Subject: Which is worse, Jetpack or AL?

Achieved a Killimanjaro twice in Halo 3 and got one in Reach. (It was Grifball but still counts!)

Armor lock. Jetpack isn't even a bad option to have as a powerup!

Why even bother, really?
I rage.

Jetpack is easily the worst thing in the Arena. Just played some decent kids on asylum that had two guy's using jetpack and two guys on foot, had to change to jetpack and we ended up winning by one.
It's sad but controlling ring in asylum is virtually impossible if two people are constantly going R3 and cleaning up any weak people in there.
If there's nobody on your team using/abusing jetpack in arena you're probably going to loose.
It's pretty annoying cause fixing it is as simple as removing the AA.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

See, the main problem is that the worse players don't understand how jetpack can be abused because they've never seen it. The poll will be biased towards AL because that's all they see abused because AL can be nothing BUT abused.

I never use Jetpack but I can use Armor lock to launch stuff.

I despise AL aside from its awesome launching abilities but I could care less about Jetpack in MM.

Jetpack easily. People get to places they shouldn't be able to, and ruin the point of cover by flying above it. Jetpackers piss me off immensely. Its bull-blam!- you can only counter it by using jetpack as well.

I prefer evade to both of them.

Armor Lock just pisses me off in all situations it is used in.

Jetpack, if used by good players, can -blam!- me off so much more than the armor lockers. Bad Jetpackers are easy though.

I jetpack zealot. You mad OP. Jetpack isn't bad sorry that you are not good enough to kill them before they get away. Same thing as sprinting away behind a corner when one shot.

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

Fundamentally, Jetpack.

AL annoys the -blam!- out of me, though.

This. Although to be clear, AL probably annoys him a lot more than it annoys me. I hardly ever see it any more. If I do it's usually just one player. Haven't seen a full party running AL in a while.

  • 02.27.2012 12:40 AM PDT

AL is more frustrating, but can only really be abused when there's a full team.

Jetpack is outright bs.


Jetpack, if used to its full extent, is far worse.

  • 02.27.2012 2:21 AM PDT

You can stick AL users in TU game types which is so awesome.

Which is worst?

More than one year passed, and ppl still complain about the vey same stuff...

Jetpack, a well timed grenade can render armor lock more of a disadvantage than an advantage. There really is no counter to a player using jetpack who has a good shot.


Good Teamwork I can hear where he is from across the map.

Happiness is a warm gun

At least AL doesn't ruin the flow of a map.

I think that Armor Lock is worse because it slows down gameplay. The Jet Pack is only annoying when people use it to get in places where you can't get without a Jet Pack, but at least it doesn't slow down gameplay by them being invincible for a few seconds.

Yes, it's been a whole year, and the aspects of this game which are terrible for good gameplay are still terrible for good gameplay.

Who woulda thunk it.

Also lol at negative Inheritor and Staff Cap'n.

If someone was to continuously -blam!- you for one year you would never stop complaining.
