Talk:Armor abilities

I've also seen in that trailer a sort of personalised bubble shield. The player uses it to deflect a Ghost that was boosting at him. I dunno if the Ghost exploded afterwards because of it, or because of some outside force (eg: explosive)

I think that was an oversheildVennificus 18:22, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Thats possibly one the abilities, but the "Jet Pack" is going to be awesome!!! Can u imagine flying down and blasting an elite in the face with a shotgun from above!!! IT WILL BE EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Justin Kane 12:43, March 5, 2010 (UTC)Justin Kane

The ghost driver was kill by a rocket that hit the guy using the invicinibilty shockwave thingy, but the ghost itself was destroyed by the shockwave. Incorruptible 15:26, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

This page needs to be renamned to "loadouts", since the newest MP trailer has confirmed that Armour Abilities has been renamned to loadouts. lol

Not quite true, you select your loadout at the beginning of the game (and each time you die) and the armour ability is part of the loadout. If we renamed this loadouts we'd have to rename weapons loadouts as well.82.45.116.95 16:31, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

Anyone have a second to confirm? --KickButtUnggoy 22:24, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Discriptions

Where did we get the quote's/discription's for the armor abillties? Noname The HeroHero Talk ^{Do I take life or give it? Who is victim, and who is foe} 21:47, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

If you go to bungie.net and go to the halo reach project page, select ordnance on the left and it is in a section called Armour Abilities. each quote is from the description next to each type of ability. Hillsy1993 15:53, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Is that all

Are these all of the armor abilities or are there more to come?—This unsigned comment was made by 24.184.119.203 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

I'm assuming these are for the Beta and perhaps more will be revealed in the final game release.- 5əb'7aŋk^(7alk) 22:34, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Umm in the beta the armor lock and active camo are rectangles located under the players power pack sprint has none and jetpack is big ugly box(obviously) this is all aesthetic on the character look for yourselves.

There are two new abilities (besides Drop Shield) that were recently revealed here towards the bottom of the Firefight features list. We know nothing about them except that they'll be featured in Firefight and useable by Spartans. They are listed as [REDACTED]. FatalSnipe117 21:54, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Now there is (at least) one left to be revealed. the hologram was just revealed here. Brace yourselves for another armor ability sometime within the next few weeks. FatalSnipe117 18:10, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Jetpacks

In the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Trailer, I noticed that only the Spartans can use the Jetpacks, can Elites use jetpacks like in Halo 2? Registered Contributor ® 01:12, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Umm, yea. I was just on Bungie.Net, and some guy said that it showed an Elite's loadout screen and it said Jet Pack. I have doubts though, cause how did he know it twas an Elite.BriNg iN DeR FLAmeS?! 01:12, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

yes there will be an elite jetpack. In an interview with GTTV you can see an elite using one in the background and when they show the loadouts of elites. One option has a jetpack.

Campaign?

I know it could be a far shot, but I hope that they can find some way to work Armor Abilities into Campaign—This unsigned comment was made by 98.193.64.52 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Bungie already confirmed that Armor Abilities will be featured in the Campaign in one of their weekly updates.- Sketch^ist 02:51, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Holograph Armor Ability

I may have missed something, but isn't all the information concerning the Holograph armor ability speculative? All we can actually state is that it creates a holographic copy of the player, it is capable of movement (though if it is user controlled or simply takes a walk is unknown), and that when it dies it flickers. But the video doesn't actually confirm we have control over it in anyway or how damage is dealt to it. We saw a headshot from a sniper rifle, which doesn't really say much. It could easily disappear from one shot, have half health, etc. So unless there is information elsewhere, all the information in that section is speculation and should be removed until information arises stating otherwise. XRoadToDawnX 18:39, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

My bad. I added those when I redirected a duplicate article to this article.- Sketch^ist 18:42, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Anyone who has the software to do so should get some kind of picture of the holograph. The best spot is probably where it gets hit by the sniper, that will show that it is a hologram, not a player. FatalSnipe117 19:46, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Holograph or Hologram? The article states Hologram, but everyone, as well as other articles, are referring to it as Holograph. This puzzles me. I humbly request permission to start changing this mistake. Kurt - O51 18:27, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

That could be a halo 2 holo drone, no?. User:Alex Gonzalez 14:15, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

Its kinda like a holo-drone except it doesn't fire, although I think it may have shields. - FatalSnipe117 05:01, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe this is not a holo drone, but it could be great to have him back. Alex Gonzalez 18:33, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

You point at something, activate the ablility, and it runs other to where you pointed and stops, if you point downwards it doesn't move, and it flickers away after 10 seconds or after taking a certain amount of damage (don't know how much damage though), the time it lasts and the damage it takes might be able to be changed in custom games settings, (you can make it so u don't drop a flag/skull/bomb when using a ability) Agow95 10:23, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Drop Shield Quote

The quote that Lars Bakken gave in his interview with Waypoint about the drop shield; "Think of it as a proto-bubble shield" would go nicely above the drop shield section. Permission to add it? --Turn out the Lights, on your way Out 07:13, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Permission DENIED!!!! ~Sarge 76.211.9.235 09:46, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Evade + Spartans

Just wanted to ask about the recent frame of the Forgeworld Vidoc showing a spartan character having his armour ability as evade. Was this a glitch, and error, a real change that has not been talked about by bungie or something that has been confirmed? Rimnek 015 02:44, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

I believe that now all characters can use all armor abilities (Elites using armor lock, Spartans using evade, ETC...) but don't quote me on that. Que Sera, Sera 02:55, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Elites

I know spartans can now use evade but i dont think elites can use sprint. since they already move faster anyway. FATGUNN 03:04, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure Sangheili (Elites) can sprint with their armor.Death will follow you... 20:40, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Drop Shield?

Is there any indication whether someone can deactivate the drop shield before the times up. I am talking about the person who activated it in the first place.FATGUNN 00:31, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

A.I + Armour Abilities

Hey all, I was just at the Control Point Defense in Toronto on Sept 4th and I got to play a game of firefight. At one point I was fighting a brute captain, who several times used armour lock against me. I just wanted to point out the it seems that not only the Spartans and Elites will be able to use the Armour Ability option, but that the Brutes will as well. I wonder if the Brute Chieftans will have a uniquie armour ability, like an invincibility or something that you can only use if you successfully kill one in campaign or something. Any thoughts? Rimnek 015 06:03, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

I had a skirmisher use a hologram on me. It fooled me too.--Blahmarrow 19:13, 7 November 2010 (EST)

New armor lock glitch?

I was playing firefight with a friend when I decided to bother him by standing on him. Eventually a Brute with a Plasma Launcher shot at me and I used armor lock. That resulted in my friend flying pretty far across the map, along with me. Is this something worth noting on this site, I mean as a glitch?--Blahmarrow 19:17, 7 November 2010 (EST)
