Competitive "Perks"/Create A "Perk"

Now I know Frankie said they aren’t “Perks” as found on CoD, But come up with a gameplay mechanic which enhances the gameplay whilst still mking it competitive.

Some Ideas

  • Moon Boots (Increases Jump Height for 5 Seconds)
  • X Ray Visor (Can See through walls for 5 Seconds)

I know my examples arent the best and I came up with them in like a minute just for examples but I think the community can come up with some great ones.

I can’t think of anything that I would possibly want in a ranked gametype. And if they are in anything ranked, then they need to be really careful how they implement them. Maybe match players with corresponding perks on the opposite team, or at the very least show what players are using what perks at the start of every match so nothing is left to chance. That kind of chance ruins competitive games

serious edit

> Dude halo 4 is just Call of duty copy! stupid -Yoinking!- sprint just breaks all the maps, and perks just makes the game uneven from the start

Can you prove your claim, good sir?

Yes but 1. I was exaggerating when I said ‘all’ maps and 2. it doesn’t take a genius to understand what I mean without me having to write a 200 word explanation. If you want you can look through my posts in other threads. Also I know sarcasm is hard to pick up on on the internet, but did you even read OP’s post?

No. . . Do you really think that seeing through walls will benefit the game? Think about it. . . can you?

> No. . . Do you really think that seeing through walls will benefit the game? Think about it. . . can you?

It was the purpose of creating an example. read the OP

No thanks dude, not a big fan of this.

Best perk ever invented-
Disabler- Permanently disables all perks in the game.

Best perk ever: A perk that removes other perks from the match so we can play real Halo.

Wow, I didn’t get to read your post because I was writing mine, nevertheless great minds think alike lol.

Yes! and it’s competitive too <3

You seriously think X-Ray vision would enhance competitive play as a perk?

lol

If implemented under the conditions I’ve already posted then I guess I wouldn’t mind some perks/AAs. It would be really cool if they were team-oriented though. For example there could be stuff like the halo 3 equipment but part of your armor, like you can generate a bubble shield or regenerator around you but it renders you immobile and inactive until you cancel it. That way you would have to work together to use them with your team. And I think they should have much longer cooldowns than they did in reach, just so they wouldn’t be used so often.

And yes, I think the game could definitely benefit from these. For one they would really encourage team play again, and they would just be fun to use if they weren’t in a ranked playlist

Yet the single use Bubble shield equipment from Halo 3 would still be far more versatile and superior.

There are ways to balance out abilities. What if they drain your shields while inside, or give it a 2 minute cooldown or something? And also, the matchmaking could be set up to limit the number of a specific perk on each side. just gotta think outside the box

I wasn’t knocking your idea, i did see you explain how you would balance it and that is a fair effort :slight_smile: but even then that would be a step back from Halo 3’s bubble shield would’t it? that was the point i was trying to make, i should of been more clear sorry.

Oh yeah I totally know what you mean. If they were going to add stuff like that why not just make them pickups like halo 3? Because halo 3 isn’t call of duty modern warfare 3 making billions of dollars right now I guess, sad but probably true
