GrayForce Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Just something that popped into my head while I was playing Firefight today. I don't know if you guys have ever really noticed this, or care to notice... but I think it might be nice to see AI in Halo 4 that actually pick up new, better weapons. Like if you're facing off with an Elite that's holding a plasma pistol, then you run into a room filled with shotguns... don't you kind of expect the Elite to grab a shotgun? Instead he just keeps his plasma pistol and you kill him easily by picking up a shotgun for yourself. So I just thought that it might be nice to see AI that pick up better weapons in the battlefield if they find one available to them. Edit: And yeah, you could argue that the Elites wouldn't be allowed to use, say, a sword because of their rank... but if you hand a Marine (who is generally Private - Sergeant in rank) a rocket launcher, nobody complains right?

Mr Biggles Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 is it because elites don't have enough brain power to know how to change weapons and pick them up, so as such, they only keep the ones. i think they should get harder in rank with different weapons low elites = plasma pistol high elites = Rocket Launchers/Snipers.

GrayForce Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 is it because elites don't have enough brain power to know how to change weapons and pick them up, so as such, they only keep the ones. i think they should get harder in rank with different weapons They would still get stronger weapons with higher rank... but if an Elite with, say, a plasma rifle has his entire team wiped out and his leader used a sword, don't you think he'd go grab the sword if it raised his survival chances? Also, Elites are intelligent. Haven't you played Halo 3 and listened to them talk? Grunts are the ones that are dopey, and I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to not drop their plasma pistols... but still, I think AI (Elites, Brutes, etc.) should have the ability to change their weapons. Now granted, I don't know what the main enemies will be in Halo 4... but if they're intelligent, they should have this feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Just because u can talk doesn't mean you are intelligent. i agree with you, and maybe i phrased my idea wrong, basically depending on how difficult the elite is, shows what weapon he should have. it'd be weird seeing a low ranking elite using a launcher. i agree with your idea, but it should be tested first, and then see how that goes.

One Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Maybe they could implement this for legendary difficulty just to troll and add more of a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torint Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 The ability for hostile AI's to pick up weapons should be a skull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt S-501 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 No. With The Covenants honor they would rather die than touch a fully loaded UNSC gun at their feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraverKING514 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 is it because elites don't have enough brain power to know how to change weapons and pick them up, so as such, they only keep the ones. i think they should get harder in rank with different weapons low elites = plasma pistol high elites = Rocket Launchers/Snipers. Its really just the AI system. To cause a that reaction reqire A LOT of computer power, of which cannot be stored on a disk, not with current tech.

BraverKING514 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 It says that the elites made the energy sword by reverse enginering Forerunner tech. That takesa lot of smarts. Elites are intelligent, brutes? not so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D33p Ch1ll Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 You guys do realize Elites don't carry plazma pistols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportan Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 You guys do realize Elites don't carry plazma pistols Halo 2. First level. Dual plaSma pistols. True story. He meant it hypothetically too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportan Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Halo 2. First level. Dual plaSma pistols. True story. He meant it hypothetically too. Also in the books they carry them as sidearms all the time. And some minors use them as main weapons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Tyrael Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think it will be a good challenge like in firefight the heretics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean PHD Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 In firefight Arcade Rockets the elites use human weapons. Shotguns grenade launchers snipers and dmrs. I think that it should be a skull you turn on. Maybe with the skull every enemy has a more powerful weapon than they would without the skull on.
