Hey guys I was just browsing the web and found this great REDACTED on two armor abilities that were included in the halo 4 code. One appears to be a teleportaion armor ability and the other disables any armor ability the enemy is using. Perhaps 343 is planning on making new specializations to add these armor abilities with…which would brighten every 130s’ day.
So post any speculation as to what this means for the future of halo 4 and which armor ability do you think would be the most useful.
I doubt that these will be implemented into the game. They seem more game breaking than the current armor abilities. The teleportaion would be easily abused and would ruin basic engagements. The other armor ability defeats the entire purpose of armor abilities in the first place.
I could see these for custom games only but seeing how 343 dealt/ is dealing with custom game options i doubt these will ever be implemented.
both of those armor abilities are probably never going to be in halo 4.
the teleportation one was mentioned at one point, I remember they said it didnt make the cut, doesnt take long to figure out why.
as for the other one well thats just stupid, it simply doesn`t make any sense to have an armor ability that disables other armor abilities.
THC said someone hacked into Halo 4’s programming code and found these.

OP, those aren’t “new” at all. They’ve been around since long before launch, 343 just pussied out and didn’t put them in the final build. That teleporter one would have completely broken the game, so I’m very glad 343 didn’t put that one in. Hacker on the other hand, could have saved this game.
343 failed yet again by not putting Hacker in the final build. 343 has to go. Someone needs to be fired for all the -Yoink- those morons have put us through.

I must admit I was a little harsh in my anger, but Hacker could have been the door to classic Halo that we’ve all been wanting for over 8 years. 343 has no -Yoinking!- clue what they are doing. Microsoft’s greediness and rushed deadlines are no excuse for all the -Yoink-.
I honestly would like to see these in-game. Teleport could be used instead of Thruster. And Hacker is just awesome. Both appeal to my style. Tele for ‘trying hard’ and hacker for just about anything else.
The teleporter is basically the thruster back, and if 343 really don’t want a death wish they would keep the hacker AA out of the game.

Halo 4 is still in it’s beta form. 343i is trying stuff out. I think in the future, once they settle and get feed back from the community, Halo 4 will be truly a magnificent game.
Would be cool if they were added to be used in Custom games. Think of what people could do!
So uncivilized…
Judging by how this thread and similar haven’t been locked, it seems to me that this content is discusable. So I have used this logic to go ahead and post this post. I mean, the others must have surely get reported. I waited over two hours to post and the other hasn’t been locked so… It seems to be fine I’m guessing.
I’d really really really want the translocation device!!!
Oh imagine the universe debates! This device… Oh!!! This is… I want it I want it I want it I want it!!!
I hope those armor abilities won’t be introduced into Halo 4. They would ruin it.
they talked about both these armor abilitys in a podcast they aren’t gonna be released
Teleport to me just seems to be a Silent version of Thruster Pack, Though I admit Hacker does look ok.
Hacker would fix the game bc it would make all the -Yoink- worthless.
I’d take a heavily nerfed teleporter over the lame little thruster pack we got.
I don’t think the game is broken, and I don’t think that the introduction of either ability would be game breaking. If you cannot adapt to new abilities used in play then you shouldn’t play. I though on reach that the jetpack would be game breaking. It wasn’t, in fact it proved to be quite helpful and also a huge disadvantage at times.
I thought that the promethean vision would be game breaking, but that has proven to be well balanced as well.
Other weapons and abilities have all their pros and cons and its just a matter of play style and being able to pick them apart.
I hated the kill cam the first time, but now it can be a useful tool in determining armor ability, your own vulnerability and stupidity.
I don’t see how hacker would be game breaking when an ar at close range even if you disabled your opponents ability would still decimate you.
I never thought this would ever pop up, but to clear things up, these were two prototype AAs for Halo 4. Teleportation was based off of the knights’ ability to access slipspace for short range jumps (this evolved into thruster pack because Franky stated how everyone would use it to teleport behind their enemy and assassinate them or teleport through a wall to get away from their attacker) and the other AA jammer thingy was just a random prototype that proved to be annoying and game breaking.
