A way to balance Promethean vision

Games Other Halo
1

Many people that have played the game at E3 and the MLG guys say that Promethean vision is Over Powered.

As the main function of Promethean vision is to stop campers (and this solution will not effect this function) I believe that this is a suitable fix.

Only allow Promethean vision to see people that are not visible on the radar, this means people that are:

  1. Standing still
  2. Crouch walking

This means that people that are moving around(not camping) will not be seen by PV and will only be visible on the radar.

Please leave your thoughts/ ideas.

I don’t think it’s balancing it out. It has to be more drastic.

That’s even worse. They need to shorten the amount of time the player can use it and also lengthen the amount of time it takes to recharge - maybe 30-40 seconds?

I’m not sure if you heard but 343 did hint towards a ability to hide from promethian vision, It was in the developer commentary but they chose not to discuss it at this time.

all I know is that it is WAY too overpowered now…it’s obvious.

it is a VERY COOL IDEA and I’m sure there is a way to implement it w/o overpowering the user and rendering everyone else w/o KILL# X.

MLG players are the best to test these things because they can exploit an advantage given to them…

FIX PV and then let MLG players test again before going GOLD.

I like the OP’s mentioned fix. And I have to add my .2c

The use should be MUCH SHORTER more like a snapshot than a long-term vision. 3 'snapshot’s per energy bar. User’s radar dissapears when depleted and returns when PV recharged.

I hate this! They make an ability and then a counter-ability. If you don’t use the counter-ability then you’re f*cked, if you use it, well you don’t have any other advantages, and if you use the OP promethean vision, you’re OP but at least you have an advantage.

I don’t like comparing Halo and CoD, but i think i heard this before…

I really don’t want to have to use one of my slots for the sole purpose of having to stop Promethean Vision.
