HR: Armor Abilities - Active Camo

Basic description: Makes player absolutely invisible and jams enemy radar by generating lots of false red dots. Player's own radar is also jammed, but teammates' radar is not. Moving quickly, shooting and/or taking fire will reduce the invisibility effect as well making the effect fade more quickly. Crouch walking allows player to stay fully invisible and extends the effect. Can be toggled on and off using action button, do not have to hold down to stay invisible. Available to Spartans and Elites.

Restrictions: Can not hold any objective items (will drop bombs or flags), can not be in vehicles. Sound is heavily muffled while using active camo.

Uses: Good for holding territories, defending spaces, sneaking into enemy territory. Pairs well with Energy Sword because sword is invisible in Reach as well.

Counter: Find a team mate to pair with to light up the camo player and keep them visible under fire. Jetpack away from the area or somewhere inaccessible on foot. Remember that the camo player has their radar jammed as well, so will be unable to track you without line of sight. Because the camo player has muffled sound, they may not hear grenades or weapon fire.
