For whatever reason they made abilites regular abilites in support and tactical upgrades, why?
[Examples]
Resupply: why don’t the enemys drop grenades normaly, why is this an ability
Firepower: its not gears of war, we can’t put two weapons on our backs so this is just stupid, though it would make since if you could carry 3 weapons so one on the back and one on each thigh.
Ammo: they cut the amount of ammo you have normally by about 1 or 2 so you have to get this crap to do so, why would they do that, just keep it normal and have it so that you can carry 2 more clips, its not hard
what would be good abilites would be
[Examples]
Dual Firepower: ability to dual weld.
Extended Ability: use armor abilites twice as long but twice as long to recharge as well.
Stronger EMP: EMP damage lasts twice as long but uses more ammo
for a natural ability weapon trading, why? so i don’t have to kill myself to give my friend a sniper or another good weapon
Also one good armor ability from RvB and tranformers
Color change: change the armor color to that of the enemys for the same amount of time as the active camo ability.
I don’t even understand why the game needs perks. What happened to everyone being completely equal upon every spawn? Why should someone be allowed to reload faster, change weapons faster, have infinite sprint.
To me, they don’t add any depth and only cause problems.
I just can’t seem to get my fingers around this small grenade on the ground.
Guess I can’t do it without wasting a spot in my Loadout so I can pick up grenades but I can automatically pick up weapons and ammo.
They should have had a class system instead of a personal loadout system. Why copy a close quarters game like CoD when they could have copied from a large scale battle game like Battlefield? In reality, 343 needed to make Halo 4 unique from any shooter to date, even different from other Halo games.
dual side arms definitely is cool but we need an smg back for it to be right and no dual wielding primary weapons like in the past.
spawn with all 3 grenade types but one of each
increased walk speed and jump height slightly
crouching sprint or movement speed increased in crouching slightly hiding you from radar still not near as fast or far as regular stance sprint and not stackable with mobility
carry a 3rd weapon but not spawn with one
flash grenade armor ability like the equipment in halo 3
also bubble shield
equipment in general maybe and more loadout guns like repeater smg needle rifle plasma rifle

a lot of people complained about the drop shield, but it was useful for invasion, i never played halo 3 really but i played ODST and the SMG sucks to me, doesn’t save me for crap, the crouch sprint is a good idea, increase walk speed and jump height is good too for those who play as ninja’s, carrying a third weapon may be hard because you have to press Y 3 times unless they make it so that you switch between your secondary weapons which would be your two other weapons with the directional pad like gears or battlefield, the flash grenade armor ability would be annoying as hell but good for escaping or ambushing, can’t say i agree with you on the plasma rifle, that has saved my life in multiplayer never, but the repeater i agree on, needle rifle would be good as well, and smg would probibly be a secondary weapon.

It seems to be part of a trend these days, and it reminds me a lot of the modern approach to downloadable content: let’s finish the game, then remove a portion of it, release the incomplete game at retail, and pretend the stuff we removed is a “bonus”. Taking something that’s been in every Halo game since the beginning and telling us that it’s now a “special” feature is absurd. Yes, it cuts down on grenade spamming, which is always a good idea, but there are better ways to do this.

they are in their 70’s, the augementations just made them look 50 years younger. but in all seriousness, i don’t know why they need it either, though the main question should be, where do they store their ammo, reach you had armor with ammo packs or extra armor on them, all the other halo games except for CE and CE anniverary, no place to put them.

okay, i see the grenade spamming point because while playing some games everyone and their grandmother is throwning frag grenades for the hell if it, the only time i throw my plasma’s is if i’m gonna lose and i just want to say “**** you” with a from the grave kill, but firepower, i have to disagree because of how spartan armor works and how we all see them carry their weapons so its kind of dumb because no one has ever seen two weapons on a spartan’s back except for when you play reach and the weapons fuse together on your back, i don’t mind the packages either but a few of them are really unnessary, you have to agree a little.
The loadout options are fine as is. They add to the gameplay without breaking it. And its pretty darn well balanced for an initial release. Everything the op suggested would not make good gameplay imo.
