Lately, in most of the games I’ve played, I haven’t really seen players using armor abilities. The only two AA I have really seen is the Jetpack and the Camouflage, and even those I don’t see very often. I’d maybe see one guy now and again using the Promethean Vision or the Autosentry, but the amount of times I see those is almost never. I personally use my Hologram all the time, and it has always helped me out of sticky situations, but I almost never see anyone else using them, both on my team and against me. Of course, this is just in the games I’VE been playing. So I ask the question:
Do you guys use your armor ability often? Do you see other people using them often?
In my opinion, Armor Abilities are right where they should be in the power scale of halo multiplayer. In reach, AAs controlled gameplay. Even more than skill in some situations, which was a major issue in Reach’s multiplayer. With Halo 4, AAs contribute to the overall gameplay experience. Skill (aiming and map control) and teamwork are what determine the outcome of the game again. Which is why I am loving Halo 4s Multiplayer, the skill gap is back.
