Do you guys here think at some point after Halo 4’s release people might start making a Hardlight Shield Phanlanx in Multiplayer? Where an entire team has Hardlight Shields and a Precision weapon and then they form a square or rectangle, half the team in front then activates their shield and then the other half behind them fires at the enemy and use the Hardlight Shields to protect them unless they use an explosive or goes around.

Then when the first rows shield fails, they go behind the people with the precision weapons and then the people that were shooting activate their shields while the people that was from the first row that went behind when their shield failed fired their weapons with the shields protecting them. Rinse repeat. and then slowly push to the objectives if there is any.

Wasn’t a Phalanx an Ancient Greek formation?

Assault just got a whole lot of fun all of a sudden

Box the bomb carrier and escort him to victory lolol, though a well placed rocket might just stop them

It saw widespread use in the Hellenistic world until the Roman cohort formation replaced it, but it had adaptations in the Medieval period. (eg: scottish spike wall )

I want to see that happen soooo bad.

14

I hope so, this would be awesome.

OH GAWD

Best gametype ever: Medieval Knights!

Everyone spawns with a Sword, Shield, and Hammer. Then they are let loose into the fray!

… Okay maybe not the Hammer since its AoE damage will probably go through the shield, I think. But at least the Sword and Shield. :stuck_out_tongue:

16

That plan wouldnt really work unless you’re on like big team, and even then it would have its flaws. One reason why the phalanx never really made it far was because it was a slow moving force that had weakness on 3 out of 4 ways, The only way to ever improve on that would be to make a perfect square, and then have your allies with weapons behind you, but even then all you would need to do is a well placed granade or rocket or even spartan laser, We still dont know how much damage the hardlight shield can take.

17

The real question is, are their enough players to do this?

18

One problem with your theory the hardlight extends up to high rendering the people behind it usesless

19

You just gave me a custom game idea!
I’m gonna make a custom infection that starts off with 10 or so spartans and 8 zombies.
All of the spartans have infinite AA energy,a hard light shield and slow movement, the zombies have 0 jump height, energy swords and infinite health.
The spartans must make there way across the map by making an impenetrable circle with their shields and moving together so that the zombies can’t infect any of them.

You can melee through the shield, so I guess an Energy Sword will still be an insta-kill.
