Why are so many people running around in armour mode?

It's like more people are seeing how Auto Armour is a waste of a slot but instead just run around with it on all the time. I'm guessing these are the causal that Crytek attracted who don't know how to properly play but it just makes playing this game a bit frustrating because many times I'm not running into someone who beats me because their armour is always active.

As you know, it doesn't drain like stealth does.

We who despise AA run around in armour on in the event of camper infestation. Once they are terminated or they relocate we disengage our armour mode.

Well, if they know there is a bow user, why the hell not? Personally, a counter-measure against bow guys, up to say 75% is Ordnance Alert 2, great module against the newbies who don't have a fast aim to shoot response. The rest 25% are due to high ping,time before the server transmits the data that someone is aiming at you etc or just someone who can aim and shoot faster than the server can alert you.

Why the hell not?

If you get caught from behind without Armor mode, you're toast.

It's a very simple task to engage Armor when approaching a likely engagement area. Default mode is only ever needed to sprint from engagement to engagement.

And cloak is just useless.

Frankly I think the Nanosuit was MUCH better off with Armor being the default mode. It just makes logical sense.

OHK weapons, you heard of 'em?

Whenever my back/sides aren't covered by walls or buildings, I have armor up. Whenever I'm looking down a scope/sights, armor is up.
Even if I'm really careful it's still hard to stop the random shot from insta-killing me because I decided to take armor off for 2 seconds.

Am I reading this correctly, that you are frustrated because you are NOT getting beat by people with armor on all the time?
