Armor abilities are | Armor abilities are an alteration of ''[[Halo 3]]''<nowiki/>'s [[equipment]]. Instead of being single-use, each ability is reusable, with a cooldown time between uses. In [[campaign]], the player begins with the sprint armor ability at the start of each level, and is able to swap it with other armor abilities they may come across. In [[multiplayer]], armor abilities can be chosen through [[loadout]]s before a match is started or during a player's respawn time. Armor abilities can be manipulated like weapons in [[Forge]].<ref name="armor">[http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=faq&cid=25850 '''Bungie.net''': ''Armor Abilities'']</ref> | ||
Most armor abilities are enabled by a small device attached to the user's lower back, with each ability displaying a different color. When not in use, these devices will project a hologram that displays the icon of the ability, allowing for quick recognition from a distance or when switching abilities. When players are killed, the armor abilities will not be drop down. | Most armor abilities are enabled by a small device attached to the user's lower back, with each ability displaying a different color.

All armor abilities are rendered useless to players when transporting objects such as [[Flag]]s and [[Oddball]]s. If players attempt to use an armor ability, the object simply drops out of their hands. In custom games, the cooldown time can be altered and the ability to use armor abilities while holding objectives can be added. | All armor abilities are rendered useless to players when transporting objects such as [[Flag]]s and [[Oddball]]s.
