JHCRANE 14 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 http://www.gameranx....footage-at-pax/ Ok guys, I don't know if this has been posted or not but I found this video with some really good insight to Halo 4's Armor Abilities. It is a video of CTF on a new map called Exile. More importantly early in the video you can see where the player is customizing his spartan and we get some great looks at what the new armor abilities are. Thruster pack- "Enables a powerful burst of movement offering the ability to evade or close the gap." This is the replacement for evade in Halo reach. Promeathean Vision- "Allows users to detect enemy signitures thru walls and other hard surfaces." Completly new to the halo series. This is sure to be used alot. Hologram- "Allows users to generate a nearly identical holographic decoy to decieve enemies during combat." Pretty much the same as Halo Reach. Jet Pack- "Allows users limited flight through a vertical lift propulsion system similar to that of EVA resntry packs." Pretty much the same as Halo Reach. Hard-light shield- "Allows users to generate a protective barrier of hard light which stops most small arms fire and some explosives." This takes the place of armor lock and looks very interesting. Active Camouflage- "Allows users to generate a visable effect astonishingly close to invisibility." Pretty much the same as Halo Reach. Sentry Turret- "An automated turret which can be deployed to defend it's user or command a key battlefield checkpoint." Completly new to the Halo series. I like the idea of this. Regen- "Allows users to realese a short-range energy field that heals any nearby spartans." This is a slightly different version of the health regenerator from Halo 3. Instead of it being a piece of equipment is an on point armor abilitly NICE!!!! Watch the video and let me know what you think. I can't wait for this game to get here. P.S. The new Pulse Grenade is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Awesome...from the video, the Jet Pack is not like the one in Reach, it is very short bursts and takes a bit of time to regen. SWhich is good, cuz Jet pack in Reach was OP. I am glad the regeneration field is back from Halo 3. The Sentry turret didnt seem to do much in the video, perhaps they will tweak it. I am very excited for Halo 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonSilths Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 You got a spelling mistake in the Sentry Turret bit of your post lol. Also the Pulse Grenade is like the B Bomb from Starfox and Smash Bros lol. http://www.gameranx....footage-at-pax/ Ok guys, I don't know if this has been posted or not but I found this video with some really good insight to Halo 4's Armor Abilities.

EliteSniper Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I am so excited to see how auto sentry and regenerator field really works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very excited for Halo 4 NO!!!! That is the thruster pack. Jet pack is still in there. Watch the video in the beginning and see what I am talking about. Thruster pack (what you are talking about.) Replaced the evade abilitly. Jet pack is still jet pack.

So my loadout will be......... Sensor- for extended range on your radar sensor AA regen- AA regenerate faster. Active Camo- because it's awesome.

Tallgeese Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 haha yeah...glad you saw i was talking about the Jet Pack lol. I am glad they nerfed it, now it will add to the flow of the matches and not alter the flow anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallgeese did not say that it was the thruster pack. The jet pack has been nerfed a lot so you cant go crazy high like in reach. thats what he was refering to. I could see how you confused his secription with the thruster pack though. They have very similar characteristics, but they have completely different purposes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTz Vplus2 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 This has already been posted. But i'm still looking forward to these abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure they were all thruster packs. However, I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 The jet pack was displayed in the Exile captrue the flag video at the end. I was just referring to the jet pack in general and how it was changed. Either way, the jet pack was nerfed for the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallgeese Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yes it was nerfed, look at the time it takes to recharge in Halo 4, it is 2x as long as the one in Reach, also in the Halo 4 vid, the Jet Pack doesnt last as long as the one in Reach. It really is just a boost in the air which is a nerf from Reach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bashful Brute Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hrmm.... Regent sounds OP. Dont expect it to be in MM too long. It sounds very similar to dropshield and 343 took that out. The others don't sound too bad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Thanks alot. I cant wait to see more about the health regenerator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCRANE 14 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I also heard that regen stops incoming fire. So it is kind of like drop shield meets health regenerator. Which seems op to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Drop shield is still in Halo Reach. It is in BTB. 343i did not remove it. They will not remove regenration field from Halo 4, they may nerf it however. If it truly does stop incoming fire like the drop shield, than it probably can be destroyed when it takes too many hits. I have a feeling that the regenration field will only be able to take so many hits and heal your team in that amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I also heard that regen stops incoming fire. So it is kind of like drop shield meets health regenerator. Which seems op to me. That would be like armor lock if it stops rockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 i just watched a new video on Exile, I'll attach it here in a bit, but a player was indeed using the regen field and it DID NOT stop incoming fire. It essentially acted like the regen field in Halo 3. But they may change a few things so who knows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Drop Shield helped you regen faster anyway, this is just like Drop Shield without the shield. Cool. I think the Drop Shield should have been a grenade. That'd balance it a bit, and let us use something we only see in videos.

Tallgeese Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Haha a deployable drop shield grenade would be interesting lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerretOfAir Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Some sort of drop shield grenade wouldn't happen to have been inspired from the 'Hail Mary' in RvB in any way, would it? As for my thoughts on the armor ability selection, I'm well pleased. Camo looks good, apparently holograms are better this time around as well, and the jet pack (Now more of a jump pack) alteration looks good. My only criticisms would be the length of the dash provided by the thruster pack and not sure why the hardlight shield was put into third-person.

Tallgeese Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 The 3rd person view of Hardlight shield is kinda cool in my opinion. The thruster pack and jet pack I am sure will be altered. I like the fact that the camp no longer has a radar jammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
