Subject: Armor Lock: The bane of halo reach

Here is a recent scenario i encountered playing halo reach:
i was playing team slayer on sword base, and i was in a 1 on 1 DMR dual with some scrub......their team was 3 dead at the time and i managed to get him one shot: requiring one more shot to the head for the kill. Then what do you know, he goes into armor lock for 10 seconds or however long it lasts, which allowed enough time for his newly respawning teammates to come up the stairs behind me and triple team me. I was way better than all four players on the enemy team...they weren't even close to being on my level. Armor abilities like this take away the competitiveness, and also decrease the skill gap in almost every playlist. WHY DO THEY HAVE ARMOR LOCK!? IT RUINS THE GAME FOR GOOD PLAYERS!

Because hardly anyone good plays Reach anymore and those that are good and stayed, usually tend to stick to MLG, you know, the only playlist that actually plays like Halo.

Because have you seen how many bad players there are? They need it.

Try and stick to TU playlists. They have 85% bloom and armour lock is nerfed aswell as camo.

Super slayer is a good alternative.

and the worst part about the armor abilities.....is that its not going to go away in halo 4-talk about halo reach all over again

I completely disagree. Armor lock just makes it worse for the armor lock user. It just gives u 5 seconds to get ready to kill the armor lock guy when he comes out of armor lock. And nobody can respawn and then come up a fleet of sword base stairs and then triple team u in the duration of one armor lock. People who say armor abilities ruin the game get me angry. They just help because none of the armor abilities can actually kill someone. Btw h3 equipment example flare ruined the game more

"To me, a nice triple kill with the sniper is infinitely more impressive than any Living Dead Killionaire"

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?
