It doesn't matter now.
I just feel well-assured that Halo 4 will not have Armor Abilities, considering all the controversy it has caused.
You can go ahead and argue all you want about how my statement may not be true, but smart game developers don't place entities that have mixed opinions on the said entities in the sequel game.
You are incorrect.
Capcom kept X-Factor for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 when it was widely talked out against in tournament play in Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
And Capcom is a very smart developer studio.
out of interest, why did they decide to keep it around?
Because instead of just removing it they tried to balance it so that it would be more acceptable.
That's what a good developer should do.
The only times you should out right remove something is if it a) can't fit within your scope of the game, b) don't have the time for it, c) can't fix bugs it creates (crashes, etc), or d) can't balance it well enough to make it worth using but not overpowered.
Armor Lock was not balanced well in my eyes, but it certainly does not fall under D either because while it was very strong in instances, in the overall picture of the game it had enough of a weakness to remain. It's just the weaknesses weren't weak enough.
