Subject: About Armor Lock nerf?

I had gotten excited when I read that Armor Lock had gotten nerfed, but I've been playing for a while and I don't see a difference. Is it me or...?

Irrelevant.

It did get nerfed for sure. You can no longer survive a Sticky Grenade using AL.(I have experienced this firsthand) It also doesnt not last as long as it orginally did with original Reach settings. Regards.

I'm just asking something, if you can't answer my questions then move on.

That's the thing, I was playing in Team Slayer before, and I stuck someone and he did survive using Armor Lock, that's why I was surprised.

Really? Well I could be mistaken. Make it is the TU or Anniversary settings only? I was playing Damnation - Anniversary when I died while locked, with a sticky. I have also see video gameplay of this very thing happening to others. I will pay more attention on games I play to see if I can get extra info on the topic. Regards.

Does it still have a 360 view when you're using it?

My kd has to do with Armor Lock how? I just wanted to clear up my confusion. I'm not one of those people who's obsessed about kd in a game, I have a life.

effect only happens in the updated playlists. i dont believe team slayer was updated but im pretty sure squad slayer was but there was never AL there to begin with so im not sure.

WTF is nerf? are you to retarded to speak simple english?


Nerf: to weaken.
Also, you didn't capitalize the first letter of a new sentence nor did you use the word "to" in the proper context, teacher.


Anyways, the armor lock nerf includes:

-If you get stuck with a grenade and go into armor lock, you still die.
-The damage that you take while in armor lock takes a toll on how long you can stay in armor lock. If someone armor locks and I start shooting at them, they will be forced to get out of armor lock faster than they would if they weren't being shot at.
