I absolutely love the Armor Effects and Death Effects 
The Armor Effects is just another way to express yourself to others. Which in some ways can get you killed more depending on which one you are using.
The Death Effects is a new way TB your enemy but in a fast upright way. Just like the Assassinations where in other Halo titles. Which I can’t wait for 343 to add them into this game.
Having the option to turn off the effect from enemy players defeats the purpose of having them in the game. When people get kills it gives them a sense of excitement and reward at the same time which makes the game more enjoyable and fun for everyone.
Now to be honest when I see people posts something of this nature I feel like those people hate it the most because
- Dying constantly
- Don’t own any effects
- They want the same old thing repeatedly with every Halo game.
Which is ok but in order for Halo to stay around it needs to grow or it will be left in the past like other game before.
