Subject: Why Armor lock is bad.


Posted by: Azzwhoopen
Armour lock is awesome. People depend on grenades and melee because they lack gunskill, so they are really easy to kill when you counter that.
true dat, true dat.

another AL thread? you can play TU reach playlists where armor lock is useless. and i doubt it will be in h4. and people spam nades like no tomo and suck with guns or aiming so why should they get a cheap kill?

They got rid of it because it made armor lock stupid and way too powerful. It still protects you from everything else so wat is big deal?

The only time I even think about Armor Lock is for splatter defense. Even that is overpowered in my opinion. I don't really care much for AA besides Sprint, although I find Hologram to be very useful.

As for playing against people using Armor Lock, it's not aggravating to me that much. I find most people hardly use it properly and a majority of them just come out of it to die immediately.

This. They don't usually give me a problem but as long as I pop them in the face (preferably before the swarms show up) then i'm satisfied. It's like training a dog, do it enough times and they'll learn.

If it was meant for splatter resistance then I think it should have been a one shot like drop shield, lasting about 1 second then charging for 4 or 5. Enough to get rid of something imminent but not for lasting an ice age in a gunfight.

Based on campaigns.

I only use armour lock for defence against grenade spammers

Grenade spammers are more noobish than AL. I only use it as a way of escaping an even noobier tactic

armor lock was the only defense against stick's now that they got rid of it stick's are over powered cause you have now defense to it. every weapon needs a
counter weapon/defense 343 is ruining halo reach.

There is a defense to it though. It's called don't run straight at your enemy you -blam-tard.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

Always up for REACH customs!

If they stuck you, they deserve their kill.

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.
