I, like many players on this board, hate the current armor abilities in Halo 4. I think they all need to be re-done and replaced with different equipment from other games. I will go over those changes here. Bonus points if you can name all of the games these abilities are from.
-Swiftfoot boots: Players cannot be the target of spells or abilities, and gain haste (players cannot take damage while sprinting, and sprint time is decreased). This will replace sprint as a default trait, and return to an armor ability.
-Roc feather: Players can do a jumping somersault to reach the next highest platform. This will replace jetpack, making it more balanced so that players cannot float in the air anymore.
-Toxic spikes: Players that walk over these become badly poisoned (your energy shield is slowly drained and does not recharge). This will replace autosentry.
-Long jump: Players can spring forward a very long distance. This will replace thruster pack.
-C’mere!: Players can throw a spear with a chain at other players, pulling the opponent toward them and bringing them into melee range. This will be the counter to sprint, and will replace promethean vision.
-Potion of regeneration: For the next 30 seconds, your energy shields regenerate much more quickly. This will replace regeneration field.
-Corner shot: When this armor ability is active, your guns can aim and shoot around corners. This will replace active camo.
-Squid: Black tar is smeared over the HUD of all opponents for 3 seconds. This will replace hologram.
-Destiny bond: When activated, any opponent who kills you will commit suicide. This will replace hardlight shield.
I hope 343 implements these changes in the next title update, because the armor abilities in Halo 4 are very, very bad. If this isn’t fixed, I don’t see myself returning for Halo 5.

I’m completely serious. These would make for some interesting dynamic encounters, and unique combat. All you would have to do is tweak the recharge time for each armor ability. if these abilities work in other games, surely they can work in Halo. Everyone knew that the series needed something new and exciting to keep it from getting stale, but everyone seems to hate armor abilities. So why not this solution? It’s perfect. Every ability has a counter to another ability, so nothing is overpowered.
Another thing to note, these would make the game more truly class-based, which it is currently not. If you had a team of 4, you could have one player set up spikes, another player dragging opponents into the spikes, another player corner shotting opponents from safe cover, and the 4th player setting up squid for distraction, for example.
We all wanted a true class-based shooter anyway. The game has to evolve. It can’t be based around running and gunning forever. we have to level the playing field. it’s not fair that whoever is most accurate with a DMR wins. There has to be tactics involved. If MLG pros constantly destroyed everyone with their superior shooting, then the game wouldn’t be fun. This way anybody can get kills.
But does it make sense?
Potion of regeneration is this the future or is this Hogwarts?
I don’t think you understand what a TU is. It alters what’s all ready there, it doesn’t add completely new things that require models, animations and effects. Not sure where you got the idea that everyone wants a class-based shooter.
By the way, players who are more accurate SHOULD win in a fight between two people using the same gun. I don’t see how that doesn’t make sense to you.

It absolutely makes sense! All we’d have to do is change the themes to make it seem more futuristic.
And no, the more accurate player shouldn’t always win the fight. The game isn’t all about shooting. It’s about tactics. Give the less accurate players a chance. Nobody wants to constantly get 5-shotted over and over by some tryhards.
Another thing to add… Disarm could be a neat armor ability. Like in Arkham City. That could actually work. Send your opponents scrambling for their guns. Or there could be an armor ability that lets you swap weapons with an opponent. “Here, I’ll take your rocket launcher, you can have this magnum!”

The bait is strong my friends but do not surrender. Stand firm. The power of the <mark>TROLL</mark> can only hold out for so long.

It’s not trolling if it’s true. This is only the tip of the iceberg as far as things wrong with this game. Have I mentioned that spartan heads are too small? It makes it impossible to hit those headshots. Either make the spartan heads super big, or increase the bullet magnetism on the DMR.

How in the heck will this work?
Imagine everyone having this ability it will basically be spawn killing without the killing. It would more of spawn dying. Also there would be significantly less killing sprees.

If there’s no score penalty for suicide, it won’t matter. All it does is even out the playing field for lesser skilled players. “Alright, I may die a lot, but you’ll have to respawn with me!” it’s a better way of protecting yourself. Your opponents will have to make the choice of killing you, or letting you live. Previously with armor lock or hardlight shield, you didn’t get a choice. They would just be able to block your shots.

One more thing, what makes them do suicide? Quantum Entanglement?

Haven’t you ever played Pokemon? Do you not know what destiny bond looks like? I imagine the Halo announcer would call out “opponent is trying to take its foe with it!”
