The problem with Icarus armor?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

343 Industries just posted this. Says anyone using the Icarus armor in HCS will be disqualified; didn’t say why, only that the problem was neither with the hitbox size or the helmet (just the armor), but that it is giving players an unfair advantage somehow. They weren’t very clear on that; just that it was related to audio/visual effects somehow.

Does anyone know what this could possibly be? There’s a lot of players running around in Icarus armor in regular Halo 5 these days… how does this affect ordinary players?

-Sniper Rifle doesn’t appear on back when not in use
-does not produce thruster sound effects when sprinting and such

That’s what I’ve heard on the forums.

There is already a thread on this here.
