Just curious, did you "enable" armor directly before the kill or were you in armor for a full 2 seconds prior to the kill? To my understanding it takes about 2 seconds for armor to kick in after enabling it.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if it was just buggy. For example, SE III - killing people within a few seconds of decloaking. I know that is buggered, when I was leveling it I was purposefully shooting while in Stealth to ensure I got the kill within a second or two of decloaking or assassinating and it wasn't counting them properly then either.

I enabled armor directly before the kill.... I don't know why I bother with this game sometimes.

I enabled armor and it shows on the sides of my screen and I killed 25 people and not even 1 of them registered. Why does the screen tell me that I am in armor mode when in fact I'm not?!? Now I have to torture myself with waiting 2 secs before shooting at my enemy?

I would question this with Crytek but I'm getting fed up with this now and the other 20+ problems with this game. They won't have a real conversation with us anyway, I can tell them what needs fixing but will they fix it? As I've reached maximum rank I think I may just move on.

I believe the delay is deliberate, the same as when you go in to Cloak, i.e. it says "Cloak Engaged" immediately, but we all know there is a delay (SE speeds it up, but there is still a delay). I believe armor does the same.

cause unlike the first game the suface of the nanosuit has to alter,its not like Nanosuit 2.0/SP... plus it prevents people going cloak-Armor-kill-cloak

it means you have to use armor most of the time so normal people can't upgrade it with the method mentioned above...

I went through the same thing. You have to be shot in armor mode and then kill that same person.

thats not good cause 99% of the time you will die... of course unless you are just ear a corner and they are far away with a less accurate weapon... weapons like feline and some pistols should be less effective than say a mk60 v an armored person cause of the bullet differences... so many small details can make it more realistic....

I just tried to do more of the regular running and jumping/climbing stuff while in armour mode to level mine up, on top of getting kills while in armour mode seemed to work quickly for me.
I levelled all my 3 suit powers pretty evenly after I rebooted.

I thought that you keep all the level 3 ones after a reboot?

Ah, I misread the thread, thought it was about the armour/power/stealth module shizzles!!

I ranked up armour enhance just by killing people while in armour mode, I'm almost 100% they didn't all shoot at me first because it didn't take me long to get it!

Edit: and you only keep your XP on the leaderboards after a reboot!

w00t! so you have to re level them again!? oh well... I wish you could choose one module that could either be kept at level 3 or level 2 to make it more fair... are the skins really worth a reboot?

Nope, when you're running around and aiming down your sight you can barely see the different skin...I just rebooted because it was getting boring having nothing to aim for each game when I was at the top of level 50 for a few days.
Rebooting is not as bad as I thought it would be, I had my (not maxed out) setup within a few hours playtime and my K/D and W/L are way better than they were the first journey up to level 50!
I may do it again!

I guess its only fair... it would be nice if they let you keep a module at level 3 or 2 though...maybe after you reach level 5 or so?

You simply have to go around in armor mode all the time to level it up cause I have seen the same thing too cause my AE1 only went up by 10 kills in 4 matches...
