The Armor ability is soo freaking useless. I can be shooting a guy in the back with it on and he can just turn around and put three bullets into me and i will drop. I know many people have posted about this but it's gotten to the point where it's really pissing me off that it happens to me atleast once every game. needs major fix

Protip: use SCAR, or be host. Problem solved.

yea i know what you mean. Sometimes I feel that at the start of each game it randomly picks a couple of guys and gives them the ability to just completely run ppl over. Because I also have the same problem that u described. I have had a few games tho where i have just dominated tho. Very stressful game. I still give it a 8/10. Im sure they will get these issues fixed. Im just happy there servers allow me to play unlike Homefronts garbage

Its not like you can pick to be the host, otherwise everyone would do that. And i agree the scar is by far the boss gun of this game. They should tone it down a little so you can use the other guns and be just as affective.

Agreed. Homefront is garbage.

Actually I've grown to enjoy my NERF shotgun.

Not useless, especially in Single Player, I can beat down 3-5 aliens in a row without dying, without it I died in like, 5 seconds trying that. Online, it seems to be hit or miss, it can help, other times its on and body shots kill me just as fast normal.

Agree... But sense it's always being stated, I didn't wanna beat a dead horse... But IT IS DEFINETLY USELESS! Needs to be fixed

I've noticed the randomness of the armor as well. I just contributed it to lag... Basically one machine not registering the activation of the armor before the bullets are incoming.

Usually when I get dropped with Armor on I've just activated it after being shot once.

You probably didn't notice that your energy levels were most likely down when you engaged it, when there low going into armor mode is basically useless. He probably had a full ENG bar when you attacked him and his armor would take make hits. Thats why you got dropped

Due to extreme lag, energy bar doesn't deplete accurately, instead results in death with plenty of energy ... I played one game where it worked just fine like campaign, armor takes beating, energy depletes, armor off ...

now with crappy lag, i got armor on and death with so much energy or it goes from 100 to 0 in less 1 second wow ....

come on Crytek look at Halo, shield bar accurately shows when hit

the armor works fine forme in every game i have had. i love how noobs that die come along going oooo its not working rite cos i die lol. just face it, you svck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you had good connection, it works well. If you don't, you will die quick. They really just need to clean up the networking and then this game will be beast.
