As long as you can use it too it's balanced (technically).

Let me rephrase that for you...

As long as everyone can use it, it's fair.

It's fair because everyone can do it, but it's not balanced because sword block is connection dependent, while Armor Lock grants invincibility.

Personally, to be honest, invincibility should never be in an FPS game because no matter what you do to it, in Reach's case you're sacrificing mobility, you are still in a state of invincibility and invincibility can't be balanced, no matter what you do to it.

As for Sword Block, that should only be Sword vs. Sword or Hammer vs. Sword, but not bare hands vs. sword.


Any sort of ability that allows you to become invincible will never be balanced.

Bla bla bla, it's no longer super easy to get kills with power weapons, and the game works better than before with team work, bla bla bla, I hate it.

Poor baby.
Bla bla bla rockets in Reach are the easiest weapon in any FPS ever.

Ummmm... Bull-blam!-
Have you ever seen someone play borderlands and have some skill at modding... a lvl 1 can take out a lvl 72 Final boss like its a freaking toy... Its kinda funny to watch actauly...

You were totally and absolutely correct in every way, I don't know why we were arguing, you're so amazing I should never have doubted you.

Crawmerax isn't the final boss, he's a bonus boss in a DLC. DERP.

Also, it's because Rockets are so easy to use that they're fought over. The skill is not in using them but in obtaining them. That's the purpose of a power weapon.

343 hasn't officially stated that these features will not be in Halo 4.

Hmmm... 343 is patching Reach!

Maybe they'll remove this garbage.

Halo fanboy.

Like the OP said, AL is an abomination. If the community makes enough noise, maybe 343 will do something about it.

The ONLY way sword block would make sense is if it destroyed the gun you used to block it with. If it can cut through a spartans energy shield AND armor in 1 blow, then how can it magically be defeated by the forearm/rifle of an enemy?

And Armor Lock? Not even gonna go there.

I'm pretty sure he won the game 50-15. He's most likely not mad.
He's better than you in every way, shape, and form
A patch will be rolling out to fix this horrible, horrible game very soon. People like the OP have influenced this patch.

You're OP was used to counter-act the super awesome adapt argument. It isn't working. Unless I've mistaken and you're post doen't refer to the godlike reference to the word adapt.

Oh wait, that's just me being nitpicky. Carry on.

Once 343 is in charge you'll be noticing a lot less need to adapt to broken windows by wearing jackets.
