New Armor Ability?

Games Other Halo

Hey guys, I was thinking of Armor Abilites just a moment ago when I remembered that in the Fall of Reach the spartans could “lock down” their armor so that they would take dramatically less fall damage. I think Jorge and 6 also used this when assualting the spire in Halo Reach’s Campaign.

I was just thinking that this could be a cool ability to use. Jumping out of a falcon mid-air and locking down your armor would be a badass moment, and then you have times when it may be needed, take the Spire on Halo Reach’s multiplayer for instance. I just thought it would be a cool idea. Thoughts?

Just maybe is you were immobile on the ground for say 3-5 secs

I’m pretty sure it’s just a crude form of armor lock. Master Chief sort of did the same thing at the beginning of Halo 3, when his armor was locked.

This was included in Halo: Reach. It was called Armor Lock. Sound familiar? You may not realize it, but you’re basically asking for Armor Lock to be in Halo 4.

Anyone who’s saying “oh Armour Lock from Halo: Reach” is forgetting that the OP is also pointing out how it reduces fall damage.

I was thinking that they could redo Armour Lock and make it splatter enemies from a great height while also saving you from fall damage.

But I don’t think Halo 4 has fall damage.

He is not saying being invincible for 5 seconds, and he isn’t talking about Armor Lock from Halo Reach.

Also “Dramatically less fall” damage doesn’t mean no fall damage, it just means that you won’t take a lethal amount of fall damage.

It does, hence his topic is relevant.

Its in some of the MLG videos, here ill post one for you
At 00:55 you see him jumping down and he receives fall damage.

they did that by pumping up the pressure of the hydrostatic gel layer of their suits. It’s basically the layer that absorbs shock from impacts and disperses it to lessen the blow. It’s what John and other Spartans have done on several occasions (makes me think of FoR mostly) to survive lethal falls. It would be a nifty thing to do, but it would be largely impractical to incorporate in gameplay due to it’s limited usability.

Sounds similar to armour lock, but I see what you’re getting at. There basically should be an AA that should make you invulnerable to fall damage ONLY. I think making you invulnerable to damage too would just be too similar to AL.
