Tallgeese Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 So in the Q&A at SDCC, Franky said that there were other armor abilits yet to be revealed. What do some of you think the remaining AA's are? I am pretty sure Active Camo is in Halo 4 so that could be at least one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuko 'Zarhamee Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Is hologram confirmed? I hope they make it not as crappy. It was confirmed and there is gameplay footage of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerpWithAGun Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Looking at Halo 4 now you can already use an armor ability that is mainly used by prometheans: Hardlight Shield. For everyone's sake, I DO HOPE you cannot get an armor ability that lets you teleport like the promethean knight in the campaign gameplay.

But maybe have the speed drop down to 50% for two-three seconds after you do the jump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatanicBagels Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Just as long as there is no jet-pack. Jet-packs destroyed map design and flow in Reach and for no reason would be brought back to Halo 4. I think that a small mini-emp would be kind of cool. You could use your armor ability when a warthog is zooming past you and disable it for a very short time. This would bring back some of the anti-vehicle capabilities of armor lock in a far more skillful form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SykoWolf Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 They should have an armour ability called Shockwave, where the spartan hits the ground and sends out a pulse that knocks players back and destroys there shield, but it also destroys yours. Whatcha Think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssaultSniper1989 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 An interesting ability would be to include an ability to swim or submerge oneself in ponds. I say this for two reasons at the new Ice map I think it's called Longhouse or something?, anyways there looks to be water near what I presume as the center of the map it would be interesting to conceal yourself underwater then hijack a nearby warthog or something. 2nd one of the Preorder skins is called oceanic and the armor depicted looks like some nautical diver out of a submarine. Like this comment if you think it would be interesting for 343 to incorporate water for something other then kill zones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The maps were made so that a Spartan with Sprint could get to most power weapons just as fast as a Jet-Packer. And vice-versa. Most Jet-Packers don't flee as most claim. I am a Jet-Packer myself. The Jet-Pack destroys mobility while air-borne. Fleeing is difficult to do, as anyone can chase you on any map since you have to land. As far as is known, the Jet-Pack is back. But you can rest assured. 343 claims it is more of a boosted jump than a personal plane this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern for map flow wasn't about getting to the power weapons quickly. It was simply that most maps have designated paths that the makers draw the player towards taking. While it always felt like a lot of choices there were relatively few. When they introduced the jetpack there instantly became 25-30 different route possibilities and it made the map flow chaoitic and somewhat non-existent. However this logic can easily apply to all the AA's in Halo Reach which were designed to draw out combat, and therefore slow down map flow. Just my opinion and nothing more.

SykoWolf Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 actualy, i believe the Jet pack was mainly there so players could reach Hard-to-reach area's. It wasnt meant for use in firefights or other combat situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasnt meant for use in firefights or other combat situations. It was meant for anything you could imagine it for. Skipping stairs/elevators, getting overhead an enemy, or even escape.

It wasnt meant for use in firefights or other combat situations. there are not that many "hard to reach areas", it simply that some places take longer to get to on foot. The jet pack was designed to help players change elevation on a map without needing ramps and grav lifts. It is simply an alternate way to change your position on the map, and its not meant for combat situations. It makes players into sitting ducks when they are high in the air with no cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the best way to get over obstacles and very useful in FIrefight in Reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 As far as I knew the Jet-Pack was taken out and integrated along with evade into the Thruster Pack. Which would make sense in regards to the statement of a slight boost, seeing as thruster pack is a boost in a direction. Also, I thought the Sentry turret was a perk, not an AA.

A_L00s3_Scr3w Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Also, I thought the Sentry turret was a perk, not an AA. Yeah, it was just an equipment item. But then you already knew that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallgeese Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 So yeah Sentry Turret is indeed an AA. Here is a link to a site that gives a list and brief description of what is in store for Halo 4: http://www.littleenglishhaloblog.com/2012/06/halo-4-armour-abilities-tactical.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hope the Hardlight shield is good, you could use it like a riot shield to get closer to enemy locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
