Should Watchers be in Multiplayer?

Games Other Halo

I believe that watchers would be interesting if implemented in multiplayer as an ordinance weapon pick-up. It would be a nice power weapon for people to scramble for in the game. Do you think we should be able to deploy watchers in multiplayer (only as ordinance, NOT an AA)?

There is mention of an auto turret as an AA - but it hasn’t been revealed yet.

Never heard about that yet, thanks for the update. :smiley:

I highly doubt its a watcher though, watchers look more like defensive weapons than offensive weapons. I dont think they have turrets, but i know they can deploy sheilds and fling grenades back at people, those are the main reasons i think it would be pretty boss to use in multiplayer

Although I think they could be a little overpowered it would be interesting to have them there in multiplayer.

I’d also like the other shield/offensive/healing watchers from Halo Wars. That would be nice.

I thought in Halo Wars it were Sentinels who could heal units.
Didn’t know that.

That would be weird… to be playing with the enemies in matchmaking…? plus that wouldn’t fit with the story.

I’m actully not sure.

I actully don’t know if it’s nessicery to deply a watcher unless you can play as the Prometheans,but I don’t even think they’re playable either apprantly,I think we can wait and see

though honestly,I’m not so sure

What if they are neutral on the maps, like it doesn’t choose sides and throws those grenades it catches either back to the caster or in another direction…

have them as a custom games option ai who attack any players near it.

if you dont want it dont use it

I don’t know. If it was an ordnance drop, then it’d feel a lot like MW3’s helicopter killstreaks.
