Armor Lock


Take this out of the game already.

I bet 95% of the people that said armour lock acually use it..

80% of the people in this thread have clearly never played pre-S11 onyx-high Arena. A full team of people abusing jetpack is infinitely worse than AL, which is simply a minor inconvenience, not a game-changer.

Jetpack as a loadout, followed closely by Sprint.

Froma design perspective either Armour Lock or Camo takes the cake because of how much they slow the game down.

that is not proof. i am talking about showing me something where AL is legitimately broken and unfair. but you cant even do that, why? because you have no proof.


I guess I have nothing else better to do...

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. It delays your death for 5 seconds (enough for your shields to start recharging).

How is AL balanced, may I ask?


How is it balanced? quite simple actually. EVERYONE has the ability to use this AA. That is basically it.
Right here is where people get confused. You're thinking it's fair because of this reason, but just because everyone can choose to spawn with it doesn't mean it's balanced.


you have the ability to choose it throughout the entire match.
Okay...the ability ITSELF is not balanced, BUT it's EVENLY DISTRIBUTED and gives each player the option to use it each time they die or find it.

Balance is an even distribution...Harmony of design and proportion. The first part is probably what you are trying to say. You're correct to an extent, but in the manner you're trying to use it in your argument, you might as well use the word "fair" in place of that because Armor Lock is in no given way balanced and you're making it sound like armor lock is in harmony.

Fair is an accordance with the rules or standards and without cheating or trying to achieve unjust advantage: "He played fair".

Fair =/= balance


It is considered FAIR because it was put in the game for any player to use, BUT any given ability such as armor lock that gives you any sort of immunity will NEVER be balanced. Actually, armor lock contradicts the rules of fairness. It's put in the game, but it gives you immunity and there's nothing you can do against invincibility. So, to be honest, it isn't fair because you can't kill someone who is in an invulnerable state.

TL;DR - YOU CAN'T BEAT INVINCIBILITY, YOU CAN ONLY BEAT A PLAYER WHO IS IN A VULNERABLE STATE. YOU'RE AN IDIOT IF YOU CAN'T COMPREHEND THAT A PLAYER WHO EXITS ARMOR LOCK IS NO LONGER INVINCIBLE.

Active Camo is only good if you have a good weapon to sit in one spot with. I mean, you can't move more than a snail's pace or else you'll be spotted?
In my opinion, it's pretty mediocre. Even Armor Lock has more practical uses.

AC, AL, evade and jetpack.

Active Camo - When everyone uses it it just becomes plain annoying.

Armor Lock - Dude, you are just delaying your death, like a little baby.

Evade - Broken. Moves way too fast around the map and is incredibly abused in objective games.

Jetpack - Destroys map control.

What.

Active Camo.

Armor Lock isn't even that annoying to me now.

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

I'm tired of seeing anit-AA's thread's and posts. I happen to enjoy them. It's a new element that makes you think and play differently. Learn to adapt. I honestly believe the majority prefer AA's, the minority is just very vocal in their dislike.

  • 04.18.2012 11:34 PM PDT

honestl they all have great purposes in combat but id say armour lock

  • 04.19.2012 1:13 AM PDT

If by "worst" you mean annoying, then there are a few on my list, but if by "worst" you mean having no real use in the game, then drop shield is pretty useless.

I'm sorry, is my opinion wrong? You must clearly be right in every sense of your being, then.

The question was "What's the worst AA in your opinion?"

Dropshield is useful.
Helps you regenerate your health to 100% without healthpak even shields you from enemy fires temporary.

I understand where you are coming from. It can be useful in some situations. Just not very useful to me.

Almost every single AA is able to get you out of harms way, whether being in invincible in armorlock or running away with sprint, the drop shield is among those. I just think that having a destroyable bubble shield is pointless, anyone can enter it and it blows up very quickly after recieving a certain amount of damage.

But that's just my opinion.

I have adapted, better than you.
AAs are still a terrible addition to the Halo series and besides, how would you know? You never played the previous games.
