I am very curious about the fate of this piece of equipment. It was a great addition in Halo 3, that gave us a power up we could spawn on the map that gave the player, any property we could set, without it being universaly applied to all players, such as giving a player 4x overshield, or maybe increasing the damage that player can deal, their speed ect. With the fact that the Overshield and Active Camo are now considered equipment, I am curious if that hurts the chances of the custom power up making a return. I really do miss that piece of equipment, and many of the great infection gamemodes of the past relied on that Equipment, such as Fat Kid, Duck Hunt, Ice Cream Man, Tetris, ect. So many classic gamemodes could return if 343 brings back the custom power up.
A work around would be if duration could be set to unlimited on a custom power up, but it would have to be activated manually by the player.
Considering the massive leap Forge made from Halo 4 to 5 it’s probably relatively safe to say it’ll likely return although there’s no confirmation as of yet sadly.
Hopefully Halo Infinite continues down this path.
A generic power up that we can apply a temporary trait profile too is a great option.
