Halo 5 will not have Armor Abilities

[Coldfreeze]

Could be bad, I really liked the jet pack. I trust them to keep the game fun though.

 

I hope they don't, Jetpacks completely destroy map control.

This is a good idea. Armor abilities were bungies/ 343s way of following trends that COD was setting and it killed what made Halo special. 

 

Halo 2/3 was never broke, so why fix it? There was a certain simplicity to Halo that made it so well balanced. This is the way the game should go.

I'm not happy that armor abilities won't be included, but dual wielding or hijacking? That seems cool. As long as they do have "Spartan Abilities" that would "replace" armor abilities, I'm happy.

Hrrmm... Damn. Armor Abilities were the best. I don't know, but Halo 4 has an amazing reputation in my mind, and those were my best memories of gaming. And Armor Abilities were a huge part. So, I'm sad.
