Why are people -Yoinking!- all the time and calling all useful AA op
first it was PV “oh it’s op, it’s unfair” you have a radar.
Then it was HLS then jetpack now auto sentry. Just stop already you complainers sound stupid. All AA’s give you an advantage but it is also balanced. I think AA’s in Halo 4 will bring excitement and I can wait to use them.
Needed to get that off my chest. 
Because they haven’t used it for themselves, it’s only natural for someone to be skeptical/worried about something they haven’t tried.
I like the AA that lets me drop the flag
I think the truster pack needs a buff.
Nobody is complaining about Hologram…
Anyways, everybody can share his/her opinion, no matter what.
AA’s in and of themseleves have been very unbalanced, and made the game very random.
Halo use to be Perfectly balanced. Everyone had the same thing and the matches were even. That is until one team or the other fought and won power weapons. Now people start with all sorts of different advantages, and it makes the game very frustrating and overall random.
Jetpack ruins map design
Camo is nooby
Sprint is unnecessary
Auto-turret is a stupid idea
Promethian Vision is overpowered
Thruster pack is underpowered
Hardlight shield is frustrating
And hologram is just right!
Did I miss anything?

facepalm am I alone here? AA’s are rock, paper,scissors. jetpack leaves you open and you can’t go high anymore. PV sucks too me well not sucky but not that useful unless you have no radar

Read all of the threads you’re complaining about. Hopefully, they’ll enlighten you.
Ok look at it like this, let’s go to H3. You have equipment bubble sheild? Was it annoying to you? I liked it. Regenation field, liked it power drainer, liked it. Most people didn’t have a problem with these. Some AA’S are a variation of them that you can start with and everyone including you have them so what’s the problem.
(on a side note wouldn’t it be kinda cool if AA’s were pickups)

I have they don’t make sense. PV is not that good, jetpack is a or was a death trap HLS is no better than bubble shield actually worst. Auto sentry leaves you open, camo probably should be pickup though. The rest are fine.

Annoying in ranked matches. I don’t think Halo3 needed them personally.
I’m fine with AA (especially for customs) so long as there is a large classic or ranked section without AA. But the chances of this are narrowing.
People have always complained about jetpack. Yes, it is notorious for breaking maps, but I think it just makes the enemy a whole lot easier to kill. Also, isn’t it being toned down from Reach’s version?
Jetpack and promethean vision appear to be dwarfing all others; I haven’t heard much about hologram, thruster pack, or the saiyan field.
Hologram was always useless, and probably still will be.
Thruster pack is the evade replacement esentially.
Sprint seems to be a staple now in FPS’s, so I don’t care about it.
Hardlight shield will be much easier to deal with than Yoink! armor lock, but it could still be frustrating.
Auto turret and active camo are the only armor abilities in Halo 4 I’m concerned about.

Jetpack?

This is easy.
In previous Halos, at the start of the match I knew I was going to run into a guy with two grenades and the same starting weapon as me. Every other power up we wanted we would have to fight for strategically, and skillfully about the map.
Now, I have no clue what im going to run into. I have no clue if it will be an entire team of camo users, jetpacks, someone with a shield, and any crazy assortment of other things that Halo use to never have. People use to have to setup and plan for getting camo. Now players can camp a bush and use it every 30 seconds. Players use to try and make stealthy moves, but now people will be able to see them through walls which is obviously a limited idea.
Like I said before in a thread. Im buying Halo simply because of the name HALO. I have not the slightest want to play this game. I will play. I will be great at it, and I also will hate it and throw the dam thing with the rest of my junk games after a month.
EDIT: They have a -Yoinking!- Regeneration Field Armor? I literally learned of it this very second! What kind of -Yoink- -Yoinking!- Yoink! game are they producing here?@!!?!?
Im gunna rage. Halo is -Yoinked!-!

Agreed
Meh

Opinion of someone who hasn’t played

Atleast back up you opinions with some reasoning other than regurgitating everything you’ve read in other threads please.
Actually most of the AAs aren’t OP.
Hardlight shield won’t defend you against splatters, or big explosions. Only weapon fire, and if there is enough of that, your hardlight shield will pop.
Auto Sentry is a defensive AA. It won’t pick up kills easily, if at all. Slow rate of fire, not much damage, takes time to deploy, easily destroyed.
Jetpack is supposedly nerfed. Rate of ascension is lower than Reach. Longer recharge. Drains quicker. (This is what I hear)
Camo drains quicker, recharges slower. (This one may still be OP, but I disagree with picking camo as an AA altogether)
Hologram is actually beefed up since Reach. (I found it quite useless in Reach) The hologram shows up on Radar, it actually looks solid until you shoot at it and it can fool Promethean vision (This is what I hear).
Promethean Vision (I hear) takes longer to outline the entire map, takes longer to recharge than the E3 build. Is only really useful for close range.
Regen, haven’t seen it in use really all that well, I’m worried about this one actually.
Thruster pack instead of first person, you zoom to third. So you’ll have to readjust after using it, so using it in the middle of a battle may not be the wisest move.
Am I forgetting any?

thank you. I have heard from people that played H4 and used all AA’s and they say it feel good and jetpack is toned down. I seen a few people getting killed for falling for hologram lol. People are acting like they will be disadvantage when they won’t be.
