How are Armor Lock and Jetpack the worst? Arent they the most effective and useful?



Jetpack, AKA, break any map control on any map with the push of a button.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Before TU, AL; after TU, Jetpack.

My response to the title is that there's a reason you see 70% of the players using armor lock in playlists like Big Team Battle.

AL in BTB is not as frustrating and disliked compared to AL in Team Slayer.

  • 04.16.2012 7:06 PM PDT

All the AA's are immensely stupid, jetpack is probably the worst though. Easily one of the biggest crutches for bad players in the game.

I know I was just using that as an example of how it's the noobs go to ability, seeing as there are many of them in that playlist. It isn't close to as annoying there seeing as there are many powerful weapons/vehicles to take it down in a couple seconds.

AL is so bad. At least Jetpack is easier to deal with.

IMO AL is the worst AA out there.

AL in any other playlist made me rage beside BTB.

I learned to adapt AL n00bs and focus on killing their teammates and shift my attention to armor locker, killing them then i have the pleasure of teabagging every time now.
In btb i used to try and splatter them all the time and i would get destroyed.... I shoot to see if they're going into AL or not before i splatter :P

I don't see why the hate for Jetpack, Yeah it breaks map control, I see them as flying birds that need to be shot down.
But it gets you to good place and maintain map control if you know what you're doing.

Playing against tryhards who know how to abuse jetpack is infinitely worse than your typical retard random using AL.

  • 04.17.2012 5:23 AM PDT

In my opinion, Armour Lock, then Camo, then Jetpack. The other four are not too bad but can get annoying at times.

They are. That is why people dont like them. They dont like anything that is a challenge or makes them think about how to counter it. Instead they decide to hate it and say it slows down the game because they are too used to just running and gunning with no tactics at all.

But I have to say that i dont see any AA as the worst. Everyone has their own preference. I like using AL and the Jetpack (but i only use AL when people decide to whore the power weapons) and my friend LOVES using the Hologram. I just think everyone has their own thing. What one AA works for one person, it wont work well for the other person.

Call me Stu

Hologram is the worst

also most effective tactic is usually the most hated one. (points to armour lock and jetpack)

All AA's have their disadvantages:


AL - You go into AL, protecting yourself, but you can't move.

Jetpack - Easy targets for people with Lasers, Pistols, Snipers, Focus Rifles, DMR's ... Anything with a scope.

Bubbleshield - Killtacular + Splatter Spree. Need I say more?

Hologram - Gives away your position.

Sprint - Heavy breathing. Can easily tell if someone is rushing up from behind to assassinate you.

Camo - Scrambles both friendly and enemy MT's.

Evade - Can overshoot your targets/destination.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Armor Lock is fun but it was not balanced well.
