So which armour ability do you like the sound of the most. I know that depending on maps/game types everyone is likly to change what they use, but you must have a favourite?

I like the basic idea of the dodge roll. Armour lock at the moment seems like a use-and-abuse system much like Martyrdom became; people are just going to dive into combat deliberately to get themselves killed but take everyone else with them. It's an awesome idea in itself but having it blast an EMP pulse when released is a bit much.

I agree with you here, but I think it can be used on defensive game types such as stockpile. Also, and I'm sure this will become more apparent when the beta releases, each ability must have it's downside. I can't wait to play it!

Since i dont know what Armour Lock or what Evade will actually o, im going to have to go with either Jet pack or Active Camo... Probably Jet pack, cause you cant go wrong with a jet pack...

And sprinting isnt worthy of a super power.

The downside being someone could just wait around to kill you. Or perhaps just wait behind you and assassinate you the second you unlock. Either way, I can certainly see a downside to being frozen.

I put sprint, I just like getting places faster plus it would give me more chance of dodging weapons fire.

As much as I would love the jetpack it has a distinctive sound and you're a bit of a target up high, so active camo for me.

This sounds a lot like Crysis armour. I've never actually played a Halo game online, I try to avoid them due to it being mostly an Xbox game. So how does this work? Is it like a perk in MW2, or can you change during gameplay like Crysis?

It's like MW2, you chose your load-out each time you spawn, the load-out's consist of spawn weapons and one armour ability (all listed in the poll). So like MW2, if you're having a worse then average game, you can change your load out and switch strategies to mix things up a little. I've never played the Crysis games, so I can't give an opinion on that.

Armor Lock.

"Oh, you're gonna splatter me with a ghost? Oops, armor lock! Looks like you'll be picking parts of yourself up off the pavement!"

Jetpack when wouldent you need it?

And dont say in corridors cause your wearing armour so just fly away from who every is trying to kill you.

And jetpacks are awesome.

From what I hear, evade is something exclusive to the Elites, so it's not so much an armor ability as it is a bonus for being an elite.

Other than that, I'm tied between Sprint and Active Camo. I'm leaning more towards Camo though because I remember how much fun it was to turn invisible and reappear in Halo 2 as the Arbiter.

I am a sneaky bastard.

I will always, always be using the active camouflage.

What's more, I will use it to both snipe with impunity and sneak up and beat you over the head.
