Secrets in Screenshot - Grenades, DMR &Armor Ability

Games Other Halo
1

In the new May issue of Gameinformer, you can see this screenshot.

  • In the top left you can see different grenades.
  • In the bottom left you can see an armor ability
  • You can see him holding a DMR, which was confirmed in an interview to be in the game

I find the armor ability most interesting, as these are armor abilities confirmed; Jetpack, Hologram, Sprint (default) and Forerunner vision. 343i said there is no bubbleshield.

It has a meter, maybe it’s just like invisibility cloak or something. Then again I don’t know haha.

3

Good spot. Yeah it probably is a meter

4

I think when you pick up over shield or active camo, you do not use it right away and can hold onto it and use all of it when you need to (and no stopping or recharging it). Maybe that is part of your customizable abilities?

5

That would be an amazing idea for the game. I hope they do it. But there are still armor abilities and you can’t see another icon for armor abilities anywhere else.

LOL WHAT?

That would be a terrible idea. Pick up OS, walk into a huge pit of combat (which is a bad decision) then pressing a button and your now in god mode essentially? Thats completely absurd. Absolutely terrible, its like bringing Armour lock into Halo 4 without being “locked down”…

7

Maybe that armour ability is forerunner vision, if you look at the radar (motion tracker) there’s an arrow, so maybe forerunner vision shows the way the enemy is?

Note this is just speculation and it may not be real.

8

It has to be Forerunner Vision. That symbol doesn’t match the other armor abilities, and they didn’t use any other ones in the demo for GameInformer.

9

Did anyone notice the DMR has no reticule.

10

Also did you notice that if an enemy is above you the red symbol on the motion tracker is an up arrow and I am assuming that there will be a down arrow to signify that the enemy is below you.

11

im gunna go with forunner vision i dont know y just a hunch and if you guyz noticed it now shows ur total grenade count to the farthest left and does anybody have any idea what type of grenade the diamond is? oh and the dmr looks sweet! (but ya no reticle, probably just cuz it is a screenshot)

12

This screenshot looks great. The ammounced leaks, not so much.

13

I think the cube represents a wall meaning it could be forerunner vision

14

Also has anyone noticed that there’s three grenade types. One of them is obviously fragmentation, one of them plasma, but the third one looks like something new. I hope it’s a flame grenade. They could expand on those so they cover more area and last longer so you can block things like doorways for map control. It would kinda work if it was expensive to get.

Yeah, seeing as he is jumping. That would make a lot of sense to have an up and down arrow.

16

Probably Hologram or Forerunner Vision. Or maybe just a placeholder?

Could be, but why hologram?

It’s a new AA, the Halo 4 version of Armor lock. It’s called deployable crate. When you use it the spartan deploys a crate in front of him that can stop a speeding vehicle dead on or take quite some punishments (armor lock + drop shield).
However, any smart player can counter this by simply running/driving/shooting beside the crate.
It comes with an optional upgrade at 2000 spartan points, where you can actually hide in the crate for 10-15 seconds ^^

Maybe just a placeholder, or something really cool ^^
Good find anyhow OP :slight_smile:

Thnx. Could you give me a link to the source if you can remember?

I think it’s Forrunner Vision, but the two things i’m more interested in is the sweet looking new DMR and the possible new grenade type.
