I noticed this a couple weeks ago, but after finding slightly more evidence I’m ready to show my findings. Anyways, while watching the Spartan Ops reveal trailer, which will be linked at the bottom of the page, I noticed at 1:17 there was an Armor Ability on the Promethean Knight’s back as he was teleporting away from the Spartan-IV. Then, at 1:34, you can see a Spartan-IV assassinating a Promethean Knight, who has a similar looking Armor Ability module on his back to the one at 1:17. Since these modules look very similar, it could indicate that teleportation could be an Armor Ability. I’m not sure whether or not you’ll be able to use the Teleportation AA, due to it possibly being Promethean exclusive.
Video:
Edit: Here is the other video that I mentioned in the discussion. It clearly shows the AA on the back of the Promethean Knight at 1:20.
good find but i doubt spartans could use them.
> good find but i doubt spartans could use them.
It would be hard to balance, unless the AA teleported you to a random location and drained your shields.
It’s really tough to tell if the Promethean is wearing an armor ability on his back, but I think I can slightly see something there with a light on his back.

There was another video that was a collaboration of War Games and Spartan Ops gameplay that I couldn’t find that showed it more clearly. I’ll look again.
Maybe that’s just how Prometheans use the Thruster Pack ability?

8-10 meters in whatever direction you’re pointing. When crouched teleport defaults to downward movement. Energy cost.
Shadowrun had the above specs and worked out just fine on the circuit. Only being removed because FASA closed down and no game is allowed on the ciruit if it has no developer support.

Now, this was a loonnng time ago, but I remember Frankie saying something about, “there’s an interesting way to get behind people…” - Or something like that as if it were teleportation. It’s a little hazy, and it definitely didn’t sound like he was referring to Thrusters.
If they put teleportation as one of the AAs, that would really piss off a lot of people more than Armor Lock did.
Insert “#t=XXmXXs” for this case “#t=1m17s” behind your url link. It’ll take you directly to that time frame. Like so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn89_AXCRUY#t=1m17s

I don’t know how they could get away with that lol.

If I could ninja people by teleporting behind them, that’s all I would do for the rest of forever! Think of all the rage…

Here’s the video (it’s at 1:20).
I would love to see this ability. I think it can be successfully implemented without it being OP. It would pretty much be what Thruster Pack/Evade was. Good for getting out of a jam, but if your has skill, you could still get killed.
Though I would love to teleport behind someone and do an assassination.
What if it just worked like an enhanced Evade? That would work perfectly.

Good Eye
/ To people saying this could be an advanced evade, why have this and thruster to both function similar to evade?

Teleporting is definitely not evading.
Also, what if it is a “drop” in Infinity Slayer? The other powerful Forerunner/Promethean weapons seem to drop down, so why not AAs?
It certainly doesn’t look like an AA to be honest. I think teleporting a short distance wouldn’t make it because we already have the thruster pack and it really can’t be balanced at all.

It’s basically the same except this one is slower and you will not recieve damage. Both zap you from one spot to another.
Sounds like a bad idea if this is implemented in MP, and I think it will since IGN detailed the teleportation as the thruster by mistake
In my opinion it’s better if it won’t be in the normal multiplayer.
