Mr. Snazz Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Alright, I am literally jacking this thread from another very reputable website. We are getting more insight about changes since E3 multiplayer built. DominoTheory & Mastrbiggy stated via twitter: Overshield invincibility is gone in newest build, Carbine a tad nerfed, and Pistol has unknown changes. Thruster also goes to 3rd person view as their way of balancing it in the newest build. Promethean vision nerfed. Promethean grenade = Emp field stays for a few seconds. The radius is similar to that of a plasma grenade explosion. PV has longer recharge time and shorter usage time PP DOES stun/disable vehicles I'll update this article if anything else is added. Do note these changes aren't at SDCC, but at the 343i offices. Thanks againDominoTheory & Mastrbiggy -All Credit to the Halo Council 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Got a question... What's the thruster? I've been dark for quite awhile now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snazz Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 The thruster is just as it sounds, a thruster pack on your back. It is not a jet-pack where you can fly into the air 60ft, it is simply something that will give you a like 2 second boost, or something along those lines. It will propel you forward, backward, left or right but not up. So far it seems like it will be a strafing tool rather than a nooby glitch tool.

Archon Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 THAT. Is actually one of the most creative things I've ever heard... It's just like 343i to be awesome... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snazz Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) THAT. Is actually one of the most creative things I've ever heard... It's just like 343i to be awesome... Yep, 343i has honestly took a lot of ideas from Reach and actually developed them. Reach is so awkward for people who have been part of Halo since the original because we are used to a very basic shooter that took lots of skill whereas Reach tried to develop that basic shooter. In the end Reach armor abilities felt like a last second idea rather than actually a well thought out plan, 343i has just made corrections to lots of those things. Examples: Thruster-Packer=skillful jet pack Hardlight Shield=armor lock but you are not invincible (vehicles still splat you, grenades still work on you, assassinations, shot from behind) Edited July 16, 2012 by Sn4zzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Wow... 343i is actually doing a greater job than I original expected them to do... (MY expectations were to fix Halo) which weren't really that high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(MY expectations were to fix Halo) which weren't really that high. That was my idea originally, too. I just wanted the Halo Reach issues to be corrected, Reach had SO MUCH potential but kind of crashed and burned, I still have fun on Reach but once I get Halo 3 back I will probably play that more.

D-Wade Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Then what's the purpose of hardlight shield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Then what's the purpose of hardlight shield? Extra shield... basically an overshield I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Wade Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Extra shield... basically an overshield I think. So it'll be a perk or an actual armor ability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Feux Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 So the thruster pack is the Halo 4 equivalent to evade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 So it'll be a perk or an actual armor ability? Dunno. This is all new to me. You'd have to ask the OP directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Wade Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Dunno. This is all new to me. You'd have to ask the OP directly. If this means no more armor lock then say goodbye to the armor lock noobs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Armor lock noobs? I'd rather have the nade spamming noobs in Team Death match removed. The more rejections you have the better. It proves how many people actually throw Grenades... which is why I only ever play Team Swat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoosterTeethFan Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 were have you all been lol armor lock is gone thruster pack is like evade and hardlightshield is like the jackle shield but no weapon in hand and you move slow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snazz Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 RoosterTeethFan nailed it on the head. Armor Lock is long gone, the shield is an ability, like Promethean Vision, so you pull it up if you are getting shot at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 This consoles all of my worries. Except for the Carbine. Y DEY HAV TA NERF IT? It is my favorite weapon ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuette Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Thruster pack goes into third person? ahh it would be very good machinama wise to be first person, but oh well beggers can't be choosers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatanicBagels Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Good to hear about the carbine getting nerfed. From the videos we have been seeing featuring the carbine it seemed to just annihalate people way too much. Also I would like to say that Thruster Pack isn't really a skillful version of the jetpack. Its the spartans version of evade. As for some of the comments about Hardlight Shield... Yes it is an armor ability not a perk. When you use it it casts a shield made out of hard light (lol) and blocks any incoming projectiles that hit it. We still have basically no clue as to what other things this shield can be used for. I wouldn't be suprised if it can be used to destroy vehicles also. I think it would be fine considering how much more skill it would take than the noobtacular armor lock AA from Halo Reach. Here is a picture for all who don't understand what it is in game. Liked @ the OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snazz Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 The Hard Light shield canNOT destroy vehicles. If you throw it up you WILL get splattered by the vehicle. Yet...a rocket can't get through it and rocket's do more damage than vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
