My particular problem with both of these abilities is that they don’t seem to be tech. They seem to be magic. Both abilities appear out of nowhere as if summoned with their minds.
This isn’t Halo.
It’s a simple fix though. Instead of striking a pose and making the things appear out of thin air, why don’t they just drop some tech? Toss a thing on the ground and the result being your Regen Field appears or your turret assembles.

I agree that they shouldn’t strike weird poses, and should just drop the equipment, but like people said, advanced technology can lead to it seeming like magic.
Forerunners can make things teleport and assemble at will.
Sriking a pose is pretty much summoning the ability, where the turret or regen field will assemble and teleport itself.
The regen field is tech though. It is likely something on the armor, that’ll send out a wave that heals/repairs nearby things. The Forerunners had that tech, this is just mobile.

Regen field was in Reach. We haven’t seen how Prometheans will activate the auto turrets as I’m guessing they launch it out of their armor. The regen field appeared out of nowhere in Reach too. But it’s an advanced shield system that recharges your shields I’m guessing. The auto turret is perhaps on the Spartans back as that’s where AA’s were located in Reach. It’s probably where it launches.
Are you capable of formulating opinions or just spewing garbage? I’m interested in what people think not whatever the hell this post is.
OT: I suppose you’re right. And maybe that’s what 343 was going for. The comment that interested me in specific was the one about a flashlight looking like magic to a caveman. Very interesting.

That which you know as space magic is your salvation through destruction.
There are worse subjects to talk about and this one makes the game look a lot nicer. I mean if everything just popped out of nowhere it just wouldn’t look right in the game.
