Just as the title says should holograms be more useful?
Like as in they jump around, shoot(no damage of course), and stuff like that?
It would sure make holograms really fun.
Your thoughts-
Nah, they are holograms, they are purely for distraction, nothing else.
if they run into wall they will run around it
or dont run of cliff edges
or they can crouch
> if they run into wall they will run around it
I liked making people think that they were lagging.
making them like that is essentially spawning an identical spartan to act as a useless bot. I don’t see how holograms could change other than looking around after they stop walking to make it appear like they are real.

I love it when i am in front of someone’s face and they throw a hologram i run right threw it and kill them 
good times
The only time I find them more then useful is if your whole team have them. It confuses everyone like hell when they see 4-16 people comming running at them! It usually brings some hilarious moments too!
But to anser your question, no I don’t think they need to be altered, not in any major way at least.

Lol and thanks for sharing your thoughts.
No it would just give people more stuff to complain about lol

Heh you got that right.
How about at least appearing as a red dot on the enemies’ radar?

Could work, but lol I can imagine a camper using his hologram to walk forward and the guy outside to try to assassinate it but getting shotgunned lol.
Yes, I think they should at least shoot at the enemy. They were not useful enough in Reach.
Showing up on radar would be plenty of boost for hologram. Other than that, it shouldn’t do any damage but if it somehow reflected what the actual person did more than going in a straight line then it’d be a much better distraction. Example: similar move in mass effect copies what the original player is doing (looking in different directions, walking/jumping); so maybe it runs forward in the direction you aimed it, but if you jump/turn it jumps/turns too.

I use Holograms all the time, only thing that needs changing is get rid of being able to see your enemies name, ruins the holograms against snipers.
It would be cool if they fired randomly. Make it more believable. (No damage of course.)
They work fine as is, they do a small bit of something good but nothing game breaking. How AAs should work if they are going to be in game.
