Subject: Why all the Armor Lock hate?

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Maybe Maybe not you also look like a retard in the process Smart One. Life Check LOL


Words cannot express how incredibly mentally inept you are. I can only assume that you are the by-product of at least three generations of inbreeding. Tell me little boy, is your mommy daddy's sister?
D-Did he just say... life check?


I- I do believe he did. He wouldn't be far from the truth, though honestly. Between work, paramedic school, my girlfriend, and a little exercise here and there, I really don't have much of a social life. The last social outing I went to was like two weeks ago. I went to the bar with my co-workers after one of our guys' funeral.

It doesn't delay anything if you know how to use it. It prevents it. Armor Lock is really good if you don't rush into the middle of four people and lock down.


it is a bad idea to do that but once in a while you still survive. i was in AL with one guy with a sword and two guys with guns around me and i killed them all

How is that be any different than charging a plasma pistol, and taking a one shot kill from a BR/DMR? That's been happening forever, and is probably more annoying than AL, since it usually happens from so far away, you have no chance to defend it.


The thing is though, PP overcharge moves embarrassingly slow in Reach. If you're getting hit with the good ol' "noob combo" more than every once in a blue moon, you're probably doing something wrong.

2:30 on in that video... looks pretty beastly to me... he didn't even charge one of those up the whole way and it still took the shields down.



Well yeah, but we're talking about overcharge. You said nothing about rapid-fire. Everyone knows (or should know) that plasma pistol rapid-fire is godly in Reach.

Like I said, overcharge moves ridiculously slow. I haven't been hit by one in a long time, and there have been many, many attempts made.

And if I have to say this one more time, I swear I'm going to have an aneurism:

I (AND THE OTHER COMPLAINERS) HAVE NO ISSUES COUNTERING ARMOR LOCK. ARMOR LOCKERS ARE BEYOND EASY TO KILL, REGARDLESS OF RANGE. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT ISN'T INCREDIBLY ANNOYING AND IN NO WAY MAKES IT A GOOD GAMEPLAY ELEMENT, HENCE WHY WE COMPLAIN.

lol thanks. My eyesight is really bad though. No joke. It makes me sad that I can't be as good in Reach as I want to be :/

I don't suck on purpose. I have an actual reason as to my 0.80 K/D.

I <3 Halo:Reach - amazingly fun and best campaign + amazing Soundtrack
I <3 Halo 3:ODST - best soundtrack + Firefight + Coastal Highway and Mombassa Streets, amazingly unique campaign.
I <3 Halo 3 - best multiplayer levels + Forge + best Custom Games + soundtrack
I <3 Halo 2 - amazing huge fun campaign + soundtrack + Fun multiplayer
I <3 Halo: CE - started it all

The only thing that i really just hate about Halo:Reach is Armorlock. Its not about "if you wait, you can kill him" Its about the fact the guy just stops his death right there, and about 70% of the time, another enemy is coming at me, so while he locks up with no health, im sitting there in thirdperson with my deadbody.

Not to mention they can turn there camera, EMP vehicles, EMP you, Blow up vehicle, stun you if you punch them, and for about .5 of a second, they can shoot out of Armorlock when coming out of it, but the effects of ti are still on them.

The ability is just so unbalanced, and stupid. Im perfectly fine with active camo, and jetpack, and sprint, but Armorlock? Just take it out of Halo:Reach. having an option to0 live when you should have died is just insanely stupid.

If you ever played against a full team of armor lockers, you would understand why we hate it.

Even when its just one guy with armor lock, they're rarely ever alone. They almost always have a teammate nearby that can chase you away.

Baton courtesy; service with a smile

what is really bull-blam!- is that people armor lock right before they die and as you wait...one of their team mates comes behind you and assassinates you...granted...it is a good distraction....but most people armor lock up when they are close to death....it is kind of funny because they can't win either way

I equate it to pressing the pause button during 4 player LAN parties.

A good analogy.

Last member of the i4Ni clan.

Armor lock is also buggy. Several times I've stuck an enemy, had them immediately go into armor lock, then the plasma grenade flies off them and kills me. Like, actually launches off them.

  • 02.04.2012 10:38 PM PDT

cause it denies nade spammers kills and they dont like it.

I use coup 5
Never Played halo 1 = Invalid opinion
Bloom isn't whats broken, its your idea of what good is and your opinion
Thats like saying uber nerf armor lock because like 20 percent of the community hates it. Oh wait..................

Actually armor lock does not delay death. not once in the beta or any other time ever in any circumstanced ranged or cqc have i ever used armor lock and failed to kill when i popped out.

True story I love the thing. Its the win button and i have no problem using it. In the event it were totally removed it wouldn't matter. Id still beat you Al just gives the added ability to troll the guy that you know your going to kill anyway.
