Gonna probably catch flak for this, but AA would be good for all the nade spam in this game due to no Friendly Fire.

Damn, only 3 choices? I’d pick a lot more XD None from 5, no armour lock, flare, or hardlight shield. Everything else is good. Promethean vision I only want for a Predator custom gametype.

I actually prefer the Hardlight Shield over the Dropwall, but Bubble Shield tops them all.

Probably I have with the hardlight is people just used it to camp returning flags or other objectives etc. Maybe it’d be different as a limited pickup. Funny think with the drop wall is it’s a bad version deployable cover. You could shoot through that thing with a BR right in the centre XD

Would be dope if you could use small firearms like the Sidekick or the Plasma Pistol with the Hardlight Shield

Tried a poll myself that no one commented on so it got buried quick. Thanks for posting a poll. It’s simple data that 343 can pull and take under advisement @Happy_funrun

Maybe as a custom option that’d be good, but as standard that’s way too OP. It’s why people hate riotshields in other games.

Like others, I want to choose way more than three, but I picked the ones that I think have the most hilarity potential: Trip Mine, Ground Pound, and Grav Lift.

Obviously, they should not have too many on one map at a time, because it will be too chaotic (as fun y as it could be, it would ruin the tactical gameplay if the possibilities of what players can do are too open-ended).

For similar reasons though, I think they should not introduce too many equipment items into the sandbox overall. It works well now because it’s not too hard to become familiar with the different items, and there are clearly telegraphed visual cues to tell you what item someone is carrying. If they introduce too many items, things will become too obtuse for the casual player.

I’d honestly like it if they replaced the drop wall with bubble shield

I’m guessing the votes for ‘armour lock’ was people playing the fool!

Great idea for a poll bro

Just like in the weapons post, there were too many good ones to narrow it down to three. :slight_smile:

I would say that Armor Lock is the only one that I would be hard against. Armor Lock is neat in theory, but it made Reach matchmaking miserable. I really enjoyed the Hardlight Shield from Halo 4, and I feel like that would be a much more fair defensive equipment.

10000% Hologram!

I had so many great times with it in Halo 4. It’s not really OP and doesn’t exploit the game.
It’s just very handy :smiley:

Wow, 3 choices? That’s tough. I liked everything except Flare. Also can’t forget Evade, Sentry, Concussive Blast, Lightning Strike, Reflective Shield, Vehicle Cloaking, V.I.S.R. (Promethean Vision but better), and Invincibility. Every Halo ability should come to at least Forge so we can have the best Custom Games system possible.

where’s the no equipment option i"m tired of having it, the equipment in H Inf. is pointless and adds vey little to the game, all we need is over shield, and active camo as pick ups

I see the Halo CE stans have arrived yet again to tell us how much they hate everything. Only a matter of time until the whole original trilogy cult comes in and argues whether even the Halo 3 equipment should exist or not.

Really surprised that the bubble has so much fans. I really find any form of invulnerability too impactful on the balance and flow of the game.

I mostly hope we can modify the properties of equipment in customs just like in the campaign, that would make for some awesome game types

I just feel the equipment is super gimmicky in this iteration and unless i need to do a challenge I dont go out of my way for anything except camo especially cause drops on the maps change every few hours or so. I’m all for even starts but H4 and reach (f armor lock tho) had the best equipment setup.

I guess throw a vote in for Jetpack and Hologram then. I think Hologram would be great in CTF and Total Control, and I would love to see the interaction between Grappling a person flying with the Jetpack, and Jetpack Hijacking the Wasps. Reach and 4 did have some good equipment.
