So what is everyone hated armor ability so far on halo 4.
For me it mostly Promethean Vision, since it kinda feel cheap on my angel…
I’d say Promethean Vision. It’s not really that bad, but it gets annoying when the entire enemy team has it.
Active Camo. The first 3 Halo games required you to run out and grab this a s apower up just like the oversheild, but now its free but you still gotta earn the overshild. PV is great because its the best counter against the corner camping boltshot stratagy
Everyone hates Active camo but I don’t understand why… it’s at the same level of all the other abilities, if not less…
I hate the thruster pack because of it being fun in campaign and then I go to Spartan Ops and it’s simply a fart in my armor’s exhaust ports.
PV really isn’t that bad. There is a reason that a person has a radar, and really the only good use of it is to weed out an invisible person…if he is in plain sight. I use the Regen Shield with AA Efficiency and it works great.
The most annoying AA to me is the jet pack. It just breaks boards, as a player shouldn’t be able to just fly and shoot. The hardlight shield can be annoying when you outgun someone and they just use it.
I honestly think they’re all balanced well.

true true, i mean come on i play a game of flood and always the human players end up using Promethean Vision each round and game i play, i mean should the human player just have Shield and Active Camouflage then having Promethean Vision well the flood have Thruster pack Promethean Vision and Active Camouflage (i know it already in game for the flood but why not take out the Promethean Vision for the human and put maybe Hologram)
PV

It may or may not be a glitch, but I hate it when the user can use Active Camo without having the radar jammer on.
There have been many times when I thought a room was clear only to turn around to be assassinated by someone in a darker corner hiding in plain sight with Active Camo. I’ve checked and the radar jammer doesn’t appear.
Heck, I’ve even been snuck up on infront of me, all of a sudden I’d see that Boltshot charge glow and I’m dead.
Hardlight shield, Making me get behind them to kill sometimes lol.
Promethean Vision, its a stupid idea to let people see through walls.
And
Regeneration, it shouldn’t have been brought back because it really makes no sense for something to be trying to bring someone’s shields back up while I’m trying to take them down. It makes horrible game play, and I thought it was clearly in the “NEVER AGAIN” trash can with armor lock, but 343 Industries knows that I enjoy that limited game play even though I myself don’t know what I want.
For me it’s active camo, I hate the fact that you can’t see them on you’re radar, but they can see you on theirs. So hard to counter it and it’s just plain annoying when you’re in a vehicle and some guy puts it on and boards you without a problem.
It’s definitely Active Camo. Whether or not this is a glitch or somehow part of the AA, I don’t know, but numerous times I’ve encountered users and the radar jamming didn’t occur. So basically, they’re completely invisible on all fronts. That’s downright cheap.
Active Camo.
I don’t mind PV at all.
i hate active camo. it’s so annoying when people camp with a sniper while in camo
I don’t mind any of them that much, they are all a little toned down from Reach. None of them really offers too much of an upside without having a built in issue that detracts from its usefulness. The only thing I had an issue with was the active camo glitch, but I think that got fixed with the last patch?
> Promethean Vision, its a stupid idea to let people see through walls.
This is why you run the Stealth package. Not only does it prevent the enemy with vision from seeing you (provided you are behind a wall, else if you’re in the open you appear as a yellow outline) they assume nobody is in the room they are entering, giving you quite the surprise advantage.
I don’t think any of the armor abilities are a big crutch or anything. But I guess if I’d have to say that which annoys me most (and also the one I use the most) is jetpack just for the vertical advantages it can give. Not to say it has its downsides, though.
Likewise Promethean Vision…
Though I have found Active Camo to be a bit frustrating at times.
For those who hate hard light shield: wow, then you must really hate jackals which can use them and SHOOT from them.
For those who hate active camo: It’s been around since halo 2, and if it was actual camo, then nothing should appear on your radar at all.
For those who hate pro vision: Being able to see enemies through walls…isn’t that…radar?
What do I hate? Regen field. It was a poor replacement for the drop shield, which in turn was a poor replacement for the bubble shield.
I also hate the fact that the auto turret is practically useless, as it dies within five rifle shots.
