Spartan abilities: Difference between revisions

When leaping from an elevated position, Spartans can utilize their primary suit thrusters to aggressively launch a "ground pound", hammering any nearby enemies with concussive force. Before initiating the maneuver, stabilizers will momentarily engage while in air, giving time for the ability to charge and for the Spartan to aim before thrusting downwards. Ground Pound is capable of destroying damaged vehicles like the [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]]<ref>[https://twitter.com/JoshingtonState/status/592375988564033537 '''Josh Holmes on Twitter''': "Not w/ a single hit.
