IMPROVED HOLOGRAM EQUIPMENT

Armor abilities seem like a possibility with the introduction of Grapple Hook and Deployable cover.
I've always been a fan of Reach's hologram armor ability and it's hilarious when you're able to trick someone and get an advantage.
However it doesn't take long to figure out if it's a hologram by looking at it's predictable behavior and narrow walking.
If Holograms get re-introduced into Halo I think it's behavior should completely mimic a player. Have the Hologram actually walk toward the nearest enemy player and shoot at the player without actually hurting them. It'd be a perfect diversion and make holograms worth using again.

I think the abilities have been clarified to be more of equipment pick ups than armour abilities.

Though that doesn’t rule out the Hologram returning.

I agree if it were to return it needs to be improved, any player with a decent amount of time in game can tell a hologram apart from a normal player in Halo Reach & Halo 4. They’re too basic.

A hologram that interacts with the environment in a more natural way would definitely increase the usefulness of the ability for sure.

The only thing that gives away the hologram is that the gamertag is not shown above the hologram, I did not like it, I prefer the Bubble Shield to return.
