I guess there will not be Bubble Shield/Regen/Drain. Does anyone have any indications of the contrary?
I miss the halo 3 equipment. Armour abilities would have also been perfectly fine if they were placed round the map rather than as part of loadouts.
Equipment was a pretty bad mechanic IMO. There were a couple of good ones, but it was mostly useless.
I think things like Bubble Shield/Energy Drain can just be grenade types and the other ones are just meh. I’d love to see Bubble Shield again.
Equipment was the beginning of Halo going away from its arena roots. Getting rid of it is a step forward. Equipment is more of a determinate to competitive play than Spartan Abilities.
The way I see it, H5 is based off of H2. New abilities, new mechanics, etc. And no pickups aside from weapons and possibly power ups.
That said, I hated equipment. It was useless most of the time, and when it was useful, it was OP. Didn’t help that most of it couldn’t be used without it affecting you as well. Hate.

no, spartan abilities are base gameplay in Halo 5. they are absolutely necessary. And if they where some sort of “pick-up bonuses” you couldn’t use them all together. using all spartan abilities is what makes Halo 5 so cool.
1 time use equipment was awesome, but theyd have to be mapped to the d-pad. and im not against there being equipment based grenades.
