cloak is good, and I like the radar eraser thing, but nothing like higher jumping, or faster running thing. That would be too "Unreal"ish.

How about the 'Blow off the body parts powerup'?

It would have absolutely no affect on how much damage is inflicted but it would tear the bodypart off that you killed them with. It would just make a kill look SOOOO much more gruesome

For example, you snipe someone in the head killing them instantly. Instead of them just falling down, their head gets shot clean off! The body falls to the ground and blood spurts out for a little while.

Another is, you rocket an opponant, killing him instantly. Instead of him flying high in the air in one piece, he gets blown to piece and arms, legs and torsos go in different directions.

Or how about, you shotgun someones shield off and then finish him off with one last shot in the stomach. His stomach gets a large hole in it where the body continues to bleed from for a couple of seconds.

Also a powerup that will make you do a little victory celebration after every kill (randomly selected from around 6) where you do a cool laugh or something (like the Elites do).

Spartan....no. That sounds dumb for the type of game Halo is.

a power up that reveals what your closest enemy sees for 5 seconds

How about a power-up that shrinks you. It can either shrink you to where no one can see you (great for intel on the enemy base guards), or shrink you to the point that you are really hard to aim at.

How bout a power-up that puts red arrows above the heads of all your enemies for two solid minutes?

Hikaru 119 I'm not trying to insult the greatness of Halo. Its a FANTASTIC game and the sequel is going to be MASSIVE.

But think in the longrun. EVENTUALLY Halo 2 MAY get a little tiredsome like Halo KINDA has. My suggestion (read my earlier post if you already haven't) would give that little bit more fun (and crazieness) to an already GREAT game.

How about a powerup that gives you a sneaky peak at the inside of the base, for like 5 seconds. So you can see what 'surprises' are in store

We are here to dream. Everyone has their own opinions. I just go by the precedents and overall feel of the game. And no Halo has not gotten boring, even for me. Hell I've played it since it first came out and I am still yet to get bored by its feel.

------YOU CAN'T TAKE A GIRL TO THE LIBRARY!------

one that turns you into the flag, the enemy carries you back to their base then you change back and own them.

I think that maybe we should have a power up from human design such as muscle enhancers of some description that enable you to easily kill an enemy by melee attacking them for a short time. Or you could have performance enhancers that enable you to run slightly faster and jumo slightly higher giving you a bit more of an advantage in the battle field

How about Start Power like they had in Mario! With the same music and everything! A moment of invincibility!
I am Just Kidding by the way!

In marathon they had a power-up where you field of vision grew and you could see 180 degrees! All the way from your right to your left! It was pretty nice power-up I wouldn't mind using!

Camoflouge. Not invisble though kind of like the human version. It would just be like a cameleon. The color of your Mjlonir armor would change accordingly to your surroundings.
