IDEA-H4 "perks"...

Games Other Halo
1

I’ve heard that there will be a sort of “Perk” system in H4.
Though I doubt this is what it will be called…
Now, I’m not asking whether you like it or not.
Or if it’s a good idea or not.
I’m asking, if there were “perks”, what would be some interesting ideas you’d use?
If you don’t wanna post any ideas for “perks”, just don’t post here…
Here’s a few of my ideas…

Visor-Scope
In ODST, you were able to fire your SMG without de-scoping.
This is what Visor-Scope would do for any weapon that didn’t have a built-in scope.
Such as the AR, or Plasma Rifle.

Shock-Absorbers
Say there were fall-damage in H4, this would either enable you to survive bigger falls, or take out fall-damage completely.

Leg-Hydraulics
This would allow you to Sprint faster and longer.

Ammo-Up
In the case of human weapons, this would slightly increase clip-size.
Except for power-weapons such as Rockets and Snipers.
As for Covenant weapons, or anything else that used charge, such as the Sentinal Beam, this would allow the user to fire the weapon longer before over-heating.
Except weapons such as Carbine which use a clip.

Arm-Hydraulics
This would allow you to reload slightly faster and switch weapons faster.

Heat-Seeker
The user would be able to see invisible players and vehicle weak-spots in glowing red.

Strafe-Boost
While this is enabled, the user is able to change direction faster than usual.

Well, these are a few of my ideas, some of them are kinda over-powered.
But this isn’t real, ad I’m just stating my ideas.
If you guys have any interesting ideas, feel free to share them.
And remember, this won’t rally happen, so no raging… (:

Also, if you liked any of my ideas, vote in the poll, you can vote several options. (:

How about an advanced scope which gives a .5-1x zoom addition to scoped weapons.

Not too bad of ideas. I’m really interested in how these features will play out (not calling them perks since Frankie is trying hard to shake that term).

I’m a little worried I must admit, but I have faith in 343i!

Well, would this make the weaponmore accurate or just increase zoom level?
Because if it increased the accuracy and gave a huge zoom, this would make the BR op.
But pretty good idea anyways.

Perks should not be entire game mechanics.

A good perk would be something like 15-25% less recoil when dual wielding. 5-10% more health. 10% stronger melee. Minuscule things like this, not entire gameplay features packed into a perk.

And only one perk.

We’ll have to wait and see what these “perks,” actually are though.

Just increased zoom no accuracy boost.

I see what you mean, this makes sense, but still, my ideas aren’t majorly op.
Also, I’m pretty sure that dual-welding has been confirmed to not be in H4.

Then yes, very cool.

This would be too much like Visor-Scope.
This would make sense if you were unable to fire while using this enhanced zoom.

Sorry but all these ideas seem to make gameplay unfair for other players. I do not like that idea.

How so if they also have them?

NO perks. NO. 343 said that they never said PERKS. and they never DID.
This makes everyone start off differently. so NO.

…I believe that you didn’t read the post, if so, you wouldn’t be raging…

I did read the post, dont assume anything. 343 themselves said WE NEVER SAID PERKS. they never ONCE mentioned the term.

PS. I don’t understand your definition of "raging, but all I know is that it is wrong.
