I just had a discussion which i more or less lost

in part because i was talking to 5 people at once.

I ignored most of the old armor lock hater threads and chances are this has been brought up before but

Could we just make armor lock a pickup and stop all the hatred

I never seen the point of AL at all. Not complaining but it wouldn't work either way.

  • 01.02.2012 3:43 PM PDT

AL would still be -blam!-.

Im one of the few people that think its alright but i could go for it being a pickup.

Nope. Then people would rush the AL.

but then how is that different for rush to the tank on boneyard or rush the neutral sticky launcher in hemorage

It would probably have to be nuetral

I don't think AA pick-ups have been tested on big wide open spaces I very much doubt they would work on Hemmorhage and on other BTB maps, whilst in MLG setting they have worked for the current maps.

so they would need to be placed on maps with mid to short range combat then?

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

True. We wouldn't want all the pro kids having to fight for the ability to jetpack up into ridiculous crevices or camo snipe, would we?

Spawning with AAs just makes a mess of the game, anyway. I see no conceivable way that pickups would not be superior in any gametype, so long as they were placed in appropriate locations.

At least then using the ghost in BTB wouldn't be suicide as much as it is now. And we would have never had the arena team armor lock problem. Of course now we have Arena team Jetpack.

No, BTB + armor lock pickups = massive improvement.

no. Armor lock only being a pickup in BTB would be good. Much better than spawning with it and making the ghost's only useful method of attack useless.

Armor Lock (hell, essentially any AA) as a pickup is an improvement to everything.

One of the main ways to control player movement aside from weapons was Overshileds and Active Camo in Halo 3. It worked well.Also, the difference from rushing Tank or Stickies is that if both teams rush Tank well, it will either be jacked and destroyed in 2 seconds or a DMR battle will occur with the rightful winner taking the tank. Stickies in Hemmorhage are the same because the winner of the DMR battle wins the prize. AL as a pickup wouldn't work also because the second someone got to it half a second before someone else, they could armor lock to nullify all the grenades that would undoubtedly be spammed. Nice idea, and I like the spirit of powerups on map, but AL would not work at all as one.
