I understand the purpose of auto armour was to make the game easier for new players to learn by not having to worry about using their suit powers. But I feel this sort of attitude is harmful to the game and really dumbs it down. Auto armour is very rewarding to a bad and lazy form of play and I see it used probably more than any other suit module. People should be rewarded for using armour mode correctly, not just running about and having it turn on automatically for them. If you don't use armour preemptively or aren't quick enough then I feel you should fail. Yes it might be more difficult for Call of Duty players who are used to never having to think but there is nothing wrong with a slight learning curve.

So I would dearly like to see auto armour removed to encourage and reward better gameplay.

Auto Armor should help noobs learn to use the suit and only in the beginning, instead it just makes harder for the rest of the players to kill them and teaches them nothing, so the execution of the idea is terrible.

For example it might have served if it only activated for a short period of time (two seconds or less for example) after which the player would have to press Q to prevent Armor Mode from being turned off, that way you can train noobs to have quicker reflexes and activate Armor as soon as they are attacked and also before entering combat.
