TankKill Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hello, I've seen so many peeps complain that AL was too powerful. And that it should be removed from MM. But then SOOOO many players would be upset. So instead of removing it or tweaking it, how about making it a power weapon? Anyone like this idea? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Muffins 7 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 i dont think adding a more powerful weapon will make things more balanced, how you would make armor lock a power weapon is beyond me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankKill Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Its to place it on maps as a pick up so you don't spawn with it, but to satisfy other players though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Muffins 7 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 but then you would have two perks and the people who over use armor lock are still going to go for it and be gay with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankKill Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 No, so you could replace the AA you have. Not to have two AAs at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Jester Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Stop people spamming AL, once they to into AL they are unable to pop out and have to stay in it for the duration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sire Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I still detest the concept of AL, but this would work better than having it available to everyone. Though, at the end of the day, it never belonged in Halo, nor in any FPS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPlow Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 i like armor lock. i dont see any reasons why it sucks. sometimes im a sitting duck and im screwed, sometimes it evens the odds for a good dmr duel without having that grenade injure me. either way its good and bad. as is every other this in the game. like it should be. and as for power weapons, they're called power weapons for a reason. they spawn every 3 minutes. win the battle for it you get to rape, lose and you will be raped, rightfully so.

Spectral Jester Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 The funniest thing about Armour Lock is ..... In Bungie vs the World did you see what armour ability the Bungie staff usually started with? Yep that's right Armour Lock, seems someone likes it...

SniperPrime Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 but then you would have two perks and the people who over use armor lock are still going to go for it and be gay with it ^ this is true People that have a problem with AL just plain suck at halo. AL is only useful for certain situations and its pretty easy to kill someone that uses it. I think they should add an option to use either lockouts or power abilitys. AL should be the same.

Anyone like this idea? it would be better to tweek it like it would throw bursts that would knock close enemys back but only damage their sheild slightly. and instead of AL making u invinsible/immobile it would make you slow but give you an oversheild....it can still have the cool particle effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheaties4brkfst Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I personally like armor lock. It can be used in a bunch of situations but almost always leaves you as a sitting duck, unless you have good teammates as back up. There are strategies against it. Run away, keep your distance, or throw a well timed grenade at their feet. You should never die one on one against an armor lock user. I'v moved on though. I'm more of a sprint guy now. Gotta get in and out quick amirite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean PHD Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I dislike AL strongly but I see it use in custom games. I would like to see in team matches only one or two players allowed to have AL at a time. That way it forces you to use strategy and work together as a team.

Gotta get in and out quick amirite? i realy dont know why most players cant see it the way you do they all have there excuses but truth is its still balanced and compatitve so its halo i dont care what anybody says i stand by bungie and nobody will do a better halo 4 some tyme pinned up vs them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g00n77 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 i realy dont know why most players cant see it the way you do they all have there excuses but truth is its still balanced and compatitve so its halo i dont care what anybody says i stand by bungie and nobody will do a better halo 4 some tyme pinned up vs them i agree with you guys. if you have a jetpack and someone locks their armor then you can hover above them just out of melee range and do anything from stick them with a plasma to melee. i have even gotten a few free assassinations with this tactic. the armor locker cant seem to aim up fast enough after coming out of lock...this is just one basic strategy against armor lock. armor lock is easy to use but even when mastered is not fullproof. however when sprint and evade are mastered they can be used in any situation. the downside to armor lock is that you cant move while locked. use that to your advantage. it works 95% of the time....for me anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way it forces you to use strategy and work together as a team. i somewhat agree with this. im fine with armor lock 99% of the time. but when an entire team uses it on invasion it can get slightly frustrating. meyb a two or 3 player limit at a time for armor lock.

g00n77 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 how about armor lock still protects form explosions/vehicles, melees sniper fire. but not small arms bullet fire? for example somone throws a nade and you lock. then you have to unlock or he is just ganna pelt you with DMR rounds?
