In another interview, this time with IGN, Itagaki again discusses the female Spartan character, Nicole. Most interesting is her ability to use trademark Halo techniques like active camoflauge, rendering her nearly invisible for a short period, and sticky plasma grenades. On deciding to include them he offers, "...it's just cool to have her attach a plasma grenade and have you blow up, or have her turn invisible using the active camouflage. Those kind of things just add to the fun, and add more depth, making her character more interesting."
The question competetive gamers have is, "Won't the camo be cheap?" to which he responds, "Right now, one of the final things we're deciding is whether or not to allow the active camouflage in Online competitive play. At this point, we're tentatively thinking of not allowing it for Online play because we don't want anyone to be accused of being cheap." With the 360's new repuatation system, you don't want people calling you cheap.
