In Response To: Re: How... (Leisandir) : I had a different experience with armor lock than a lot of people, I think. : It's frustrating, sure, but I never found it as irritating as many other : players. It's actually an interesting example of counter-play: on foot, : you basically lose if you get proud. An armor locking player is an insult, : it says "hah, look, you can't finish killing me!" If you take : the bait and stick around, you're in a lot of danger from the rest of the : enemy team. If you cool off and leave him sitting there looking like a : dumbass, you don't get a kill and neither do they. I was one who loved armor lock. It could be very annoying if you were on the other end of it but it was a cool addition that maybe wasn't as thought out as it could be. I think the Hard Light Shield is a great replacement for it though. It's powerful but leaves the gameplay moving. : I do find it strange that we've been given full freedom to choose our opening : loadouts, and yet the in-game drops are randomized. I wonder how people : would feel about getting to select, say, three sets of items for weapon : drops before the round starts, so that every time you get a drop, your : options consist of things you've decided are useful? That would probably work. : This is a personal thing, but I love it when the multiplayer makes sense - : that is, I don't like to be fighting over a skull or glowy part of the : map, I'd rather be trying to capture a fortification from an enemy in : order to use it as a defensive position against a counter-attack, and so : I'm actually in favor of 343 trying to connect the multiplayer to the : story of the game, but I don't think they've taken it far enough. The : weapon drop fits within the fiction of Halo, but the implementation : doesn't. Perhaps some evolution of Invasion Slayer where capturing points : on the map grants access to vehicles or equipment? I'm not really sure : where the answer is. I do agree that the drops give players down on their : luck a hand in defeating entrenched enemies, but I also have some problems : with them. Have you tried Dominion? You capture bases and giving you defensive positions that grant you weapons and vehicles.
