I found an article that shows the new armour abilities, jet pack and auto-sentry.
What do you guys think?
I could care less about Jet Pack and Regen field but Auto-sentry scares me.
You don’t have to any work so I find it unfair. The only thing that should make you win is your skill with your controller and aiming, everybody can press a button to put it down.
I think most have already been familiar with these. This might also count as leaked content, so careful.
OT: I’m stoked to see how they will work in-game.
Jetpack is the only one that worries me. As long as it doesn’t function like the Reach Jet pack I’m fine. Perhaps it only slows a fall? That would be ideal if you ask me.

I agree that it worries me, but only slowing falls? That is just flat out useless on 95% of maps (Assuming they aren’t adding a ridiculous amount of vertical gameplay)
I’m pretty sure that jetpack would be like the reach jetpack by the looks of that image. I hope it doesnt last as long.

Fixed because no one would ever pick Jetpack if it got nerfed that badly, i.e., turned into -Yoinking!- -Yoink-.

That’s an overkill…
My guess is that the Regen field and of course Jetpack will be the most game-breaking AA’s.

What if it worked like the jump packs that the Brutes had in Halo 2?
Jetpack needs to stay out of MP
Should only be in campaign / spartan ops and custom games as it does more bad then good in Match making

At least out of playlists with 8 people and under. I would be fine with it in big team.
i think auto sentry is dumb.
but if its a stand still 180 fov with about as much strength as three grunts, and a sentinel beam level of weapon…
that does NOT score you points, just team kill points.
Is used to cause a small choke point in a hallway or something.
Maybe.

How so?
I never got why jetpack messed up the game.
I also think that the regen field couldn’t hurt anything.
OT: the auto sentry sounds… useful. I woudld imagine that it doesn’t do much damage though and/or doesn’t have much health of its own.
Jetpack???
I have a bad feeling about this…

Do you mean the Halo 2 Ranger Elites? They were constantly flying and the Brutes didn’t have jetpacks in Halo 2.
In Halo 3 the Brutes used jumpacks when they flew extremly high for a few seconds and then landed.
OT: I personally hate the jetpack to high heaven. I found it 50x worse that AL.
The auto sentry might not be that powerful, or it could only face one direction or follow you around until it needs to recharge, 343 said they were going to balance everything so it will most likely be fooled by hologram and will be unable to see active camo
from the 2 clips i’ve seen of the jetpack it looks like you can’t shoot while you are being propelled upwards. which i think is an excellent amount of nerf for it.
I’ve got a bad feeling about these three. Auto Sentry sounds especially annoying.
Im stoked about the Jet pack. The Regeneration field would be pretty cool i did like it in Halo 3 but um the Sentry I have mixed feelings about just because the amount of campers who play Halo. I dont know maybe the sentry could get taken out easily but if not then i hope they dont have it.
