Speed Boost + Sprint + Thruster Pack + Sword. Or will it be well balanced?
Can you think of any more possible OP combinations?
(Not complaining by the way. Im psyched for Halo 4 :D)

One would think a first post is to make a good impression. Or atleast make some sense. Regardless welcome to the forums.

I agree with that.
OT: OP it does sound like a combination like that could be EXTREMELY dangerous. Thank god you can’t spawn with the sword…

That, or he’s a troll account.
For the OP, I’m sure we’ll see a lot of possible combinations.
The one I’ll fear is what you posted but with over-shield, if you meet him as soon as he picked it up you’re better off trying to run.
I could also see: Camo + Speed Boost/ Extra Damage + Scatter Gun being a huge pain.
Sounds like 343i has a lot of balancing to do 
Thankfully, as they said at E3, they are aware of this fact.
Damage boost + extra grenades specialization. And Jetpack to fly over everyone’s head whilst grenuking them from above.

It’s going to be tough to balance: DMR/BR & PP (Noob combo) + Over Shield or Damage Buff etc 
I have faith though!

Weve already seen some gamelay of the PP and BR together. The tracking on the PP seems to be waaaaaay lower. Youd practically have to walk right into it or point blank it.
Id probably see people do what we had to do with elites on legendary, pepper the shields then go for a headshot.

Sounds like hell
I can’t wait to Rage because of something similar to that .

Didn’t mean to offend you if that is the way you took it, I was just quick to judge there.

You can balance the PP, OS, and Damage Buff quite easily. By making them map pickups.
Loadouts are going to be hell once the OP combos get discovered.

You made me just remember… A charged plasma pistol shot strips overshields right? I’m definitely using PP as my secondary. Now I know my primary loadout.
Carbine, Plasma Pistol, Sticky Grenade, Promethean Vision, Shielding, Ammo Upgrade.
I’ll probably name it ‘Alien’ or something more creative on account of all the alien equipment. Might switch up Ammo upgrade if I find something else more useful…

the PP already has bad tracking from what weve seen. so people have to aim there single shots to drop shields now. so its balanced as a secondary. If it was a map pick up not enough people would go for it. Wich is why i think they went with a weapon unlock system this time. so people use all the weapons more often.
OS and damage buff will be balanced because they are only in infinity slayer and are random in the drops. that seems balanced to me.

OS as a drop has already proven to be OP, by nexy at E3. Very first game, he keeps getting OS as his drop, gets kills with it, unlocks another drop. He got a perfection on his first game.
And its balanced because its only in a few games? WHAT?

proof? from all the MLG footage i saw i only saw one person get OS. And according to the bulletin what comes in the drops are pretty much random and harder to earn the more times you earn a drop.
Is it me or is “OP” the new cool thing to say?
All games have weapons, gadgets and abilities that differ in stats, some are more useful than others.
As long as it’s not game breaking I can deal with it.
From what I’ve read and seen on the web thruster pack gives a delay for using your weapon after you activate the ability
I’m sure 343i will balance things out before launch, maybe they could limit ordnance drops or armour ability use while you have a power weapon.
