Halo 4 Active Camo vs Pro Vision

[exaltedvanguard]

Active Camo and Promethian Vision have some interesting interactions. Just wondering if anyone's tested the full extent yet.

For reference, full-camo is when you're standing still, crouching, or moving slowly. Half-camo is when you're running.

Against full-camo with line of sight, PV gives a blue outline around the character. Although it's not a shocking red, it's still very noticeable.

Against full-camo without line of sight, PV does not see the the character.

Turning camo-off (even after the "scan wave" has passed) instantly causes PV to function normally. Full red with LoS, outlined red without.

How does PV work against half-camo with and without line of sight? Anyone know?

If standing still and you activate camo, still without moving, is there a delay on countering PV, or will you instantly disappear if they don't have LoS?

Just tested it. half-camo works against PV the same as full-camo. Sprinting or jumping will break it, but normal running is just fine.

If you camo as the wave on your motion tracker meets you, your opponent will just get a tiny glimpse of you. If you can camo far enough ahead, they'll never see you at all, though achieving this reaction speed in matchmaking probably won't happen (unless you're sitting in a corner just watching your tracker).

If you're using it to hide, them seeing you or not depends on if they happen to be looking at you when they activate it, since they'll have a quarter-second glimpse of you.

Good to know more of the details on the relationship between these two AAs. Thanks.
