Ok guys, I don’t know if this has been posted or not but I found this video with some really good insight to Halo 4’s Armor Abilities. It is a video of CTF on a new map called Exile. More importantly early in the video you can see where the player is customizing his spartan and we get some great looks at what the new armor abilities are.
Thruster pack- “Enables a powerful burst of movement offering the ability to evade or close the gap.” This is the replacement for evade in Halo reach.
Promeathean Vision- “Allows users to detect enemy signitures thru walls and other hard surfaces.” Completly new to the halo series. This is sure to be used alot.
Hologram- “Allows users to generate a nearly identical holographic decoy to decieve enemies during combat.” Pretty much the same as Halo Reach.
Jet Pack- “Allows users limited flight through a vertical lift propulsion system similar to that of EVA resntry packs.” Pretty much the same as Halo Reach.
Hard-light shield- “Allows users to generate a protective barrier of hard light which stops most small arms fire and some explosives.” This takes the place of armor lock and looks very interesting.
Active Camouflage- “Allows users to generate a visable effect astonishingly close to invisibility.” Pretty much the same as Halo Reach.
Sentry Turret- “An automated turret which can be deployed to defend it’s user or command a key battlefield checkpoint.” Completly new to the Halo series. I like the idea of this.
Regen- “Allows users to realese a short-range energy field that heals any nearby spartans.” This is a slightly different version of the health regenerator from Halo 3. Instead of it being a piece of equipment is an on point armor abilitly NICE!!!
Watch the video and let me know what you think. I can’t wait for this game to get here.
P.S. The new Pulse Grenade is awesome.
You are about a few months late…
I’m naming my loadout with the regen ability Broly.
I am going with sensor to get more radar. AA energy to get better recharge on my AA. And active camouflage.

This video was posted a few days ago. How am I late? We knew what some of the AA’s would be but not all of them. We have also not had all of them lined up with description like the video shows…so what are you talking about.
By the way the writting that is in quotation is what the actual game says, not my opinion.
Being able to change you grenade radius, damage, and damage received?!?!? LOL Bare bones should be good.

He means we have known the 8 AAs for a long time now.

Don’t forget to yell “KAKAROT!”

I am a jet-packer, so it will be good to see its return. Definitely going to have to try the new AAs too, though. Wonder how tough the sentry turret is.

But we did not know regen and sentry turret would be one of them until just a little bit ago. We knew there would be 8 AA but we did not know what all of them would be. Plus I don’t believe we have seen them on screen like that being selected. It is the best view of the AA I have ever seen with description.
The regen AA only heals your other spartans and not yourself. I do believe.

Nope. I knew it since at least 2-3 month. There nothing new for me here. Maybe there is however something for people that don’t pay much attention and don’t look around for everything related to Halo 4 like I do however.
I’M GONNA BE INVINCIBLE WITH MY LOADOUT NOM NOM NOM!!!

I have been looking for a while and could not find any video with all of the AA on it at the same time during gameplay. This was the first one I could find. Sorry if it is really that late.
I thought this gameplay was pretty new.
The actual Hologram is more refined I think to Reaches as it does show up as enemy/team Colour on Radar. (Which reach lacked making it completely useless.)

I thought that the hologram showed up on radar in Halo Reach.
