Do you want a Tertiary Equiptment slot?

A Tertiary equiptment slot is a slot used to house anything other than a primary or secondary weapon. Only one item can be placed in this slot and can include anything from a turret to a grav lift. Some items can be stored for later use and others cannot. I have compiled a list of items that could fall into this category.

Mounted Turret: A turret that has been ripped from its stand.

Mobile Turret: A turret that is stored on the players back and is deployed in any desired location. Has limited ammo and cannot be picked up after being deployed.

Sentry Turret: An automated turret like the one from Halo 3’s campaign. Stronger, however, and very effective as a support weapon. Works until destroyed.

Mobile Teleporter: Two telporter nods placed in any two locations the player desires. One sender and one receiver. Easily destroyed. Effective at fast transport but it is a one way trip only.

EMP Blast: A blast that depletes shields and stuns vehicles. Sent out as a blast directed at a target.

Revive Kit: Akin to the Battlefield 3 revive paddles. Used to revive fallen teammates.

Smoke Device: Violently disperses smoke and jams radar.

Gravity Lift: Nuff Said

Bubble Shield: Nuff Said

Tripmine: A more effective and easily hidden version of the H3 trip mine.

Active Camo: A one time use Camo that is stored upon pick up and used when needed.

Overshield: Immediately activated upon pickup and is only depleted by taking damage.

Bandolier: Allows more ammo to be carried for both primary and secondary weapons.

Mortar Pod: Similar to the missle pod, fires mortar rounds directly forward when being carried, but when holding L is setup to arch mortar rounds high into the air.

Mobile Sniper Tower: a small version of the covenant sniper tower used for only one person.

If you have any questions or ideas please feel free to add to the list. I will update as I go.

Just say that you want equipment back.

> Just say that you want equipment back.

Don’t you mean to say loadouts back. Equipment is only specific to the AI’s only. Loadouts affect it all…

So, say you want loadouts with a thirdondary slot for carrying guns but in game play, hit “button” to swap 2 to 3rd or 1st to 3rd or etc.

What I would like to see is 3 equipment slots, use 2 equipments at the same time and a third one resting in the back until you want it.

No no, I dont want to spawn with this equiptment, and I dont simply want equiptment back, I want a consolidated slot for any extra item that you pick up on the map. I, personally, hate loadouts, they break the game. I simply want a slot that can be occupied by something extra, yet not a real weapon. Sorry for the confusion. I also do not want it to be cycled through like weapons.

No, I meant to say equipment because OP described that he’d like to have something that we already had.
Also, 3 equipment slots are really not necessary. It makes the game complicated, which a big part of the community, and me, doesn’t like! Simplicity is what we like.

Which is basically equipment. Except equipment wasn’t really a slot, just a picture showing you what equipment you have.
P.s: Sorry OP if I sound as if I am attacking you. I’m just talking a bit direct at the moment because I am writing my 500 words homework at the moment. Just want to say that so you don’t think I am a jerk. =)

Simplicity is the name of the game. That’s why the tertiary slot is needed. To condense all extra items into one unit. You are missing the point though I think. It is not simply Equiptment. It is abilities, equiptment, support weapons, etc. Im sorry if i am unclear

Oh, now I get what you mean. But lets hope that abilities are not back! Support weapons can be in the second slot in my opinion. After all, it is a weapon. Equipment is the only thing left for the tertiary slot, unless 343i doesn’t add something new.
