Calm Killer said: I think the common belief between most original Halo fans is that all Armor abilities broke the normal Halo game play. It doesn't matter what ability it was, it broke the game. I know I would love Halo 3 if you got rid of the Bubble shield and all that crap and just had good maps and equal ground and let the skill reign. Click to expand...

It wasn't that they broke the game in my opinion (maybe armour lock), it's just the added abilities were diluting what people wanted from Halo, just plain old FPS gameplay with some great vehicle combat. Armour abilities, perks, weapon drops, loadouts all add to many variables in combat. I could deal with the jetpack in Reach as that just added some verticality to fights but everything else added over the years has been pointless.Hopefully we don't see a return of sprinting though if sliding and ground pounding is coming to the new one (also I saw a spartan shoulder barge / tackle another spartan in there or do we think that's just thrust pack from 4?)
