Just pointing it out there, on neoGAF frankie said that the term was coined by someone attempting to interpret the UI.
tada.
Well I just got a lot happier.
Yay! That suddenly made me much happier.
same. Im hoping people will see this and cease the mass suicides, until at least they explain themselves.
Now everyone can be the happy, shiny people they were meant to be once again.
Uh, I’m pretty sure having different armor do different things would be perks, just like how they named classes loadouts and said they weren’t the same yet they are, it really doesn’t change that.
Just because they aren’t calling them perks doesn’t make them not perks.
Armor will change how your character plays on a fundamental level. They DID say that.
Link…
Perks could just be another word for armor abilities. We all know sprint is back, how is to say that new or old armor abilities aren’t introduced. Even then, the “perks” aren’t even something to worry about. The thing of concern, atleast for me and a lot of the community, is the customizable loadouts with a progression system. Sounds alot like CoD to me, not a Halo game.
So even though they work like perks, it’s ok simply because they are called something else?
Fanboy logic…

This.
No one can say for sure if there will be armor abilities or not but I am hoping for the latter.

What i MEANT if you used your brain was that i assumed that there wasent going to be anything of that sort, meaning there wasen’t a name for it. Until someone links me to where they said armor will change how you play, im standing by it
Well im happy 
Well im happy
Still waiting for SOMEONE to link where they said that armor will effect gameplay.
and that is not necessarily perks, meaning if thats it, there might not be game progression unlocks, etc
Perks, upgrades, extras, whatever you call them, I’m rooting for some change.
