Subject: Armor Lock is the Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread

"Angry Angels, Honour & Loyalty!"

Its called Irony.

I mean, I use AL, all the time, (been hated for that half my life, too), but its not a miracle worker for itself.

And I was addressing the OP.

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

I feel like Iron Man every time I use armour lock to demolish an oncoming vehicle.

It will never stop being awesome.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Call me a noob if you want, but i actually use Armour Lock for one reason only, to avoid grenade spammers.

Seriously, I hate grenade spammers so much more that Armour Lockers.

Baton courtesy; service with a smile

I would say that the only time armor lock is good for is stopping people from splattering you on BTB but apart from that i never use the thing

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

Agreed

This can apply to everyone if you let a little Armor Lock into your life.

People still get butthurt over armor lock..?
Ya cause it's ridiculous.

I think armor lock is a good armor ability that may be slightly overpowered in traditional Reach, and slightly underpowered in TU setting. I mean having it drain when shot is a good idea, but it drains too quickly IMO in TU settings, but honestly all the armor abilities have balancing issues that I'd change.

Sprint is fair but I think everyone should be able to use it, and have a second armor ability, because as it is sprint is just used to get to the power weapons or vehicles first, and it is rarely used for it's original purpose, to flee or get into combat more quickly to help allies.

Camo doesn't need a reduced battery, it needs to keep players from aiming down sights. Cloaked snipers are the biggest problem with that armor ability so an easy fix is just to keep players from looking down the gun's scope, it kinda makes sense since it IS invisible, right?

Armor lock; well just see above.

Hologram is really underpowered IMO, it should show a red name over the head, because right now it's just a dead give away as to a holograms presense when it runs towards you without a red name, and I think it should also show up as a red, and not a white dot on the motion sensor as that is still a big tell (should still appear white on teammate motion sensors though) Since these changes would improve the holograms functionality I think its recharge time should be increased to maybe 12 seconds, from 7, and keep in mind, it still runs straight forward, it still doesn't cast a shawdow, it still flickers when shot so I think this just makes it good, without being OP.

Then there's jetpack, which I'd argue is fair, but alot of so called "pros" argue it ruins map balance, so I say jetpacking should cause max bloom for all weapons but otherwise keep it as is.

Evade is great on elites but Spartans evade too far in one go, so I'd knock their evade distance down to elite levels. Would certainly help in infection when zombies can't do 50 foot evades at 100 mph.

And drop shield is good, but I wish plasma weapons destroyed it about twice as fast, vehicle plasma weapons aren't included in this damage increase though, because that way you might then have a reason to pick up a plasma weapon in spartan BTB, as currently the long range engagements leave their slow moving shots almost useless.


Jeez that was longer than I thought, well that's my rant on how armor abilities should be fixed........ I'm done.

You took this way too seriously. But I appreciate your input.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I think I hate you now (the kango kid).

The only way armor lock would be good is if they got rid of the emp feature, put in something like the bleedthrough in the TU for all games, or destroy armor lock.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

That's nice.
