it does, it's called the EMP mines (kills vehicles majorly) and EMP grenades (freeze vehicles) and EMP strike (same as the nade).
good luck :D

If this is being implimented, I know where the blast can come from... the EMP-like blasts on Two Betrayals when you have to disable the generators. (Unless it's being done from scratch, of course.)
Custom effects ftw. I'll do the damage and projectile tagging if someone else does the effects and such.
I was messing around in gmax and got an idea.
What if me make an EMP field emitter, which is mounted on a hog or something, but has to be parked in order to function?
I don't know if it's possible to make it have a depleting power source, but it sound like a must to me.
Imagine, hiding such an emitter somewhere (maybe even select a mode: bring down shields completely, remodulate shields, jitter...) and let the other team try to find it.
Just toying around with ideas....
Gonna teach myself some gmax now.
You mean like making a new gametype wher 1 team has to disable the bomb or something?If not, then what do you mean?
too over Powered in my opinion, disabling an entire Teams shield as soon as they spawn is to much.
i dunno if i commented :\ but i like the idea of an EMP weapon, but it needs to take up a weapon slot and shouldnt affect vehicles so it wont be insanely overpowered. no stunning just brings downs sheilds, would be a great team tactic weapon IMO.
I don't mean to bring down an entire teams shield as soon as they spawn.
The idea is kind of a game type concerning chief117 question.
I can't really work out the specifics right now as it sound to complicated in my head...
The bomb and the device I talked about are not one in the same, the bomb can be used to overwhelm an opposition tactically, and the device is kind of a strategic weapon.
Anyhow, I have no idea as to what extent Halo game types can be modified.
Actually, a lot of people have thought of this. I did it in a multiplayer map once out of boredom, just gave a plasma grenade a 30 second timer, a huge blast radius, so much stun you could barely move, and enough damage to bring shields down and nothing else. Deleted all the spawns except one in the caves, and changed max capacity to 1. Instant non modeled or skinned EMP bomb.
Nice idea.. Make it Blue!!one11!
No little wave that can be seen? Just an unnoticeable EMP? I would at least have that transparent wavy effect.
