Halo 4 armor ability ideas

Games Other Halo
1

I know many hate the armor abilities, but how about ones that are actually useful? I have talked with friends and this is what we came up with:
Two types: persistent and temporary

temporary

Power Lock- the final product of armor lock. not only does it do what it previously did, but use it at high altitudes to shield legs, negating falling damage and even hurting unsuspecting vehicles(you can’t control fall and fall straight). when vehicle hits active power lock, it gets stunned.

Active Camo- taken straight from halo 2 campaign(heroic difficulty), but moving at full speed betrays you to the motion tracker.

Bubble Shield- 75% of drop shield duration. invulnerable

Hologram- holograms now attract the auto aim and make targeting riticle turn red. can be spawned in crouching form, and will go to destination. turning and jumping as needed.

Jet Pack- same as before, but press button for jump pack feature, convenient for fast transport.

(forgot to add) Acceleration- hold to sprint very fast, and press to evade.

persistent

maneuvering thrusters- able to control fall more, slightly less fall speed resulting in less falling damage. can board no matter the relative movement of vehicle to you. vehicle boosting the other way? no matter!

heavy lifting- anything that slows you down, from cores to flags to HMG’s, will no longer. Double the max ammo (for heavy weapons) and grenade capacity.

gunslinger- can punch while dual wielding. switch weapons faster, and store both weapons in dual wield when changing weapons. able to pick up energy sword in left hand as a dual-wielding weapon.

SPI Armor- armor color and pattern changes to blend in more with surroundings. outlined at a distance for friendlies only.(recognition purposes)

any opinions or ideas? post them.

I don’t think many people would agree with you on those. Some of them are very similar to what we already have and do pretty much the same thing, I’ll have to say no.

Armor abilities

  • Cloak like the Halo 2 Arbiter cloak and gives off a red dot if you’re moving too fast

  • Armor lock that can’t be activated when shields are down and can be activated in midair

  • Can have maximum of two holograms and give red reticles

  • You’re a Spartan, sprint should be faster and you can crash through walls

  • Like in Warhammer 40k Space Marine, you should be able to come crashing down on your enemies with the jet-pack by choosing your landing zone

  • You should be able to evade into cover and out the way of vehicles easier using a sort of auto-aim system

  • Drop Bubble should last longer

Like your ideas about the persistent armor abilities though, as long as you can have them while having temporary armor abilities.

I dont want armor abilities to be honest…it took the fun out of halo…i dont mind if they bring back the invis and the overshield from halo 1-3 but nothing else…if people realy want the abilities then 343 make a game type for them

Anyone here actually realise this is a troll? This is blindingly obvious. He is making up limited worse versions of the AAs in Reach.

I’m going to say no on this one…
