"ADAPT." No. Armor Lock and Sword Block are moronic.
They are simply garbage. Nothing more.
Armor Lock is an abomination to the 'smarter combat' that AA's supposedly breed.
Look at [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=19721745&player=ZomeChiiN]this senselessness[/url]. Is that [i]Halo[/i]? Is that really the game we've come to love and know? Sure, AL can and does make you think about how you're going to use it and/or battle someone using it. The thing is, the logic and reasoning involved in doing so is pre-school level at most. Anyone can play well with Armor Lock, and anyone can play well against it. The problem is that you simply shouldn't be denied what you've earned, and Halo really shouldn't be played that way. If you get a cross-map stick, the guy stuck should be dead. This same logic should also be applied to minor situations and annoyances.
Sword Block. "Adapt." Sure, good suggestion. I'll just start using my Sword mid or long range. I'm the best Sword-sniper there is. "Now it's balanced." No, now it's an Assault Rifle. You have no reason to rush or setup for it. You've turned a deadly power weapon that brought flourishing movement to the map into a near-worthless and completely random poking stick that isn't really worth wasting your time going for. "Oh, well just adapt to situations and use it like a 'sneaky ninja'." Look, you have 2 nuclear grenades in your pocket, an Assault Rifle that is so easy that guests can master it (in AR starts), or a DMR that takes 5 super quickly spammed shots in close range (in DMR starts). We have enough counters to this power weapon. The funny thing is, power weapons don't need counters [i]at all[/i], at least in DMR starts where power weapons (and much more) isn't broken.
Sword and Sprint [i]is not[/i] an overpowered combination, and even if it was, [i]hello[/i], why not just increase the weapon draw time on the sword? You're taking a problem and fixing it indirectly. This ruins other aspects of the game. Go for a direct approach, for Christ's sakes.
Stop trying to turn Halo in to something it's not. Adding broken, illogical, and flat out retarded game mechanics is not the answer to giving Halo depth and skillful prerequisites. I really enjoy Reach, but there are seriously way too many things that are making it feel like Halo: Combat Dissolved.

This game is almost as bad as the awful scrubs who love it

This guy is a hundred percent right. I.m pretty sure that if I ran up to you with a sword and you hit me while I was swingin' that thing, I think I would win that one. It makes absolutely no sense.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ooh shiny Maybe you should adapt to the armor lock. How bout that?[/quote]Adapt to an annoyance? Sounds fun. No, actually, it isn't. I know because I've done so. Are you under the impression that Armor Lock was the reason I died in that video?

Maybe you should adapt to the armor lock. How bout that?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Harley99C lol its funny because op has 690 rejections but he hates armour lock[/quote]... [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Zomechin I have nearly 700 rejections and nearly 2500 games played in MM. That being said, my average rejections per game was about 10 (out of games played using it). 700(rejections)/10(average rej. per game) = 70. That's roughly 70 total games I've used Armor Lock in out of 2500 games played. Derp. Not to mention I only used it when the game first came out and I was inexperienced and bad.[/quote] [Edited on 07.04.2011 12:03 PM PDT]
