Armor lock 187

Armor lock should return in halo 4.
armor lock was a perfect way to balance invis, sprint and jetpack, without armor lock the game will be horribly unbalanced.

“face nuke”

I really hope you are not trying to be serious. Brace yourself.

AL…can R.I.P I have ZERO desire to see it ever return. The annoyance level of that particular AA was astronomical to me.

Nope.

NO

Prepare for a lot of incoherent rambling about how terrible armor lock is…

Armor lock only existed because the jump height was pathetic. And needle rifle was op.

i know armor lock can be a bit annoying to deal with. but hear me out please, armor lock added a level of strategy to the game. You have to agree that armor lock is very easy to counter and it took a lot of power out of those who ran around using the double beatdown

Armor lock I think this is a troll thread, here come on this ability has been of much argument for so long now.

Just remove it so we can move on and make overpriced t shirts that say armor lock a bad idea.

Nope.

> Nope.

This video is always hilarious.

Double Face nuke.

NO!

I know people don’t like AL but still, it was easy to counter

All along I was saying that armor lock would of been better if it only shielded ONE side of the Spartan, not made them invincible. Now look at what happened…

> Armor lock only existed because the jump height was pathetic. And needle rifle was op.

… could you connect those dots for me?

Anyway, I think armour lock wasn’t an issue of balance so much as an issue of poor fit. I’m not sure how fitting hardlight shields are, though they’re less dominant. I tend to think that armour abilities should add peripheral benefits to your killing and surviving faculties, not direct benefits. The result of including those elements is a change of pace that becomes compared. Armour lock slowed down the game, no matter what else can be said about it. That’s problem enough that I wouldn’t like to see it again.
