As a team, it can be part of a strategy. If you take over a stronghold like the tower on Pinnacle then 'camping' is what it's there for.<br /><br />I was wondering what need this ability evolved from. I can see once it's there how hard it would be for them to remove it as it changes things so much. It kind of makes it easy for people to learn play habits. For those really good at anticipating where enemies will pop out, or those good at crouch sneaking to get to a flag stealing position their game just got that bit harder.umonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619851295680882975.post-90662719036998282222012-07-11T01:51:37.428-04:002012-07-11T01:51:37.428-04:00Im not a big fan of the sonor goggles or Promethea...Im not a big fan of the sonor goggles or Promethean Vision, I guess its OK for single player but for multiplayer games it indeed seems somewhat unbalanced. <br /><br />Camping is a legitimate strategy, but its one that is more useful for average and weaker players. I like to camp sometimes in Halo because running around I often get killed a lot and hurt my team if the other team is good, but if I sneak and use camo and camp a bit or protect tactical areas, I can keep my K/D neutral and maybe help my team win.<br /><br />But when you see videos of top players, playing any game from Halo to Call of Duty to Gears, they never, ever camp. They run around the map shooting people like lunatics. You simply wont get enough kill opportunities by camping as you will by constantly moving. Camping is a valid - if often hated on - defensive strategy, and I dont think trying to nerf it is something developers need to be concerned about.Chronichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051954780090847748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619851295680882975.post-83245361906286918012012-07-10T15:37:44.990-04:002012-07-10T15:37:44.990-04:00Meanwhile, more Halo 4 info is coming out.

Check out this early look at the new Forge. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJLhSt8dOjc" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJLhSt8dOjc</a><br /><br />The Infinity Slayer multiplayer mode <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=192hY1Kr0f0" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=192hY1Kr0f0</a> has a thing called Promethean Vision, one of the 'armour ability' load-out options I think. That lets you see through walls. <br /><br />This guy just flashes it for a couple of seconds for local corner peeking but I've seen it stretch across the whole map Perfect Dark style. Maybe a bit too overpowered right now, but I guess it was deasigned as a way to stop camping.umonoreply@blogger.com
