Re: Halo 4, dynamic HUD

In Response To: Re: Halo 4, dynamic HUD (stabbim)


: What if the S-IV's in Halo 4 are considered more.... expendable than Reach's
: S-III's, and are allowed to die? Or at least get "knocked out"
: the way the Arbiter did in Halo 3? They could be a little more effective
: and believable in combat. I see them potentially being like the Elite
: companions in Halo 2 and 3, which I liked quite a lot.

That's kinda what I was thinking. S-IVs that are expendable NPCs and that function like shielded ODSTs would be interesting as allies. Them being expendable just like the Elite allies in H2 & H3 but tougher than your typical Marine (or Grunt in the Arbiter missions) means the developer doesn't have to make them useless to compensate for them having Plot Armor, which in turn gives the player more incentive to keep them alive as they'd be more valuable.
