Re: Halo: Reach

I encountered a few Armor Lock spammers last night. Cool beans...

The more the merrier, I'm glad it's in the beta and Bungie will look at the stats and do some edits to handle the situation.

They love it. I played against Shishka (the guy that developed both of the maps in the beta) and he spammed Armor Lock against us for several games.

Re: Halo: Reach

could somebody explain this "spamming armor lock" thing? I haven't crossed too many people using armor lock at all so I don't know what you all are referring to.

Re: Halo: Reach

So what does this armor lock spam look like? Do people use it when your about to kill them or something?

I'm playing the beta for the first time after school today and I've been hearing a lot about this.

Re: Halo: Reach

I've played 74 games so far, and haven't noticed anything wrong with Armor Lock, and really have only seen a few occassions where somebody actually used it effectively.

This is only one of the uses, but I feel like this is pretty cheap.

He did. The guy activated armor lock on his first rocket, let it go, then activated it again on the 2nd rocket.

Yep, this is exactly why there needs to be a slight delay in when you can re use your armor lock. a least make it a couple seconds. It deosn't have to be too long. I'm sick of almost killing a guy, then he armor locks and knocks out my shield, then the stops throws a grenade and goes back into it in no time at all really so I end up dying.

Re: Halo: Reach

gosh I don't really see what the big deal is. If you have rockets and shoot a guy who goes into armor lock, then why shoot a second rocket when you know he's just going to do the same thing?

Um, isn't this exactly what armor lock was designed for?

Re: Halo: Reach

Is it Friday yet? I want to play Invasion so bad.

Re: Halo: Reach

I finally played the Beta and realized how bad I am.

I hardly get any kills, but I don't die often, in my first game I got 5 kills, but only 1 death, however I did have about 18 assists.

My problem isn't really the fact they can block my attacks, its more so that the armor lock makes you invincible as soon as you press LB. Theres no real delay and you can also actually throw the grenade at the same time you go into armor lock and that pretty cheap to me.

Re: Halo: Reach

Problems I have with armor lock.
-You can spam it. A rocket or grenade comes your way, use armor lock for a second, come out of it, then you can still use armor again instantly. The meter should completely drain with a usage of it, even if you only use it for a half of a second.
-You are still invincible for a solid second after you come out of it.
-It lasts to long. A player that gets his shields taken down, armor locks until his shields start to recharge, basically gets a free life.

Re: Halo: Reach

I'm absolutely loving it.

This seems like everything I had hoped Halo 3's multiplayer would be...and then some. I'm deadly with the stalker loadout. Incredibly fun to let someone chase you, activate the camo and then stand still, they walk right by you and then BAM assassinate them and listen as they go "Holy ****!"
