Armor lock was the only thing wrong with Halo Reach, it needed the TU and was the only reason for the TU, i still cannot understand 343’s decision to not make it a universal nerf, the AA needs it badly and Bungie was stupid enough not to nerf the damn thing.
I hate the TU Bloom settings which makes me not want to play the TU playlists but the vanilla armor lock ruins team slayer all together.
Vanilla & TU are separate game styles, some people prefer Vanilla, some prefer TU.
The AL nerf will never go universal.

Most of tha T1meZ iPlay Vanillaz 
Armour Lock should not be nerfed, it should be cut out of the armour ability selection of every gametype. It was a garbage idea and it should not even be in the game. Eliminate it completely.

Achievements are tied to Armour Lock, it isn’t an option.

This, plus there a players that actually like using AL. Think, for every person that complains about AL is an opposite AL user. Just because you came here to voice your disdain for it doesn’t mean they should take it away from those that do like it.
I agree. It’s over-powered, abused, and often a game ruiner. Of course those who take advantage of its exploit have no problem with it, but 343, you should finish what you started.
You even took Armor Lock out of Halo 4, because you knew it was bad for gameplay. So at least Nerf it like you promised you would!!

They did nerf it, but only in the TU playlists, it really should be applied to every where in the game.
Dont worry fellas (and ladies) the big bad meanies that use AL will only be a bad memory starting November 6th. Then we can all find something else that other people use to kill us that is unfair and overpowered.
make it global already.
> make it global already.
Won’t ever be happening.
Like Moa mentioned above. They cannot remove it as much as I would dearly love them for it. It has achievements tied to it.

That’s a shame.

we are talking about reducing not removing

I think it was aimed at the guy asking for its removal.

It shouldn’t have been touched at all, It shipped with the game like all the other AAs. Just because some or even a lot of people don’t think it is good, doesn’t mean that it is factually bad. It’s an opinion. In my opinion, the sprint pummel is just as cheap as AL pop shield drop. Jetpacking is cheap on so many levels, flying over walls to eliminate a team that is in a secure bunkered location, or flying high enough to get out of range of a weapon. The hologram is cheap because it fools everybody, or nobody. And invisibility is cheap, because well you are invisible.

That’s my only beef with the TU, considering they changed things like AL and made the necessary changes to make Anniversary playlists possible, they could have went all out and focused on more things like a Jetpack nerf and stuff like that, instead we have a Camo nerf that isn’t even noticeable and bleedthrough removed because of a silly bug that exists in Vanilla but only visible w/ bleedthrough enabled.

That shield-thingy that pops up in front of you and you can run around with it comes to mind as an instant lightning rod for criticism.
EDIT: I haven’t posted here in 2 months and I’m still Master of Unicorns? WTF?

Doesn’t look too bad. Vehicles can run you over, a grenade under the shield will probably hurt you, and you’re only protected from the front. I think PV will be more overused than this.

This is my issue with adding and taking AA’s away. Although I can agree that the AAs may have been a natural evolution of the series. And I am fine with that, however they make certain ones that are so outlandish, it becomes pointless. From what I get they made a jump pack instead of jetpack. So you get small spurts, which is what it should have been to start with. Like a 1-2 sec blast, and then a 1 sec recharge. Where you have to continue to press the button. I imagine the AAs go like this in Halo4. All become inferior to PV for natural reasons. And in turn EVRYONE uses PV, and then nobody ever gets the drop on anyone else. Then Halo 5 uses PV and Sprint as standard AAs.
