As far as we know, the only abilities their are would be Prometheian vision, hard light shield, hologram and thruster pack.
Prometheian vision- PV gives you the ability to see enemies through walls and how 343 formatted PV it’s balanced and still effective (my opinion)- PV will make you feel like somewhat like a predator, hunting down enemies, but PV might be overused by the grenade spammers, knowing where exactly their victim is, over all its an ability used by the lone wolf and tactical players.
Hard Light shield- HLS gives you the ability to pull up a shield blocking on-coming bullets giving a defensive advantage (my opinion)- just like armor lock, HLS last for a quick second but you can still move around. the HLS can be weakened like the plasma covers in the campain, it only covers your front side and while deployed there is no way to attack (vehicle resistance idk)
Hologram- not much to say about it, when hologram was introduced in reach it never was effective and only fooled noobs. In gameplay, the hologram shows like it can counter the Prometheian vision looking like an actual person. looks like hologram is going to be more effective.
thruster pack- my personal favorate, exactly like evade only able to go forward.
You left out Active Camo, and Jetpack. I’m sure there will be plenty more that we don’t know about too.

Here you can see you can go backwards.

Neither have been confirmed.
I wonder how hard light sheild will hold up against grenades.
you forgot Jetpack (seen) and Active Camo (confirmed)
and two others… (but I understand why you “forgot”)
also, Thruster Pack goes fowards, backwards, and side ways. I think it can go up also, though not sure about that.

What are you talking about? They’ve been SEEN in countless screenshots and videos. Where have you been?
@DEATHCHA both times you see the thruster (0:33 and 1:51) they go forward
> thruster pack- my personal favorate, exactly like evade only able to go forward.
It can go in every horizontal direction.

I haven’t seen any videos with them in it so my apoligies.
PV lets you see trough walls, but it doesn’t really gives much of an advantage. You will see the enemy on the radar anyway. It’s mostly effective against campers. I see PV working much better on bigger maps as you and your enemies don’t stand around the corner, being visible to radar. If your enemy sees you on your radar, then PV has no point IMO.
Hardlight Shield isn’t really like armor lock. It gives you protection, but only on one side, and the shield can be destroyed. Attacks from the side help too and I doubt the shield stands a chance against a well tossed grenade.
Hologram is a simple distraction and it does it’s role as an armor ability just perfectly. 
Now Thruster packs. Everything about this armor ability is fine, except for the Flash part. But I don’t know if that is confirmed but I remember seeing it in a video. Can somebody confirm the Flashbang effect of the TP?

You really need catching up to do.
Jetpack
Notice how the thruster pack is red, but the jetpack is blue.
I can’t find the active camo video, but I remember seeing it and all the speculation about how it doesn’t fade when you move and how’s it’s perfect camo even when you move.

No, that’s just some people that think the forge video in which a player trait field was given an active camo effect is representative of the armour ability.

I’m kinda suprised they’re putting jetpack in.
Active camo is a must though, and my opinion on the reach camo is this it had two weaknesses fading while moving and the radar jammer, sure the radar jammer goes both ways but if the enemy sees it they’ll start looking and chances are the guy in active camo is killed. So why not have one drawback for active camo.
I’d rather play against someone using the HLS than someone using AL. AL was just the most noob, unskilled, unfair thing in the world. No one should be able to cheat death and wait for their teammates to bail them out. Or to just cheat death pop out of AL EMPing you and making you at a disadvantage and clos to death when you should have a kill in the first place. At least with HLS you can attack from sides and back. Bounce grenades under the shield. And melee through the shield. And it can be damaged and destroyed and is not invinsible. This is much more preferable than AL.
Thruster pack seems like a weaker version of evade…
PV I wasn’t open for at first but I’m okay with it now I guess I might use it,
Active Camo will probably be like Reach’s
Jet Packs are kind of annoying in Matchmaking but it’ll probably be like Reach’s.
Other abilities that have been rumored but not confirmed I don’t know anything about them…
There are a total of 4 armor abilities that have either been seen or mentioned, yet are not confirmed to be in the game anymore. Jetpack, active camo, auto-sentry, and regeneration field are all armor abilities that have either been mentioned or seen in gameplay.
However, It is quite possible that some or all of these have been removed from the game in the last few months. We only heard of them in very early builds, and no other information has been given. It is also possible that they are all campaign exclusive armor abilities, like the campaign exclusive equipment of halo 3. This is what I’m guessing.
Or perhaps they are in multiplayer as well, but not available unlockables in war games. This would make the most sense, as none of these abilities really fit into competitive multiplayer in their current form. If they were options to place in forge or spawn with in custom games, then they could make some gametypes more fun, as well as keep matchmaking simple and more fair.
