Okay, i know its been said before, but 343 you REALLY need to see this. The proposed feature is Forgable ODST/Supply Drop Pods. There would be an ODST Drop Pod that when being placed, shows a small grid box around it. This box prevents you from forging intruding structures that would disrupt the Pod. When placed, its doors are open, showing the inside of the Pod. In player form, you enter the pod as you would any other vehicle. When inside, you are in first person. You can see your arms and feet. You can also look around. When you press right trigger, the Pod drops downward. This MIGHT be a good time to have it so that when you press right trigger, it also makes it third person. But i’d prefer first person.
You can be hit by fire and potentially destroyed, but you can use the left stick to control your decent . When you press left trigger, your chute opens and you slow down. When you land, you need to have opened the chute, or you will explode on impact. If the chute has opened and you land on a suitable solid surface (also slightly phasing itself into the surface), you can exit the pod as if it were a vehicle, making the door pop off with a small bang. This vehicle is one passenger and has no weapons, and when you land, it cannot be accessed or used again.
The other drop pod is a supply drop pod, much like the ones in halo 2/3. Unlike those ones, this one is bigger and easier to put things in. Once placed (similarly to ODST Drop Pod), it can have a weapon or ammo placed in it, then when you walk around to the back of it, you hold the action button (enter vehicle, reload, activate, take weapon etc.) and it will shoot of down very fast and land without need for a chute. When it lands, it slightly phases itself into the surface and people can access its supplies.
This latter Drop Pod may not be possible and if so, at least get the ODST one… THE PEOPLE WANT IT!!! No, NEED it…
How many times have you gone into a forge map with Drop Pods and had the two barricades just break away, you die, sometimes the overshield doesn’t work or spawn, and you just facepalm? This would be the best.
Thank you.
EDIT: Also, if you hit too much of a slope (e.g steer into a wall), it will do some damage and ricochet rather loudly, like buck’s pod in Halo 3: ODST.
