In Response To: Re: Aren't Spike Grenades basically Plasmas? (elessar787)


: As somewhat of a tangent, I think equipment should be removed as well. In
: campaign, I spent most of my equipment-related time tripping over
: deployable cover, flares, grav lifts, trip mines and the all-important
: radar jammer. The only things of use are the defensive pieces (bubble
: shield, regen) and the invincibility and cloak. And even then, you come
: across these pieces so rarely that I think it's negligible.

: And in multiplayer, half the pieces aren't even used. And the ones that are
: don't serve a tactical advantage so much as they act as a
: get-out-of-jail-free card. Forgot to check your surroundings before
: leaving cover? It's okay, just use the bubble shield or regen. Don't feel
: like employing a strategy when holding and moving around the map with the
: oddball? Have a bubble shield. Don't feel like skillfully bouncing a
: grenade at an enemy? Use a power drainer, where aiming isn't necessary.
: And the rate the equipment typically respawns is pretty quick, so this
: isn't very uncommon.

Equipment should stay, but not the way it is now. In its' current form, most to all of the equipment is impractical/unnecessary/overpowered. IMO: Equipment should be moved to the D-Pad, and more practical versions should replace what we have now. Power Drainers should become EMP Grenades - larger AOE, but only a second-long flash instead of a several second incredibly annoying blue screen of death. Regenerators should restore health as well as shields (if that is carried over into Reach). Bubble shields should be more like the version we saw in the Halo 3 add: A short-lived and small shield that gives you time only to restore your shields before collapsing. Trip mines... well, I don't think I need to convince anybody that they need to go back to how they were in the Halo 3 beta. ;)
