New Armor Ablility Sudjestions

[VizeReZ]

figured id make this for ideas 343 could read for new ideas on armor abilities. try to give them a full set of working ideas, and no how to fix reach's armor abilities. but anywho i think i have a few cool ideas.

 

Jackel shield gauntlet

i would like to see an armor ability to carry a jackal's sheild. would be activiated by tapping the armor ability button, then out infront of you. crouching would provide maxinum cover, and you should probably have your aiming abilites minimalized because youd be shooting through the side hole. and the shield should be able to stay up for a while (30 seconds) have a recharge thats longer (45 seconds- 1 minute), but also if you get shot or take an explosion that the shield blocked, the shield takes the damage and widdles away the duration timer.

 

Recharge field

instead of being an EMP, it would recharge things around it in a charging blast of energy. If an ally has a shield down, itll recharge it. if an energy sword is looking a little low, recharge it. also it could work on enemies who are close enough. maybe itd have smaller effects on your shields or something, but it should work well if you are being a team player. recharge field shouldnt be super large, or to tiny. but it should take a long time to recharge (1min-1:30min) since itd be useful but over powered if every 10 seconds someone recharges.

 

Repair drones

A drone would be collapse from a backpack, and fix vehicles. theyd only have the ability to possibly fix wounded vehicles. no race discrimination, if in campaign, should be able to fix all vehicles. they probably shouldnt be able to resurect a fallen warthog, but taking the fire off would be nice. should be able to be shot down easily. long recharge (1-1:30minutes)

Well this is a fan-made forum so nobody from 343 industries is gonna see it probably. I for one think that this thread brings up a really good point however. I believe that the idea of an AA that repairs vehicles would be a very cool idea and gameplay mechanic.

 

Only problem I can see however is that People would be using it to get large killstreaks in banshees and tanks. Perhaps it could take a very long time.

 

Furthermore the idea for the Jackle's shield is rendered kind of void by the presence of a confirmed new armor ability called Hardlight shield.

 

 

In regards to the Recharging field I must say that I believe it would be very Overpowered. A group of 2-3 people could use it in timed intervals to be nearly invincible. Maybe if it worked like the drop shield in Halo Reach it could potentially work.

found out about the shield that they already have..... they poop, stronger then jackel gauntlets, but not as much fun.

 

true about them probably never checking. but im a dreamer. also true about what you said sweatybagels, but i figured theyd tweak the ideas to make them work

The visor mode from ODST just so we can have it, it's my favorite night vision in any game.

@ SweatyBagels: Not necessarily, they could just have them function very differently. Like have the jackel sheild not be an armor ability just have so you can use it with side arms, and the hard like looks to be industrucible which the jackel sheild is not

Just a thought. Why have a jackle's shield as an AA. That sort of thing seems like it would be more suited as a weapon. It could be tweaked to work. Sprinting would cause the player to be more vulnurable to attack. Standing would have some protection and crouching would work best. (as the OP stated)

 

There's no reason to have two shield type Armor Abilities though.

 

Look in the spoiler too for a possible laugh.

The drones kinda remind me of that one thing from star wars battlefront that could repair vehicles

The Recharge Field sounds pretty interesting. Like having just one more blow for your sword, or Railgun, or whatever, and then AA and its like NEW!. But it sounds kinda OP :C
