It seems a very limited use.

Aren't they all tho? All of the armour abilities have there strength and weaknesses and everyone has there faves. It all depends on your style of play. I'm not saying the hologram is the best one, just that when it is used properly and comes off it is quite funny and satisfying.

Nope. As I said to begin with Sprint is the only one worth a light.

It's useful all the time. It gets you out of trouble. It lets you catch people up. It helps you jump further. Perfect for every situation not just when you're sniping on a particular map and someone happens to be able to get to that point and then I can use it if I can get around the corner and they have a rocket and I can get them while they're reloading.

Maybe for you and the way you play. How about if your are trapped in a corner and can't move. This obviously renders Sprint useless and has happened to me a few times. I personally prefer the Elite's evade (and generally playing as em). It sounds to me that you haven't tried the rest of the abilties enough and just use Sprint cos it's the easiest to use (no offence to you or anything). At least with some of the others you have to be a bit more tactical with the way you play.

I hate everything about playing as Elites.. I'd rather gouge my own eyes out with Wolfs rancid member.

How about not getting trapped in a corner in the first place? Which wont happen if you play properly and don't camp like Graham Norton. ;)

Lol I hardly ever camp, it does my head in when people do that all of the time! :x I've been trapped before when I spawned right by some people and they surrounded me. Lucikily once when it happened I used Armour Lock, they blazed all there bullets and had to reload which gave me the chance to kill em. :)

Fair enough. Personally I find armour lock a bit stupid. You can kill 'em easy as soon as they unlock.

Rocket packets are an invitation to be shot out of the sky.

The stealth one can be handy but personally for me it's always sprint.

You're all wrong... Rocket packs rule. Just don't be daft with them. I use them to get to higher platforms fast or to avoid being cornered and they're handy as feck.

Those that hover about in them like sitting ducks on the other hand are just plain stupid and give the things a bad name...

Armour Lock is great when used alongside plasma grenades, especially if you like to get up close and stick people with them. Get close, stick someone, activate armour lock and chortle away as they blow up right next to you while you remain absolutely fine.

I have a video of me getting a "Perfection" (17 kills, 0 deaths) round using armour lock...

I don't always suck at this game... :?

You were using armor lock pretty effectively that day we were playing rumble pit. I remember a few times I thought you were down when you suddenly locked and turned the tables on me.

Yeah, I'd say the last one looks very much like an underwear shoot.

I have no idea why I think that

Hmm
