How is an ignorant person such as yourself a mythic member? I mean honestly. Armor lock sucks and no one likes it except the people who just love second chances because they are bad.

343 Industries are going to give Reach a title update.

Soon the game shall cater for you.

Isn't armor lock in only 2 or 3 game modes now?

Hmmmm....



You might as well remove death from Halo all together, so people will stop complaining about what kills them/ beats them.

Stats have no part in this argument, neither do stereotypes of bad players or excuses over your own deaths.

I must admit, saying adapt is quite fun.

Lets talk about something positive for once...

God, I hope. If so, I'll be a 343 fanboy. Hell, I already am just due to the fact that they're actually making Halo 4 instead of stupid spinoff stories.

No, see, you have it flip-flopped; it's only not available in 2 or 3 playlists.

To be fair, no one posts in positive threads. A guestimated 90% of all hot-topics are complaints. If people hate them so much, why do they continue to post in them (therefore bumping them, and therefore supporting them)?

True that. But it's usually because people get into length arguments, and when the topic reaches a certain size, it explodes, and everyone checks it out. I was one of those people, 1000 replies is a lot.

Complaint threads/negative threads explode with replies because a good amount of people can relate to the B.S. Or you get retards who go around on the forums all day who just say "aDaPt".

Hi.

It's because there's nothing to discuss in non-negative/non-complaint threads.

Example:

Thread title: Reach is awesome
Body: I love Reach.

Reply 1: I agree.
Reply 2: Nope
Reply 3: I agree.
Reply 4: ur dumb
Reply 5: Cool story bro
*Thread ends*

With threads like this one, you can actually have decent discussion taking place in them, which is a good thing, and also what this forum was designed for. Bungie doesn't care if you bash them or brown nose them; they have our money, that's it. They'll change what they feel is necessary (which is apparently nothing above playlist level-- laughable.)

It is annoying when people don't put forward logical or factually correct arguments.

But I guess we all have to adapt to their presence...

Actually no, M$ has our money, and they pay royalties to Bungie.

Hi.

You get the point.

We bought the game, we play the game. Nothing else matters, really.

I'm not bothered by armor lock that much, but I do hate sword block. It makes the energy sword practically useless. If they are going to keep sword block then they might as well replace the swords with gravity hammers.

I aggree about sword block. It makes no sense. The sword is made of superheated plasma. There is no way your fist is going to stop it from slicing you in half.

As for AL, i dont have much problem with it other then the occasional derp, like in that vid.

A simple solution for AL is to make it so a grenade can damage it (perhaps 20%-45%), and a power weapon (changes depending on the weapon) can collapse it. Everything else it is immune to.

For example, a sword would collapse the armor lock and set off an EMP, but wouldnt kill the person inside. Alternatively, since they were just forced out of armor lock, they need a recovery second as well, and cant simply instantly spin around and punch you in the face.

While a more rapid-fire weapon, such as a rocket launcher, would need two shots to force someone out of AL.

This is just my idea, and i've yet to see anyone suggest that only power weapons can cancle out AL. This way the power weapons are still power weapons, and AL still protects you from nearly everything else.



Edit: With sword block the sword is no longer considered a power weapon in my book.

I'm a 15 year old stuck in the middle of nowhere. Machinima director, screenplay writer, novelist, jazz musician, and Photoshop junkie.

There are plenty of playlists that don't have armor lock in them.

There's what, 2? 3? I think it's 3.

3 out of like 16.

Still, I don't feel like avoiding problems. If there's a nuclear spill in the middle of the country, you don't say "Oh, just don't go there."

Also, what about Sword Block?

Is there really only 2 or 3? My apologies. Well, at this rate I don't see armor lock ever being removed, so they could just group it into different playlists, or make different gametypes that simply don't have it. Armor lock isn't something that could cause serious repercussions throughout an entire ecosystem.

I've never had an issue with the sword block.
