Dear god....

While I'm sure they won't purposely make anything OP, I think it is a bad idea.

You must be new to Halo.

Then that should tell you that most of Halo's fan base was disappointed in Reach. If most of the threads are about Armor Abilities, that means they aren't very wanted.

Invisibility STILL gives you a jump on a fight. Someone can be sitting completely still and waiting on somebody to walk by, then boom, they get a head start on the fight. Not only that, but the person they jump is confused because of the jammed radar. Plus, that jammed radar works your OWN teammates as well. Armor Lock definitely lasts more that 3 seconds. While you're waiting on the person to get out of it, their teammates can come up and kill you. The point I'm making is that if you're in the middle of a firefight, and someone goes into AL, it completely ruins the flow and balance of the game. Anybody who claims that AAs don't ruin the game and say that Invisibility and Armor Lock are fine are obviously not true Halo fans.

Simple. It doesn't take skill to turn invisible and invincible whenever you want. Halo was always about skill. At the beginning of each match, everyone would rush for Invisibility and try to get that small edge on the other team. In Reach, anyone and everyone could turn invisible whenever they want, jamming their teammates' and the other teams' radars. That's not Halo. Don't get me wrong, I liked Reach, but it wasn't the same Halo as say Halo 3. If you need explanations on why AAs or not Halo, you obviously aren't a very big Halo fanatic.

I'd love to see the Hayabusa return. The helmet, chest, and shoulders are just amazing. Other than that, I want all new armor.

Doesn't sound good to me. Sounds like they are still in the game. I have been a Halo fanatic since day one, but if I see armor lock and invisibility in this game, I might just have to draw the line.

Reach's population hasn't been 100,000 in weeks. Plus it is also over 3 years newer than Halo 3. Casual players wouldn't go play a game that came out in 2007. If you want to start talking about population statistics between Halo 3 and Reach, talk about how many people were playing them at the one year mark of their releases.

I agree. Halo Reach's multiplayer would have been 30x better without the classes. Halo 3 is still the better game despite being older because of the perfect balance between pickups and weapons. I would do damn near anything for them not to put armor abilities into Halo 4.

So you're saying that turning invisible whenever you want and armor-lock is skillful? Got to be joking.

That's almost unimaginable.

Amazing news. Can't wait for it! Way to clean up what Bungie make dirty!
