Halo 4 Shown names during combat

During playing reach, I’ve come to notice that Camo, and Holograms were COMPLETE failures with the ****ing name hanging above my head, sure you can change setting for it to be hidden but its just ridiculous, and will be a problem in H4 too most likely, so I’d like everyone’s idea on how to combat this, I’m going to sleep so I’ll read comments tomorrow

Camo, looking anywhere in map see name pop up you’re skrewed

Holograms, send one out and no name, no kill

Night all :slight_smile:

There is your problem, the game was just horribly made and armor abilities were poorly implemented into game.

And sleep well man!

Holograms were pathetic in Reach. Now, fooling someone with a decoy is nice but you are now stuck with no ways to boost your movement options or if you suck, use Armor Lock. Plus, anyone that pays attention won’t fall for a Hologram and trust me, most don’t fall for it.

However, in Halo 4, Holograms make your reticule turn red. It’s to make them more convincing and because of Sprint now being a native ablity, you don’t have any downsides to using it now. Of course, it’s up to you, the player, to learn when to throw out the Holograms to trick players. If you are too predictable, your trickery will fail (which doesn’t mean the AA suck; you do).

Oh they also “trick” Promethean Vision. Holograms are picked up as enemies (red) during the activation period.

Not sure about AC, can’t comment what 343 changed about it in Halo 4.
