Echo Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I keep looking at videos with promethean vision and I just can't justify it... To me it's just a game killer. Do we know of any counters other than the hologram showing up and the wetwork mod making you only an outline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZB-85 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I think it is totally fair. Then, you can turn it on and see where the campers are. And it also may help like finding snipers. To me it is totally a legit ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halodreamer Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 wrong forum buddy it's weapons and vehicles not Armor Abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 wrong forum buddy it's weapons and vehicles not Armor Abilities. There's not an armor ability forum. I assumed an armor ability used in combat would count as a weapon more than anything else. I think it is totally fair. Then, you can turn it on and see where the campers are. And it also may help like finding snipers. To me it is totally a legit ability. I mean yea, it's good to avoid campers, but you can pretty much scan the whole map. It makes sneaking up on them almost impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hᴜᴍᴘsᴛʏʟᴇs Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I think it's fair because: It only lasts 3 seconds, obviously takes time to recharge It makes you focus on one objective, meaning one enemy. If there is another one coming behind you, all your focus is on the enemy you identified in front of you, leaving your priorities uneven. Numerous ways to counter it It's theoretically just an advanced radar; while definitely beneficial, there are other abilities that are just as useful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarknessX03 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I feel like it's fair enough. Like Humpstyles stated it only lasts for 3 seconds and has to recharge, and there are ways to counter it. It's unknown at the moment whether one of these methods would be the Hologram or not, but it's safe to assume it is. It also doesn't make you invincible. Keep in mind that when you use Promethean Vision, a majority of what you're seeing will be in a linear fashion. Granted, you would be able to turn and see an enemy to the side of you whilst using Promethean Vision, but once again, you only have 3 seconds and in that time most of your attention will be focused on your initial target. So, if someone comes out beside you while you're using Promethean Vision, you're through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezzertle26 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Promethean Vision is equal then or less than Radars for Noobs, it goes about the same distance, and the radar can tell below on level or above, So im not really scared about it, i go cross eyed when i play halo, no one has ever assassinated me in reach its call a radar thats how!!!!! now i would be scared if you where hiding which isn't that bad cause it helps flush out power weapon campers, so yeah pretty balanced I feel like it's fair enough.

I am in total agreement with Humpstyles, I think for the reasons he's justified, it is a completely legitement ability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Exactly. It can only see so far. I think it can only see through on wall, but that may just be rumor. Either way, the guy using it is very noticeable. Just shoot him in the face to stop him from seeing you. Humpstyles nailed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 It was extrememly overpowered when they first announced that it would be in halo 4. Now they have fixed it a good amount and I think that it is quite balanced now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VEF214 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 It would only be overpowered if Promeathen Vision 1.) identified what weapon they were holding, 2.) identifed which armor ability they have, and 3.) lasted a lot longer. It's fine as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_Magnus Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 At first I thought it would definitely be OP, but after reading the responses here I feel a lot more optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
