fear me, for i am pro sauce

should 343i remove armour lock and invisibility and replace them with over-shield and active camo?

to me, giving 5 second(?) invincibility off spawn was a massive fail, it just halts game-play completely, i know walking away is an option but that's just a wasted opportunity. replacing armour lock with over-shield would help game-play and balance stuff out a bit, you never heard anyone complaining about over-shield in halo 3.

invisibility off spawn is almost more of a fail than invincibility, whenever i see people using invis, they are always crouching around with sword/shotgun/AR and just rush while you are searching for them in the mass of red dots on the radar. again, replacing invis with active camo would just help gameplay, no more crouching and going invisible when you want, you will have to fight for active camo to go crouching around.

TL:DR- replace armour lock and invis with over-shield and active camo to help gameplay

I would argue that Armour Lock was developed to be implemented in objective based playlists; as for camo, well, it's fine the way it is (which is the current camo changed by the TU), the only trouble people have is when it's used in conjunction with snipers.

Where do you get these silly ideas? Casuals players could never control those power-ups.

Think casual and get serious.

The best form of defence is offence.
Lets get offensive.

Bungie, don't own Halo Reach any more so firstly whining on here doesn't work. Secondly 343 are working on Halo 4, so stop whining about Halo Reach.

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

IMO, all AA's except Sprint and Evade shouldbe phased out, one by one, starting with Jetpack, followed by AL, then Camo, then Drop Shield, then Hologram, and then Evade should be put into all playlists, because it is superior to sprint.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

I can understand complaining about Armor Lock, but complaining about Active Camo is the most retarded thing since Beirut.

This is how it should have been, but lettuce think of it this way; armour lock is triggered by one button which is used to make a player both immobile and untouchable for a short period of time. It's an easy crutch for casual players to learn to use since it's just one button with one basic function, unlike evade which has two clicks to move in multiple directions (which to some people is hard for them to control their controller...something people on the forums may take for granted), camo which isn't incredibly effective while running or jetpack which is useless in small areas and makes some people go too high up. It's just the easiest thing to learn and also lets more players become confident with "getting in with the action" while knowing they have a safety option.

They need to return the AA's to pre-update. They're just useless beyond what they're meant to be for.

Armour lock is no longer fun and you lock your armour for what purpose? Shot through to deactivate and you can now be stuck? I understand the physics of a Plasma Grenade but it was fun to reject it as let it stick someone else. THAT WAS FUN! But people complaining of its overpowered nature forgot one thing.. The fact that its strong wasn't the weakness. The very FACT that you can a 360 degree view (which you could also see behind walks (WTF is that all about???) But you could pop out of Armour lock in any facing direction and melee the player right behind you instantly.. This removed would of made it much better.
And Invisibility seems to want you to crouch walk everywhere because you're not actually invisible and it runs out when you run in about 5 seconds. Pointless TU AA's. Pointless in a war game if you got to creep around the battlefield like you're scared.

343i already have a no loadout playlist. It's in Anniversary. All games starting with Anniversary are Halo 3 style pick up's. and TU is basically Halo Reach MP.

In my opinion and the opinion of Halo 4. Get rid of AA's. Spartan III's are dead. Reach was lost. FORGET AA's and let's return to what made Halo 3 epic.

what are you talking about? i just use it when i drink juice and eat so they wont bother me im all like: get of of me blam im trying to eat here and theyre like no we are going to wait for your armour lock to run out so make armour lock last longer.

maybe 5 - 10 minutes that gives me plenty of time to eat or drink my juice in peace.

  • 12.20.2011 5:30 AM PDT

yousosilly. the new AL in TU is better. you can knock them out of armor lock and stickies kill them when there stuck.

and thats the only way to make camo effective in this game. if you move at all your visible.

if anything camo needs a buff.
