What armor ability do you "main" in Halo Reach?

[mtp∞ls]

I only use sprint, playing a FPS without sprint just feels weird to me. I dont mind playing older halos even though they dont have sprint (cant wait for 3 to come out). Since sprint is in Halo Reach I just feel like I have to use it. When I played reach when I was younger I would always pick the Jetpack lol

Active camo or Hologram.

People tend to be glued to their motion sensors so I can use the camo before i get too close to a corner so they don't prefire my peek and I can get the first shot

As for Holo, it's just really fun to use sometimes. I underestimated it back in the day. Throwing it out can buy a precious second to get the first shot in

I follow about 5-10 feet behind mine. I send it out with my alt weapon and hopefully have a shotty or sword in hand for real so they're completely unprepared.

cloaking can be fun sometimes

I must caution sprint. like other armor abilities it has its strengths and weaknesses. Sprint is great for getting behind cover quickly or traversing exposed terrain. It can also be helpful in emergencies like recovering objectives (bomb/flag). Otherwise, sprint makes you a more noticeable target and if shot, it takes to to recover to a gun-ready position to fire back. It can also reduce your environmental awareness, and you unknowingly charge into danger at disadvantage. It's tempting but i strongly recommend against sprinting constantly.

Depends on the map/mode/size.
Armor lock is amazing if you're teaming up in tight quarters. Start a fight, activate the cockblock and let your unscathed friends finish what you started. Maybe even return the help as soon as the attentions off you.
Other than that I find the mobility of the jetpack difficult to part with. When everybody is aiming so well the awesome utility of being able to immediately reach nearby vantage points or take exclusive (and often less exposed) entrance/exit routes just seems too useful to pass up. And certain hill objectives are hopeless to reach without it.

Reporting for duty sir! I also packed a bubble shield....wait that's campaign only. Why is bubble shield in campaign only, but armor lock is in both?

Bubble shield is in Invasion for one (Medic class if I'm not mistaken). Not sure about others.

With any game that has sprint I feel the need for speed lmao, Ill probably experiment with hologram. I dont like abilities like Armor lock cause you can stop firefights and cloak cause it causes you to stand still more. Once Halo 2A and 3 come out Ill probably play those more and wont be tempted by sprint.

I think thats correct, Evade also seems to be only for Invasion (and infected.)

♥♥♥♥ on me all you want but "Armor Lock"

I like armor lock.

But my reaction time is so terrible I can't use it well. I swear I am like a blind sloth.

So sprint for me.

armor lock has like a 2 second cast time before youre actually invulnerable and a 1 second cast time for the animation to cancel or finish before you can do anything, plus it doesnt remove plasma grenades. sprint has the same animation penalty after using it, it will mostly just speed you up into being killed by another player

sprint. IF i use anything else its jetpack on select maps that have alot of levels to it.

Same. I always enjoy flying around with the jetpack. Not the most useful, but still fun.

Evade also makes an appearance in the "Elite" game modes.

For myself it depends on the game and map. Jetpacks are great for maps with a lot of levels, armor lock is fun for countering grenade spam in tight quarters and vehicles, and sprint it good for oddball and king of the hill where getting around quickly really counts. I also played around with holograms for one king the hill match, and it warrants further testing.

I like sprint. It's always useful. I often find myself missing it when i use other abilities.

Armor lock on anything with too many vehicles. I love punching a ghost to death.
