AL saves you from mistakes you made. Such as pushing the guy with rockets, or sitting in the middle of the battlefield and getting shot by everyone else on the other team.
Apart from using Sprint/Evade to retreat to cover before dying, using Active Camo to hiding in a corner from a pursuing enemy, using Jetpack to fly to safer positions, or using Drop Shield to deny a rocket or recover your health?

Sure Armor Lock can save your life, as can all the other armor abilities. If your attacking a guy with the rocket launcher and you use Armor Lock to survive the rocket, it is being used as a weapon to defeat your enemy. In terms of confrontation, its no different then using the sniper rifle to kill your opponent with one headshot or using EMP effects to disable a vehicle. Its a piece of equipment your opponent has thatll turn the tides in their favor. All armor abilities have their strengths and weakness.

The tactics the player chooses to use dictate the effectiveness of that armor ability. Its merely another gadget to use to win.

That would be perfectly fine if the AAs were more balanced, like being pick-ups only. But since you can die over and over and can spawn with those annoying AAs all the time, it creates an issue with the game.

The fact that you have the ability to counter a rocket off-spawn should of never seen the light of day.

Seeing as how broad and undefined of a word "balanced" is on these forums, thats something no one can argue for or against unless you can explain what exactly consider "balanced".

That would be perfectly fine if the AAs were more balanced, like being pick-ups only.Plus, are there not playlists that do exactly that?

MLG is the only playlist that does that.

Every single pummel I have is unboosted.
I play GGL. (Grifball)
I hit inheritor 14/1/12. 16 months after release. I have a life fellas.
Every single killionaire I have is unboosted. 22 from grifball, 4 from LD.

Arguement breakerrrrr! The timeline of AA for a person.
AL: Made for Recruits - Colonels so they can lower their K/D.
Sprint: Made for Colonel G1 - Legends so they get rebuilt that K/D after they lost it, realising AL is a burden.
Evade (formerly): Made for Legends and up. Something that used to build up K/D at crazy rates UNTIL 343I REMOVED IT :(

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

The Worst? Definitely Hologram. They're easy to catch on to and don't serve a great purpose. Armor Lock, anyone who says its the worst either cannot use it, or cannot counter it so they complain.

EDIT: Let me add to my previous statement: AAs other than Sprint should have never been made spawn-worthy. Picking up each AA would have made the gameplay similar to Halo 3, and it would have been cool to see how Jetpack is sought after.

I usually counter Armor Lock by using it myself. Nothing is better than popping into it a moment after your opponent does and playing a game of "Who can use it more effectively". Additionally, the AA is next to worthless at long range because you're stuck in the open.

It's actually the most effective AA, so I don't classify it as the "Worst". It may be the worst in terms of balance and flow, but can save your life. So, yes, it's extremely dirty, but can be countered (difficult).

Why the hell is armor lock the most picked? its just extremely annoying.

If you rage when you die because of it that's your problem just call the armor locker out to your teammates and thats the end of that.

At the end of the game the win is the only thing that matters.

JETPACK is easily the worst, with active camo being a close second.

But the kid defending armor lock by saying its balanced please leave.

I am good at using armor lock, i hate it when the noobs choose it just to survive a nade or 2, i voted Active Cameo just cuz of how anoying it is to be stroling along with your team mates and have and invisible sword or shotgun troll jump out.

The way you explained it to me, you're not countering AL at all, you're just avoiding it.

I'll ask you again, how do you counter pre-tu AL.

At the risk of sounding like a jerk, countering usually IS avoiding and changing tactics. Someone pops into armor lock, back away and wait them out. Toss grenades to force the player to try and run or to attempt to prolong their lives, allowing you to prepare for the break, have a teammate around you to use as a distraction, or work together. There are many ways to counter, avoid and defeat armor lockers.

The important part is in bold.

Once someone is in pre-tu AL, there is nothing you can do but wait, or find someone else.
You're not countering AL, you're simply avoiding it or waiting for it to end.
Once it ended, you are no longer countering AL.


General definition of counter, as provided by the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
"a : to act in opposition to : oppose"



The best way to kill someone that has the AL AA, is to kill them before they have a chance to use it.
