Herro, Its me
I have an Idea that I hope will make you at Bungie very Happy
You have shown us the Armoury which was great, for the Beta I thought the range of armour you could get was pretty cool.
Though on some of the armour Pieces I said things like, Increases your stealth capabilities, or something like that.. This got me thinking..
Armour Perks, we need them, but im not talking Massive perks, im talking about small perks that hone in on certain weapons and armour abilities.
for example, one of the helmet ops that you could buy could easily boost the zoom capabilities of the pistol
or maybe a certain chest piece that makes the EMP blast from armour lock bigger, when released from full power.
I could think of things like this all day and if you are interested Bungie my email is Cabowse@me.com , quite simple I know.
Anyway, back to my idea, the capabilities are quite limitless, and could solve a lot of the problems people are coming up with about the weapons in the game.
For example, a lot of people are annoyed about the fact that you can block the Energy sword with a normal weapon, but what if there was a certain shoulder pad, that cancelled that block, of course the shoulder pad wouldnt be easy to get, maybe you have to be a high rank and have a lot of creds i dunno, but think this means these people who are annoyed about the block have something to play for, knowing that not all is lost for the energy sword.
people talking about the AR not being powerful enough, maybe they could have have a whole set of AR based Armour to really make themselves an AR wielding menace on the battlefield. Not every weapon would have so many perks though, things like the Rocket launcher and plasma Launcher, dont really need much boosting.
This would really keep players on their toes, they wont know what hit them, and they will hopefully love how unpredictable the game has become, you never know who is going to win that duel with ARs, especially if you have a bigger clip in yours.
I still think you should be able to customise your Elites as well, of course there would obviously be more perks for elites based on covenant weapons, but thats not going to say that Spartans shouldn't be able to be perked up for the energy sword as well, you never know, maybe the whole sword blocking thing is Elite only, therefore you can relax when you see a spartan coming your way with one.
Its an idea anyway, remember the more armour there in the armoury, the more possible perks there are, keeping everyone happy, Mix and match or Hone on the armour that makes you feel like a complete unit with your pistol. Well thats what I would do :)
