Re: hologram speculation

: Hrm. I could be wrong, but I don't think it works like that.
: I got the impression that the player actually controls the hologram, leaving
: the real player hidden in a safe place. Effectively you could walk around
: as the hologram, dealing damage to others while basically taking none. The
: tradeoff for this is that your real Spartan would be motionless and
: vulnerable for others to find and kill.
: Who knows, though?
I highly doubt you would deal damage as the hologram.
I also doubt that you'd be able to control it.
What you're describing sounds like the Scout plasmid in Bioshock 2. I see it more like Decoy.
Think of the Decoy applications:
- Sniper confusion (like in the video)
- Send it into the flag defender's room to get campers to show their positions and reload
- Evasion: if someone is following you, hide around a corner and send the hologram in the direction you were going, when your follower chases that one you can assassinate them
I do agree that you might be motionless while the hologram is deployed. Not sure how else it could be balanced.
