What is taking so -Yoink!- long I’m sick to hell of joining these games that I can barely play because it thinks a uk to us connection is going to be good.
Simple as this fix this -Yoink- 343 you will never be bungie. Bungie would have had this problem fixed on release!
While I do feel bad for your situation, since it was a terrible mistake on 343i’s part that is inexcusable, it’s very highly unprobable that 343i will do anything to fix this issue in Halo 4. Odds are that the team are hard at work on Halo Xbox One and that the support for Halo 4 is diminishing to only be about keeping the playlists running and fixing glitches caused by the Champions Bundle.
However, don’t go insulting 343i by comparing them to Bungie. While I don’t excuse the lack of such feature or of a fix, do keep in mind that Bungie refused to do anything to fix Reach after its release. They aren’t the perfect angels you seem to claim them to be.
I’m willing to bet that this does not get fixed and I can guarantee you that the game will have a much short life span if it does not.
Just played a game where I had more lag than than bullets only one winning was the damn host.
It has been a problem since day one 343i and just to put this into perspective a little bit. They have had 295 Days 21 Hours 59 minutes to fix such a problem and yet they do nothing and even refuse to accept that lag/region is a problem.
Bungie fixed reach in a lot less time than that and for one thing I say this again they listen to the community where 343I do not give a flying -Yoink-.

Because Bungie couldn’t do anything to fix Reach, they were in the process of handing over the franchise to Microsoft and breaking away from them.
They also did update Reach via the playlists and gametypes.

It is not broken.

The fact you can get Plasma Grenades off you and destroy vehicles, it is

So having something that stops the noob/last grenade throw is a bad thing by what you are saying. Plus it can only really destory them if you ram straight into someone unless you are damaged and they armor lock on top of your vehicle.

They created playlists without it and playlists that was balanced with it. Also can’t predict how abusive players can be.
It was also originally created because the loud minority would never accept the idea of trying to balance the reasons why it exists like increasing the fuse timer for grenades or preventing spawnkilling via simple options.

No, but how frequent it is is ridiculous
It destroyed a Wraith, why is that fair?
What about how it lets you be invincible?
How you can take someone’s shields down with it?
Besides the fact that halo reach multiplayer is far better than halo 4 multiplayer. 343 need to get -Yoink- fixed.

Is this just a go and see how much you can plug youtube videos?
Ok then what would you rather have armor lock or halo 4 barely used Regeneration Field?

You are right, having preference over one multiplayer game to another is all based on opinion. But since Halo 4 doesn’t have a simple option that allows me to play the actual game, I’m using that as a dot point for Reach being better then 4.
> Ok then what would you rather have armor lock or halo 4 barely used Regeneration Field?
I’d rather Reach have Regen as an ability to recover health (not shields) and that gametypes were designed around health rather then trying to pretend it doesn’t exist.
Would require more teamwork if the med packs were removed and the team would need someone to help keep them alive. Actually been designing some Reach gametypes that do just that.

Nope fact until they make the lag/region filter.

I’m proving a point
I’d rather have Active Camo then Armour Lock, and I hate Active Camo as an AA, so Regen Field, 100%

See a system like that I miss the lovely little health packs from halo 1/reach.
But that all around is a good idea making that regen useful since I think I have only seen it used maybe twice in h4.

Oh trust me, I love the search options and they should of been in Halo 4 but acting like opinion is fact is wrong

Proving a point by showing videos that where before any patches yeah that works.
I have to agree with you on the active camo as an AA is one hell of a bad idea it should be a pickup or ordnance drop not as an AA. But still armor lock is a good ability when used right and any decent player can counter it easy.
