My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

The only people who have problems with Armour Lock are people who can't deal with it.


No. This has been explained thousands of times before. Armor lock is not a good mechanic for gameplay - especially not for a spawning ability.

I <3 Halo:Reach - amazingly fun and best campaign + amazing Soundtrack
I <3 Halo 3:ODST - best soundtrack + Firefight + Coastal Highway and Mombassa Streets, amazingly unique campaign.
I <3 Halo 3 - best multiplayer levels + Forge + best Custom Games + soundtrack
I <3 Halo 2 - amazing huge fun campaign + soundtrack + Fun multiplayer
I <3 Halo: CE - started it all

I truthfully mean this, Armorlock Is the ONLY thing that pisses me off in this game. I really do wish they remove it. I believe Sprint, Jetpack, Hologram and everything else is fine, but really? An Ability that lets someone live when they should have died, and letting them turn right towards you when they get out of armorlock, and them still being invincible for the first second out of armorlock, is just so flawed.

Squad Slayer doesn't have Armor Lock and never has had it. What's the problem?

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

"Hardcore" Halo fans aren't the only ones that hate Armor Lock.

I've been around since Halo:CE, long before Halo 2 was ever announced. Guess what, I don't care about Armour Lock. All he is doing is putting his death off for a few seconds and giving me more time to get into a better position or recharge shields etc.

Armour Lock hurts the person using it far more than anyone else unless of course you're bad and can't deal with Armour Lock.


I agree with this but you cant tell me its not extremely frustrating when his temmates come in and safe is a**. Not much you can do about that when you just were in a battle then two people out number you while his jacka** sits there in armor lock.

That's Arena. It's shorter in Squad with a party of 5.

Much shorter.

Really thats your response...obviously everyone has teammates but when you just won the 1v1 battle and some dick goes into armor lock waits for his teammates and you get killed im sorry thats bulls**t. No other AA allows you to wait for your teammates to save your a** 1v1 battle.

So again, you're acting like it's only the Armour Locker that has team mates...

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

Really do you not get what I'm saying the aa of armor lock saves your a** by letting you wait for teammates to save you. Not that its not okay to have teamwork but to have armor lock save you when you just lost 1v1 is quite frustrating.

I've seen that a lot of people complain about aa. But I'm wondering if just armor lock disappeared if people would get over a lot of the other aa and classify reach as a satisfying game? I personally use sprint and wouldn't want that removed from the game the rest I could do without but in the end only hate armor lock. Wondering what everyone thinks no armor lock = a good halo game? (Also I personally am not a reach hater I like the game but not a fan of armor lock, having someone come save your a** doesn't show skill.


get rid of all AAs
get rid of exp ranking system and replace it with 1-50
