Equipment: Difference between revisions
When the equipment acts more like an armor ability. Likewise does VISR mode in H3: ODST count as equipment? Either way this page could use some work.

'' | ''Halo: Reach'' features a retooled equipment system, called "[[Armor Abilities]]". While in ''Halo 3'' each piece of equipment could be used only once, Armor Abilities are reusable, with a cool-down time between each use. A player can only have one Armor Ability at a time. Players select which one they want to use in the loadout menu before spawning. They can also be spawned in Forge mode for players to pick up and use. Power-ups from the Halo Trilogy is still available in ''Halo: Reach'' through its [[Forge]] mode. | ||

''[[Halo 3]]'' introduced new kinds of equipment items. These items are immediately picked up when a player walks over them. The player can carry these items, and deploy them at any time with the button X. Only one equipment item can be carried at a time, however (though power-ups do not count toward this limit). The items appear in both [[Multiplayer]] and [[Campaign]]; in the latter, [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] can use Equipment as well.<ref>'''[http://www.edge-online.com/ EDGE Magazine, February 2010]'''</ref> | ''[[Halo 3]]'' introduced new kinds of equipment items.

All playable characters are equipped with flashlights on their weapons, when in Campaign. However in multiplayer players can't use the flashlight, which can be a disadvantage in darkened areas. The Arbiter no longer has ability to use built-in cloaking during gameplay (although it appears so on the cutscene on the [[Arrival]], and on the final chapter of the campaign, where he "warps" on to the warthog in single-player). | All playable characters are equipped with flashlights on their weapons, when in Campaign.
