Moveable cover : FPS / MMORPG / RTS Discussion

Find a medium sized crate, such as an empty Forerunner gas container or a UNSC (Marines) helmet, body armor, gas mask, or boots crate. Hide behind it when under enemy fire. Due to the fact that most enemies aim for the torso, they cannot hit you, but will still fire on you because they can see your head. You can hit this cover to move it to safely advance on the enemy, while not getting shot. However, there are exceptions. Flood infection forms (small skittering Flood) will go over your improvised cover. Flood combat forms (Mutated Marines and Elites) without guns will either swat your cover away or go around it. Flood carrier forms (bulbous exploding Flood) will either detonate in front of your cover or go around it. Grunts are not tall enough to see you and Berserk Brutes will do the same as gunless Combat Forms. Drones also present problems, as they will fly over and simply fire on you from behind. Note: Shoot both arms off a Flood Combat form and it will slowly walk forward and burst with no explosive damage' and most of the time, an infection form will skitter away from the area or attack you.
