What do you think is the most abused armor ability in multiplayer matchmaking?

NOTE: I am not including Dropshield, since it only exists in Invasion and not in most playlists.

How can I help you?

Armour Lock, obviously.
It has been abused to be a crutch for bad players.
If it had originally been implemented correctly, it may have been bearable.

I don't think it is the most abused actually. it was poorly implemented to where its actually just annoying and disrupts the flow of gameplay. Not to mention grenade shedding. I personally think Jetpack is the most abused since it destroys map control in nearly all playlists.

Active camo to use use snipers and shotguns. Armour lock merely stops people getting the cheap jump on people and means either they can unlock and it comes down to shooting skill and shot placement. I do think it should force it to deactivate per 1/2 of the bar charge, so you can lock twice but you unlock and can't sit there as long.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Jetpack. Holy hell can that break a map.

AL - Players don't need second chances.

Jetpack - Destroys map control. You can also gain height and get a drop on someone who is oblivious to your presence.

I don't see why people think armor lock is a terrible armor ability. All of the armor abilities are fun to use. The most abused armor ability might as well be sprint because people use the most annoying tactics with it.

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

Obviously its Hologram. It gives you a new teammate that can pilot your Hog for you or steal the other teams Sniper.

Oops, I was accidentally talking about the Hologram in Halo 6. Sorry about that.

Play against Gamesager and then tell me that. Kids like you won't even break out of spawn.

You don't understand how high-level gameplay works in Reach, so shut the hell up.
