    The driverable hologram actually looks like if it had a little more polish and balancing it would be more useful than the OG hologram

    • @117Inqui

      I would think of forcing the player to use only the weapon you were holding while activating the hologram and having only 1 clip of ammo in said gun (if it uses ammo at all). But I can guess why even that would be overpowered, since you are still essentially giving infinite ammo to a player, and that would make the day for a camping sniper or give "4 rockets per clip" to a skilled player trying to control a certain zone of the map.
      Giving no ammo at all and no melee damage or any damage output at all to the hologram would be the best course of action to give only a remote controlled scouting device that renders your real self vulnerable.

Also as for AI skill, it doesn't need CSGO pro level skill. In my opinion, it'd be nice to have bot backfilling for when a player quits and for making maps feel more alive. All I want is Forge AI and PvE AI modes. I don't know about you, but I wish Reach Firefight had a mode where you fight the UNSC as the Covenant.

      @@user-rd1zn7yr5z Wrong, Halo 5 uses a modified Halo 4 engine, which is a modded Reach engine, which is basically the second version of a modded Halo 3 engine,(the other was used to build Destiny concepts) which is an upgraded Halo 2 engine, which is a...Halo CE upgrade.
      Hell, even Halo Infinite uses Halo CE-5 assets and the engine is basically a heavily modded Halo 5 engine due to the amount of carried over code and files.

    the spartan laser probably can't be frozen because it's most likely not a projectile at all. It's probably a Hitscan weapon. Hitscan weapons are essentially instant, the moment you click, the bullet hits where you're aiming. A lot of games use this method, such as Source Engine games like Half Life, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2, and games such as Doom and Quake.

    Can you kill the flood spores on Cold storage and would they attack you or turn you after you kill yourself there as spartan or elite? As we have mcc on pc he could turn off Guardians and go through barier.And i know the flood spores are real as you can block them with wall when in forge mode u take a Wall and change physics to phased u can move it through glass.They are not like flood tank in tube.
