You know when you get the binary rifle, it gives away your position. Well what if when you scope in with any precision weapon you get kicked out of camo, to prevent camo snipers. There’s still close range though, just fix the radar glitch and it shouldn’t be a problem.
i’ve been thinking this too, i think if youre scoped in with a weapon you should become only half cloaked as if you were walking with camo to prevent this abomination of camo snipers and dmr cloak campers.
Sounds fair
Or maybe it runs out faster of you scope in with it.
get rid of promethian vision, camo and jetpacks, then it will be more balanced. Camo shouldn’t be nerfed unless promethian vision is as well
Naw, the Camo’s been nerfed down enough over the years. The idea’s good, but it can backfire.
Jet packs are just jump packs now, pro vision just needs a little less range. There are only 2 aas that are unbalanced, the rest don’t do much to hurt gameplay, but that’s MO correct me if I’m wrong.
camo snipers? can’t handle heat get out of the kitchen. deal with it. call out his location. go take him out. Adapt and grow a sack.
If you tweak camo even more then disable promethean vision when using shotgun/sword/boltshot/hammer.
I like any idea that promotes balance.
But I cringe at any idea that doesn’t sound logical i.e. why would scoping affect camo?
Not hating on you, OP, just stating that some things don’t make no sense.
In defense of camo, the only reason camo sniping is annoying is because it is too easy to get ‘snipe’ weapons i.e. DMR with loadout, and binary / sniper / beam with the ordnance drops
If a map only had ONE power sniper (binary / sniper / beam), and they weren’t available in ordnance, then at any point in the game, you’d only ever have a problem with ONE camo sniper.
That’s not too bad at all.
Annoying, but overpowered? Not really. Honestly, I would prefer a camo like the arbiter had on higher difficulty settings in (halo 2’s) campaign. Fast transition, full invisibility (no movement penalty), fast recharge rate, but small duration. It would allow for very quick and seamless kills, but not for full-game camping. I would definitely enjoy using it much more that way.
Make it a map-only pickup.
Done, 100% balanced.

Spot on, mate
If camo were this way, it’d be less abused as a camping tool. Make camo a quick use AA, designed for quick recon or movement between open area.
There are just so many damn threads about camo-rage that I hope 343i does something to appease the haters, and soon, without making camo completely useless. I’m not for OR against camo. Perhaps making it a powerup on the map is the answer.
A depth of field blur when in camo would suffice. When that is combined with the audio degradation camo would only be effective at close-medium range.
Essentially making sniping near in possible at long range when camo.
Personally I don’t believe camo pick up only is the answer for all playlist settings. It’s fine as a pick up for classic playlists but the Infinity playlists could use some balancing out of the Sniper/DMR + Camo combo.
> get rid of promethian vision, camo and jetpacks, then it will be more balanced. Camo shouldn’t be nerfed unless promethian vision is as well
Prom vision has it’s nerf in the Form of Stealth, Cammo, and Crouching.
As any of those three make you impossible to see through walls
Not a bad idea.
Here’s my solution.
Remove all armor abilities, they don’t belong in Halo.
I still firmly believe that Active Camo belongs as a powerup, alongside Overshield, Damage Boost and Speed Boost.
Im so glad that bungie and 343 saw through the horrors that were having to fight for your camp as a pickup and decided to allow us to camo-snipe and camp whenever we please. Because everyone knows that you should be handed things and not have to earn them.
