Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
@Father Bullet:
I agree with you 100% that Armour Lock should be taken out even though I have no strong feeling against it I do think that having an ability that outright makes you able to survive anything isn't very fun even when I'm using it. As for the Jetpack I am a little torn as I did to an exten enjoy using it but at the same time I prefer having to move about the battlefield on foot in order to flank and out gun the enemy. I didn't think of hologram when I posted this but I agree that it could be included as well as it doesn't have a massive impact on the game.
As for them not having enough of an impact well to be honest i'd rather they not have too much of an impact but rather be a little extra boost when you need it like for example if you were playing CTF and you wanted to get to the flag faster you would use sprint but if you were playing Slayer and your team is pinned down you could use drop shield to give you a little time to react. They may not have massive impacts but I kind of like that.

I was thinking of this when I posted the topic and I think it could very well work the only issue I can see is that it might split the community in half in a way. By that I mean if you had one playlist that is classic but you prefer playing with AAs then you might be part of a minority and they may be less players in your playlist, that being said Halo is very popular so it might not have a massive impact.

Saying thrusters has given me an idea actually. What would you guys say that instead of Jetpack you get the thrusters like Master Chief used in the E3 trailer and it will basically give you an extra boost to your jump allowing you to do a double jump in a way and gain more height. Sorta like doing a grenade jump but you would use your AA to do it. I can see it having advantages and being useful while not being too OP.
