Do you think AA should be back in Halo 5?

Not in loadouts like Reach and 4 but more like map pick-ups like Halo 3. Maybe limited to BTB and Warzone. I think they were lots of fun in the casual gamemodes so what do you guys think?

Map pick-ups sound awesome Lol
I figured the Jetpack was going to be a pick-up back in Reach…oh well.

Yep. Armor abilities don’t ruin the arena gameplay as map pickups.

Just no jetpack or armor lock.

yeah i want all armor abilities and equipment back in game including jet pack [my fav one] and armor lock

As much as hate Armor Lock gets, it was definetly the must fun to use.

I think an official invasion gametype would be nice with the return of AAs as not pickups.

Them being pickups in general, I guess it’s ok. No AL, JP or Camo since Camo should be a powerup.

Tbh, I really want 1 usage equipment back.

The good parts of them pretty much are. Spartan abilities are armor abilities in all but name and the ability to pick up from the map.

What’s wrong with the Spartan Abilities?

No thank you. We’ve been down that road and it’s not very good. It just ends up unbalanced and everyone complains.

Yeah it was, it made for quite a few hilarious moments as well

Spartan abilities are nothing like armor abilities…

Okay, then if we are going to separate what we had in Reach/4 and in Halo 5 then I say no. You all really want PV, Jetpack, camo, regen field, and hardlight shield back? Not to mention armor lock.

Yes yes i do, i loved both the equipment and armor ability

why wouldnt i want them back? Jet pack was fun to blast around the map with, i always used regen field to heal allies and hardlight shield and armor lock could easilly save you in a pinch

I would like to see them return as on map equipment in btb/warzone. Only a certain few and they’d have to have limited usage.

I think some of you understood me wrong, I want them to be single use abilities like the equipments in Halo 3. Let 's say, I pick up Jetpack, I use it to get to a high place then it’s gone and I cannot use it again unless I find another Jetpack ability in the map.

I think unranked playlists shouldn’t be tightly balanced, afterall it’s designed to make relax and have some fun without worrying about you rank. And I don’t think Warzone is very balanced so AA as map pickups wouldn’t hurt the balance alot.

Equipment is ok. AAs, even as pickups though, no.

That makes no sense.

Equipment is one use. AAs are unlimited. What about this is complicated?

The part that you think theyre no good

just have them in campaign and forge then everyones happy and noone can complain of ‘omg unfair/unbalanced’

Which is why AAs could easily be changed to be limited use. What about that is complicated?

Like the Jetpacks in the Worms series? They last a certain amount of flight/fuel, then poof they’re gone - even if you’re still in midair (Shame to be you if that happens heh…)
