Subject: What do you think of armor lock

stiil people have a chance to live and eeeeeewwwww

  • 03.20.2012 3:44 PM PDT

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.

No. Good players know when to back down and let their teammates clean up the kill. They also don't just stand still waiting for him to come out of armor lock. If you're out in the open where a sniper can easily pick you off, you're doing it wrong.

Don't put yourself in a position where you need it. If you are in a position where you have to armor lock to have a chance of surviving, you deserved to die anyway. You made a mistake. Armor lock, if anything, only serves to discourage learning from your mistakes.

but what if you did get in that situation everyone has much rather have it then nothing

I'd much rather not get in that situation in the first place, especially considering that armor lock doesn't help against good players.

  • 03.20.2012 3:58 PM PDT

This is SPARTA!!!

i love it

i don't use it, but it's really easy to kill someone in it
All you have to do is stand back and right when he's about to blast throw a grenade, but don't do it before the blast or after he comes out you wanna get him right when he comes out and he is standing and can't move.

so yeah everyone keep using armor lock it's not that hard to kill you

seeeeeeee it works both ways lol

Here's what I'm getting from this thread.

We have a horrible AL scrub, who is the best amongst his friend's list of AL scrubs.

Proving, once again, that only scrubs like/use/behold AL.

The real question is, why do -blam!- players try to pimp AL?

I only use it to break out of a Banshee spawn trap. Other than that, it's not even useful to a good player.

Agreed, other than anti-ghost and revenant its pretty uselss,most of the time when you use it the other team gathers and waits, or if someones played enough they time a grenade so it explodes when you come out. Really the only way it will save you is if your teammates help you out.

Opinions are like butholes. Everyone's got one, nobody wants to hear about it.

AL is retarded and is used only by thumbless players.

I got so use to not playing where you always find player using it that you realize how awful it is and not needed in any playlist.

I find armor lock useful in firefight when the "catch" skull is on to defend against annoying plasma grenades (especially in gruntpoc), but other than that it seems useless.
