ah right.. hologram I knew I forgot one.. I'd say thats below armor lock and above sprint / jetpack.. its a very tricky ability even if you know its coming
also, I thought this was nifty
How can hologram be better than sprint with its limited uses? I swear to god its very, very hard to fool me with it.

Three Scenarios I know where it works very well.
When a larger fire fight is going on and someone tosses out a hologram. I've seen an entire team concentrate for the first few seconds on it while they got waylaid by the real people. I think this alone makes Hologram very useful.
And when someone else is using Camo, and if you aren't paying attention I've seen people run after a Hologram while the real person is behind the corner.
Probably the best thing I've used it for is simply as a scout/decoy. If you wonder where people are or are afraid to go around a corner simply use Hologram to run around it. I've seen people many times give they're position away by shooting at a Hologram. It is also very helpful for Snipers. You can park it out on a ridge and hide and when someone tries to take it out snipe them from a hiding place.
The coolest thing I've ever seen though came from my little brother. He made himself look like he was the Hologram and ran for the guy. The person assumed he was the Hologram and focused on the actual Hologram while my brother ran to him and beat him down. It was quite funny.
And I'm not saying Hologram is better than Sprint I'm saying every AA ability when used right is very dangerous. Just because you do not fall for Holograms often doesn't mean I haven't seen hundreds of others fall for it.

Only times I get distracted with holo is when I'm drunk or in the middle of some chaotic madness like multi team king of the hill. Though I ain't going to flat out say its crap. Also I don't think it can be used as a shield. It may seem like the bullets are stopped by the holo, but they go through. I watched a test in a mythbuster reach video. In fact I feel like posting some of those. They are always good for laughs and a few "Oh so that is why"

I love the campaign in this game but the multiplayer is lacking a bit IMO. All of the levels came straight out of the single player which seems a bit lazy, and they're not really all that good. Plus, vehicles get destroyed WAY too easily. since when can bullets blow up tanks? I play BTB all the time and one of the most irritating things is trying to use a vehicle during elite slayer. Every single person has a plasma pistol, and one overcharge = death.
This is a small complaint but why can zombies roll in infection? The whole fun of playing zombies is that they aren't as powerful but slowly build in numbers until they overwhelm the survivors. Making them more powerful than the spartans to begin with ruins this.
I still play it all the time, but these things just annoy me. <end bitchy rant>
forge world is awesome though
Infection needs lots of tweaks and overall sucks. Zombies need the roll though. Otherwise it is so easy to snipe them with the pistol while they are defenseless. However they need to fix their bulltrue shenanigan. If you manage to get a bulltrue you shouldn't die. Matters get worse when you actually betray the zombie when you die. WTF
I have no problem with the maps being from campaign and viceversa.
I love playing noobs. SO Im playing RP and me and some noob are tied at 23. I gain the lead but fly too high, fall and kill myself. Lose a point and at the same time he gains the lead. As soon as I respawn I run a bit and see said noob battling some other noob. I killed him, I killed who he is battling and win the game.
Why is that? Because you can no longer comfortobly sitback and rack them kills eh? It was really useful when the scorpion tank was in hemorrage. It kept the tank humble since there were no rockets in the map. Besides its not like the sniper will just one-shoot you. He has to spend at least 4 bullets and he has to be wary of another sniper blowing his head off or you sniping him from across the map with the scorpz.

Because a sniper rifle shouldn't be able to blow a tank up?
I no longer get in vehicles on that map since I realised we could do this. As long as I have a sniper rifle with me or something, I'm good against everything apparently, even a tank. The marine from Halo 3 was wrong, tank does NOT beat everything.
