I personally like Evade. It is the most balanced, and can easily be countered, yet when used right it can devastate.

The Halo series was my first and favorite FPS series.
I enjoy most games throughout all systems despite what some people say.

Oh, and on the forums, I tell it like it is, like it or not.

Sprint. Without it, you move to slow.

Sprint. Only because you're so goddamn slow in this game.

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

Sprint. Get's you out of trouble quickly, and earlier to objectives or to help your buds.

Illogical reason.

>Remove Sprint
>Increase Default movement speed

Two makes there more than speakers.

Balance and Armor Ability don't go well in the same sentence.

OT: There are a lot of things to take into consideration.

  • 03.12.2012 12:41 PM PDT

I think evade is the most useful. Same with sprint.

The rest are kind of meh, imo.
-jet pack and AL only really have one situation in which they are handy.
-Camo and drop shield are just lame.

That change won't happen. I'd trade sprint for faster default speed though.

Armor Lock

/thread

Armour Lock - Mostly useless, just delays the inevitable.

Hologram - Can be useful in certain situations, usually isn't.

Sprint - Should've been a base ability for everyone.

Evade - Good, if not overpowering.

Jet Pack - Majorly overpowered, pretty much the best ability. Ruins high ground control, disorients enemies, can be used for stealth attacks, etc.

Invisibility - The invisibility isn't that good, but it's free so I guess this one is balanced, lasts a bit too long.

Drop shield - Haven't used it, but the concept seems alright,

Missing any?

Evade is the best.
That's why they removed it from most playlists now.

  • 03.12.2012 2:23 PM PDT

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

Hologram 100% - it doesn't invalidate skillful gameplay, and doesn't require stupid movement speed nerfs to be effective.
That's why I think this should get the DMR ZB-ified and replace Slayer Pro.

  • 03.12.2012 2:49 PM PDT

~ Videogames are my favorite videogames ~

Overall best is Evade. It has no downsides compared to all the others.

But my favorite is probably Jetpack, but mostly for the looks of having a bulky backpack on my spartan.

Evade.

That's a sentence fragment... lol

  • 03.12.2012 2:57 PM PDT

Sprint - allows one to reach critical weapons quicker/first, jump longer distances, and escape battles. imo, the best one (I use this 99% of the time in matchmaking and have had great success)

Armor Lock - good if you like to rely on your teammates to bail you out or avoid 1-hit-KOs, but not really useful otherwise

Invisibility - good for camping/hiding/sniping, but experienced players closeby will still be able to find you/your general position

Hologram - besides the hologram trick, it is completely useless against decent players (unless you just want them to waste ammo)

Jet Pack - allows one to change elevation/jup obstacles quickly to avoid/do damage and to reach critical weapons first/faster. Unfortunately, many maps are not suited of flying, unless you want to make yourself an easy target for precision weapons.

Evade - good for quick escapes in tight areas, but in the open, the opponent can easily kill you

Drop Shield - great protection against med/long range attacks,
but not really useful otherwise
