Power-ups in Combat Evolved

Games Other Halo

The power-ups in CE seem kind of tacked on to me. No other campaign has them, maybe just a gimmick of the time? I know they definitely have a place in multiplayer, but I’m unsure about the campaigns…

I’m trying to think right now about power-ups in other Halo games… Wow, there were many of them throughout Halo CE campaigns. In multiplayer they play a huge role! I mostly like picking up the Overshield when I’m one shot and turn around and just blast that player behind me! hahaha EVIL!

I don’t mind having them in the campaign.

The main substitute to these powerups in the other Halo games are probably equipments scattered around the maps in Halo 3 and armor abilities in Halo Reach and Halo 4.

Completely forgot about Halo 3, it had Invincibility, like Overshield on steroids

Pick ups were a big thing in the 90s and they started to become less common after CE came out.

Yes, this is very true. I prefer much more though of timing and gaining map positioning compared to someone throwing a power drain at me or camping in a regeneration shield thingy. Being invincible however while picking up the over shield is extremely overpowered!

It is possible that there are modders who have already made them, don’t you think? Still it is a good idea.
