What do you guys think is the best armour ability? For me its the Hologram, as 343 got it perfect.
I use defensive abilities the most.
bubble shield in H3
armorlock & dropshield in Reach
hardlight & regeneration field in H4
but my favorite is armorlock.
Camo, Jet pack, Promethean vision, and Hologram. Halo 4
Evade, Camo, Jet pack, and Hologram. Reach
Halo 3: Active Camo, Bubble Shield
Halo 4: Active Camo, Pro-Vision
Halo Reach: Active Camo, Armor Lock, Drop Shield, Hologram
Jetpack. It essentially allows players to get to higher ground much faster than without it, helps eliminate the use of certain paths to get from point A to point B, and gives “temporary high ground” when in combat against grounded players, allowing for easier headshots and making it easier to out-maneuver said grounded players. Plus any cover without a roof becomes less effective against a jetpacker.
Downside is that it makes the user an open target depending on the map terrain. Oh and its effectiveness drops in low-roof areas.

lol, and the Snipers will shoot the birds out of the sky. I tend to do that alot but i have to say, its pretty useful on Small maps, b/c of players using the AR. I may start using it.
Armor Lock
No really, I use the Hard Light Shield all the time.
Surprised to see thruster pack in the lead… i rarely encounter it in my games.
i voted hologram… you can do so much with it, most important being you can learn something about your enemies. Even if enemies don’t take the bait, you know more about your opponent than they know about you.
Jet pack was a close second… so many opponents get twisted because they can’t look up 
Overall, I’d say Promethean Vision has the most utility of them all.
I still use Hologram a fair bit (although not as much as I used to) but I’ve started using the TP a lot more recently.
That being said, it is highly situational. You won’t catch me without my HLS or Regen Field in a BTB match, as most other abilities are useless on larger maps.
I love me some thruster pack.
The thruster pack is my fave because of how easily it is to confuse enemies. I used to love hologram in Reach but now not so much.

I know. i thought it sucked b/c of the Thruster Packs distance. I liked it in Flood, but sent me over the cliff quite a few times. But in a regular slayer game, it was short. Was it recently buffed or something?

I used it once, b/c i wanted to see if that so-called, “Holo-Hump” happens and it did. I stopped using it, b/c i was more comfortable with Active Camo.
Equipment, its single use and you dont spawn with it.

I have a feeling that if equipment was in 4, you would spawn with it.

I voted Thruster pack because of the very useful tricks & jumps you can use because of it. Easier ninja kills, aborting gravity lift jumps on haven, tricking an opponent. All very useful once you get the hang of it.

Yeah…personally, i like that over the Evade back in reach, b/c its perfect for dodging grenades, shots, and splatters. Yet, I want to ask, since you use it, was the Thruster Packs length increased in Slayer? I may go back into using it in Inf Slayer or Rumble Pit. Hopefully its as long, but not too long like the one used in Flood.
thruster -Yoink- yeah lot of uses
confuse people, throw a plasma and quick do a thrust to some side and enemys normally don’t react to ur throw, ninjas, some escape jumps and the glitch to unstick plasma grenades.
u gotta love thrust
jetpack on vertical levels, PV for corridor levels (haven, adrift), camo for BTB campin, and hologram because lol
i wish thruster went 2x the distance or had two uses per button press. so a tap would get you a meter or so, a full press would go 4-5
Thruster Pack, greatest AA in the game.
