Customs + Unlimited AA Thruster Packs = Fun!!

So, assuming that 343i are going to allow us the option to switch the unlimited (constant) use of our armor abilities, the possibilities of using that constant use with the thruster packs sounds really fun.
I can already imagine the insane types of game types that are going to spring from this.

Does anyone else feel the same?

Feel free to pour in your customs game types ideas or share some!! Go crazy.

We could have sprinting races (unlimited sprint) with limited Thruster pack to simulate some sort of speed boost ability… we could pick up custom powerups to temporarily increase our Thruster pack xD

As with unlimited they mean not for a constant time but instead unlimited use. but you most likely will be able to change that in forge

Just had the image of the thruster pack shooting you forward in a continuous stream. Can you boost forward? I don’t even know, but it would be awesome for rocket skate racing.

being that this is already the best idea ever, ill think ill ad to it… what if you could use the thruster pack on the mongoose?!

I think we will, or maybe it will be like unlimited evade in Reach :frowning: I hope we can have booster races in 4.

Think about it, you can boost in the air, so we could have races over the water!

this is the reason why jetpacks still exist in the game.

grif ball with infinite thruster pack… i think yes

I second that, that would be awesome. But I don’t think we’ll be able to use aa’s in vehicles. :frowning:

Roman Legionnaires game mode: Each player gets unlimited Hardlight Shield and Energy Sword, battle like it’s 430AD.

100% original do not steal.

OK, if we’re calling game modes, I call Predator -Yoinks!-!

1 Predator (Zombie)- Unlimited Promethean Vision and Sprint, Spartan Laser, Energy Sword (or Promethean Melee if there is one :), Active Camo.

Boom.

We could make a BTB version of that called Spartan Hoplites and make a custom map called Thermopylae.

That could work nicely, I can see Colosseum maps, or even a 2 ship boarding CTF mode.

I agree, all these ideas sound insanely fun.

I could definitely see Spartan/Roman/Gladiator gametypes with the Hardlight Shield on infinite use alone.

It is also possible to have a game where your entire team can form a phalanx with Hardlight Shields and just have a push battle.

Better yet, Zero G basketball.

I think that’s going to be awesome, now with player trait zones and everything. I really do hope that customs get back to the same level of popularity and appeal as it had back in Halo 3.

We should’ve seen trait zones in Reach imo, but to see them in Halo 4 along with all these other improvements to Forge and awesome new custom options, I think our custom games will top Halo 3 and Reach combined. That is, if all these suggestions we are making are possible.
