Hey guys I made this thread before halo reach came out on the Bungie forums and some of you might recognise this topic. Now that halo reach is already out this is no possibility.

Well what about halo 4?? I saw a video that made me think that this could be possible. This video is a scratched animation from 343 for halo 4.

This video shows that 343 is exploring new ideas.
Well I was thinking about this ability called Quantum tunneling and it just fascinates me. I think this would be an amazing new AA/Pick-up for halo 4, that is if halo 4 even has AA’s. Tell me what you guys think.
Quantum tunneling:
Quantum tunneling refers to the phenomena of a particle’s ability to penetrate energy barriers within electronic structures. The scientific terms for this are Wave-mechanical tunneling, Quantum-mechanical tunneling and the Tunnel effect. The Tunnel Effect is an evanescent wave coupling effect that occurs in the context of quantum mechanics. Particles behave in a manner calculated with Schrödinger’s wave-equations. All waves die away, but according to the laws of physics, the energy in these waves pass on. Wave coupling effects, mathematically equivalent to quantum tunneling mechanics, can occur with Maxwell’s wave-equation (both with light and with microwaves), and with the common non-dispersive wave-equation often applied (for example) to waves on strings and to acoustics.
For these effects to occur there must be a situation where a thin region of “medium type 2” is sandwiched between two regions of “medium type 1”, and the properties of these media have to be such that the wave equation has “traveling-wave” solutions in medium type 1, but “real exponential solutions” (rising and falling) in medium type 2. In optics, medium type 1 might be glass, medium type 2 might be a vacuum. In quantum mechanics, in connection with motion of a particle, medium type 1 is a region of space where the particle’s total energy is greater than its potential energy, medium type 2 is a region of space (known as the “barrier”) where the particle’s total energy is less than its potential energy - for further explanation see the section on “Schrödinger equation - tunneling basics” below.
If conditions are right, amplitude from a traveling wave, incident on medium type 2 from medium type 1, can “leak through” medium type 2 and emerge as a traveling wave in the second region of medium type 1 on the far side. If the second region of medium type 1 is not present, then the traveling wave incident on medium type 2 is totally reflected, although it does penetrate into medium type 2 to some extent. Depending on the wave equation being used, the leaked amplitude is interpreted physically as traveling energy or as a traveling particle, and, numerically, the ratio of the square of the leaked amplitude to the square of the incident amplitude gives the proportion of incident energy transmitted out the far side, or (in the case of the Schrödinger equation) the probability that the particle “tunnels” through the barrier.
Quantum Tunneling AA:
-
- Using this ability atoms can make it possible for objects to pass through other objects. In simpler terms, Spartans can pass through walls/objects.
Animation:
- Your arm will reach out and when you touch an object/wall your hand will become somewhat transparent while your body merges through an object/wall.
Duration:
- 10 seconds
Recharge Meter time:
-
30 seconds
-
If you have 2sec left and its not enough to go through an
object/wall without dying, you must wait 30 seconds for it
to go back up to 10. But 2 seconds would be enough to defend
from a rocket/grenade. They key is timing…
Uses:
-
Bullets will pass through you (Dodge Rockets/grenades)
-
melees will also go through you
-
You can avoid being splattered by vehicles. If timed
right, you will ghost through vehicles -
Pass through walls/objects
Drawback:
-
If the users time is up before passing through other atoms/objects he will either be ejected through the object/wall or possibly be killed (guardians).
-
Cant carry flag/skull while using this AA, will cause you to automatically drop them.
-
Each second that you use this AA you lose 20% shields and in 5 seconds your entire shield is depleted and then for the remaining 5 seconds it depletes your health by 5% (removes 4 health slots)
-
While using this ability you cant shoot or melee(would
be way to overpowered) -
You will be killed if you try to pass through walls that do not have another side.
-
You can pass through the maps barriers but must return before the 10 second timer expires or your AA runs out.
-
Your body takes 3 seconds to adjust from your AA after it runs out or when your done using it each time.
Taking all of that uncertainty into account, the effect of “quantum tunneling” comes into play. Quantum tunneling is when particles will jump from point A to point B without passing though the space inbetween. This is an actual observed effect that has some applications in technology today. It is believed that atoms will sometimes do this to combine and form heavier elements. Back to the main point, singular atoms may do this, but humans are made up of a lot more atoms. This means if quantum tunneling were to take effect, all the atoms in your body would move from one side of the wall to the other without passing through the wall itself.
If you would like to try this, go ahead, just walk into any wall… about a couple of trillion times. One of those trillion times, your atoms are likely to tunnel right through the wall. Unfortunately, the time it would take you to run into a wall that many times would take you billions of years. Anyway, you would be dead after a certain number of intentful hits to the head.
Videos that explain Quantum tunneling:
Gametypes:
- King of the Hill/Territories
Idea by: FlipTaco
Quantum tunneling AA: - Duration : 10
- Recharge Meter Time : 1min
That way, when the hill jumps every 30 seconds, you’re not just phasing through wall after wall to get to every objective.
This is actually very simple if you guys understand, I just want to see what you guys think. Plz no spam, just your honest opinion based on this thread.
