Subject: Armor Lock Thread

Yes, yet ANOTHER AL thread. But, this is different, I promise!

In the beginning AL was a novelty, something new and interesting. "You mean I can be invincible AND knock shields out AND destroy vehicles effortlessly?" Then we all quickly realized it's nothing more than a spammable, cheap tactic used to unfairly keep the user alive. Things like shedding grenades, blocking swords, and using it for cheap beatdowns are just a handful of the annoying tactics we've witnessed (and possibly used).

Here is an up-to-date list of all the AA's available in H4

Notice whats missing? You guessed it. AL.

Unfortunatly, it seems that map-breaking AA jetpack will be staying, but that's another thread. However, this to me shows that 343i has been listening to feedback, and rather than 'fixing' the already unfixable Reach, they've poured resources into making H4, dare I say it, a good game.

I hope you have a flame suit because you're going to need it.

As long as AL is gone I can be submersed naked in boiling lava and not have a care in the world.

This is quite the thread you have their OP.

Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

Translation..

Jetpacks make me have to look up more than I'm used to....it sucks.

Valid points on the AL.
Since you seem to be well aware of it's abilites.... what is your problem with it? To difficult for you to deal with? Are you so much of a 'competitive' that you can't handle a noob in armor lock?

replace armor lock with shield.....WHEW!.

GREAT WORK GUYS! LETS CALL IT A YEAR! or TWO!

It shows me that 343 listens to whiney little nitpickers is all. The dumbest bunch of nitpickers to grace armchair developers around the world.

I hate armor lock because I was forced to use it as I typically engage in CQC combat. Either your don't use it and get your ass handed to you by everyone with armor lock (bro, can you turn around so I can see your AA?) or you use it and stoop down to a lower level.

I won't be getting Halo 4 most likely, but if I do, it better not be infested with any bastard tactics like AL.
