The only thing I'd like them to fix is the fact that people can negate getting stuck with a grenade by going into armor lock. It's especially annoying on elite slayer where there's lots and lots of grenade sticks. It's pretty stupid that armor lock blocks grenades stuck on the player before it's even activated.

Are you kidding me? Only thing people spam are fricking grenades in this game because most of the weapons have too much bloom (thus making them harder to use for most people). It's ridiculously easy to get killed by a random one you didn't see at the last second.

Also, just something I noticed, during the last week of beta, the range of the grenade explosion was fine and way more balanced, but they had to put it back like it was the first few days of the beta for the final game. Stupid idea in my opinion.

So with that said, Armor Lock for the win. Haters gonna hate!

I think that you are probably in the minority on the way you feel about the beta nades, I mean they were calling them mini-nukes and all.

As far as armor lock on Elite slayer goes, thanks for the idea. I'm usually a Sprint/Evade user but Elite slayer is a fucking sticky spam fest so I'm gonna start using this armor lock tactic. Actually, today was the first time I had someone save their own ass by using armor lock after I stuck them with the sticky launcher. I stuck him and started to back away figuring he was done for then he just armor locked real quick and proceeded to to kill me, LOL. I was too busy trying to process what just happened and this dude just owned the shit out of me, it was beautiful. 

Well I'm out all this Halo talk has me too hot and bothered to stick around you freakin' nerds all night, Im going to play me some Reach.
