In Response To: Re: Halo Designs through the years. (Ragashingo)


: Sure there are. Gold Elites for sure are tougher and more aggressive. I do
: miss the more distinct Blue / Red / Gold / White / Black ranks from Halo 1
: though.

They can't dodge needlers so a needler just kills them in a second or two. What a come down, for Elites, from the original days.

  • I see crawlers as more mobile Grunts. They also fill the role that Drones occupied after h2 (when they became tethered to walls).
  • Watchers are engineers but can also spawn units
  • Knights are Elites but teleport to cover instead of using pathfinding and running to cover. The code that triggers the evasion will be the same so they must share a lot of code with the Elites.

I wonder if anything truly new could be added to the sandbox? But what on earth would this new thing be? The context sensitive combat dialogue added a lot to encounters but that has been pretty much stripped out. I can't think of any new combat behavior.

What about movement enhancements? Sprinting is just a movement enhancement enabled by lowering your weapon. Could we do a little parkour once we lower our weapon? use L-Stick to crouch, put lower-weapon on (B) and then let us climb with the weapon lowered. It would add a new way of navigating the maps and maybe enable more free flowing melee combat.
