Subject: Two simple requests.

I wish i could put my bungie card here,when bungie said it could be used as a forum signature i got my hopes up.

1.Make the plasma and frag grenades more distinguishable.At a glance its hard to tell which one you have selected.

2.Take shield lock out of team based playlists.Its too easy for players to run in pairs of two with the shield overlock guy in the lead he puts as much damage on the opposing team then he turtle shells while his teamate finishes the job,if his teamate dies then he can stand up and finish it himself.The problem is that this gives organized teams an unfair advantage over teams made up of players that dont know each other.JUST MY OPINION.

1. I agree

2. I disagree. 2 guys coming down a corridor and they run into one guy, they should win anyway, I know this won't always be the case but armour lock seems fine to me. It pretty much puts you as the juggernaught who assaults the enemy base, while to use it you have to give up steath like camo or moblity with sprint and the jetpack.

That's tactical/Strategic Gameplay. Those claiming Halo is a run and gun need to read this. Armor Lock actually makes people rethink about just running into battle.

But Halo should be run and gun. That's what made it fun. Along with tactical jumps that are now history.

I dont completely disagree with your second reply.i think that with two organized teams this is a non issue but in the real world of online multiplayer it is too much of a fair balance upsetter.

"We're pinned down here...need support..."
*static*
"...This is Spartan-C19. I'm on my way!"

"...Chark?"

I like the first thing, it IS hard to tell if I have chosen frag or sticky...once i figure it out its too late :(

The second, I.M.O. is kind of a good idea. How about an Ability rule that only 2 different ppl can use the same ability at the same time. Like, if two have already chosen armor lock, I'm going to have to choose jet pack or sprint, etc. I'm no wiz at math so don't kill me. 2 sounds good.

wow how sad is this you want to remove ability because it makes well team work good while the one's that can't work that well to gather lose.

looks like this one require skill to use and to go around against.

Ok for ones that hate the main problem you never used it, so you dont know how to go against it. Armor lock needs to be activated about second it happens if you tried oh crap way you will never get it off and die.

It's not an unfair advantage. The organized team will ALWAYS win against a team full of solo players.

1. Sure, I don't have a problem with it but wouldn't mind.

2. That's the whole point of armour lock! You SHOULD be rewarded for playing as an organised team.
