A title update coming in mid-late September to Halo: Reach will add 4GB consoles, but nerf Armor Lock.
Previously, Xbox 360 gamers with tiny drives were out of luck. Reach is just too big to run on those 4GB versions of the 360. The update will allow even the low-end 360s to get in on the fun Expect new playlists to roll out in early October.
That's all the good news. Here's the other news (whether it's bad or good depends on your Reach playstyle). In the newly updated version of Halo: Reach, using the armor lock perk will no longer knock stick grenades off your armor.
Personally, I'm like, "Thank God!" There's nothing worse than sticking someone perfectly and them having a way to weasel out of their much-deserved punishment.
All of the best people are following Stephen Johnson's twitter feed. Also, email me if you wanna.

Don't like it, don't like it, don't like it, don't like it, don't like it, don't like it, don't like it, don't like it, don't like it (armor lock nerf). I don't use that ability much by I hate catering to whiners and complainers. They made the game great when it came out and now they are bringing everything down by starting to listen to complainers. C'mon 343, you're better than this.

There was more to this "update" but to everyone like me who hates this update, they are retaining the old style. This update is for a new playlist set. Old reach style will still be kept thankfully. Because not only have they broke some of the stuff, but they also added the Halo 1 pistol... no competitive playing on that playlist that's for sure. About the only good update, I guess, is that swords can no longer be blocked by melee attacks from certain weapons. It really didn't make sense when you thought about it and did kinda make the sword useless. But sprint sworders are still a problem.

They are nerfing a perfectly balanced ability, when they should be making Firefight PLAYABLE ONLINE! It is impossible to play online without major lag <_< also, @Parasyte, are you saying they should just remove all abilitys except sprint and decoy and turn this into COD?
CLUNGEHUNTERPJ
hmm. not sure about that, armor lock's primary use is grenade defense on maps without vehicles. haven't had a problem with the balancing at all

From what they said, if you get stuck first then go into armor lock it will kill you, but if your already in armor lock and someone throws a gernade the explosion severly reduces the energy (time spent in armor lock) that is left.

Normally i would like this but this makes elite slayer no bueno.
geomancer21
Stupid nerf, why not just remove armor abilities altogether then?
Aerindel_Prime
Nerfing armor lock? NOO!!!!!! Mutha#### What do they want, COD?
EliteBAMF
Not really enough of a nerf but it's a start
Luck702
Haven't played reach in forever and a day.

These are all changes that need to be made to even hope of keeping Reach alive. At the moment, with Armor Lock, Jet Pack, Active Camo whores, and bloom Reach is not fun.
JeeshusChrist
They are getting rid of the bloom effect for guns which I think is lame because you are taking away a concept that added another layer of skill needed to perform well in the game.
CobraDelSur
Soooo using your jetpack to go camp some corner of the map is a legitimate tactic but using armor lock to send those stickies back to their owners is not?

I'm really happy about the armor lock nerf. I always hated when someone threw a sticky grenade only to have it fly off from armor lock and sticks me who just happens to come in to the area.
