So this would be a good way to stay clear of the Melee fests close-quarters combat in Halo often turns into. Kick will launch the kicked player a few meters away, inflicting on them a minor amount of damage.
As a bonus if you kick someone out of the map, they get kicked from the game. The AA shows up as a large extra metal boot on your foot.

In-canon, those 2 was actually make sense. The sprint is done by putting the muscle accelerators or something on temporary override. Armor lock is somewhat similar to sprint. It locks up the shield. See, a Spartan can have as much shielding as he/she wants. But the thicker the shield, the harder it is to move.
I do have an issue with evade though. I just don’t see it working in Canon…

AL overloads the shielding causing an EMP effect. Sprint, supposedly, removes the restrictions on the armour to allow the user to run faster. That is one of the many cases of a poor attempt at creating a canon justification for something that is only a gameplay element.
And I thought crysis is gimmicky, but seriously that would be extremely over powered even as a pickup and to spawn with a god cannon that can make someone leave the game is crazy
Look there will not be AA in Halo 4, it was explained that all that tech died when Reach got glassed, that’s how they explained the reason for nothing like that in Halo CE. Something along the lines of equipment could be there but no chance one of them will be “Kick”.
