Sorry I haven't done anything in this topic for the past 2 days, been playing Reach. lol
I see your point now, Guard sounds pretty good if you're using it in the right situation. However being invincible for 5 seconds still doesn't stop them from camping right behind you and melee-ing you the moment you stand up /whatjusthappenedtome
Bungie has you covered. A little know fact about guard is that it releases an EMP that takes out enemy shields if they stand right next to you. Also, you are able to aim your camera while in guard, so as soon as you stop using it, you are already pointing in the direction of the enemy and are able to start shooting. I've gotten so many kills because people don't wise up fast enough.
As for the rest of the equipments, sprinting is probably the most useless. It doesn't last long enough and there isn't much that it is good for.
Jetpacks are nice for fast movement.
Invisibility is only good if you are skilled with it. The built-in radar jammer gives away your position, so you have to move quickly, but not too fast. Also, if you move too slowly, sometimes people catch glimpses of your name.
I personally think Guard is the best because of it's multiple uses, but that's just me.
Weapons.
I'm loving the pistol. It's so much more useful than the Halo 3 one.
DMR is a good replacement for the BR, but it takes a little while to get use to the "recoil".
Other weapons I've used include the sword (I like how it makes you run faster), the assault rifle, plasma pistol, plasma rifle, needler, needle rifle, covenant "laser sniper", and gravity hammer. I haven't used the grenade launcher, sniper, or the rockets yet. Oh, and I used the convent homing rocket thing. It's pretty cool.
I'm liking the credit system. A lot, in fact.
With the game modes, I have enjoyed all of them.
Stockpile is one of my favorites. I'm pretty good at it.
Swat is a lot more awesome than it was in halo 3. With the sprinting and the more powerful weapons, it seems a lot like CoD.
One flag is very fun.
Covy Slayer is a barrel of fun. Evade is fun to use.
Oddball has been made better thanks to the equipment.
Those are the only modes I can remember/have played.
Overall brown townysis: Best game in a long time.
