The effectiveness of armor can be measured in a few different ways: Total effective health: How much damage you can take before going down, presuming your armor never regenerates. Time until death: How long it takes to die when taking constant damage. Armor health: How much damage it takes to lose your armor. Time until armor loss: How long it takes to lose your armor when taking constant damage. Total effective health is most relevant if you're caught in the open. Time until death is important for making big sprints. Armor health and time until armor loss are key if you're fighting in cover. Armors with better speed let you cover more distance in the same time, but lose armor health and take fewer hits. This means that a suit will probably allow you to run farther out of cover, since you're moving more quickly. Another key factor is dodge, which provides (on average) a reduction in damage you take. This applies to both armor and health. Having higher armor health dramatically improves your overall survivability if you can take cover as needed. For example, the ICTV lets you take several shotgun blasts, whilst the suit goes down in one. This means you can lay down more fire before having to break off, which is why I act like a complete idiot with my shotgunforcer build and run around spamming the Raven (without dying all THAT often). Suppose you have 100 health (because I said so) and a suit. With the right skills and whilst sprinting, you dodge 49% of shots that would have hit you. This effectively doubles your health (on average, of course). Meanwhile, the ICTV does nothing to your effective health after your armor is gone. On the other hand, it offers a gigantic load of armor, significantly improving your effective health. SO The CTV is problematic because it slows you significantly and makes you very unlikely to dodge anything. It has its niches- Rats day 1, for example, would probably be fine with it. However, the lower speed means you can't get as far before dying, which makes it inadvisable for heists where you need to dive through cops. An HBV or even a suit would be more effective for that purpose. On the other hand, if you can kill the cops fast enough, armor is preferable over speed- you can just kill them before they can deal enough damage to break your armor. Hence the power of the ICTV. Personally, I use the HBV when not spec'd as Enforcer and the ICTV when I am. tl;dr CTV isn't always very good but sometimes is anyways -

1 pointConsidering the amount of Smartwatches launching on the market these days, surely it can't come as a surprise that Apple would launch their own? I watched the Apple announcement conference the other day with a friend of mine who works tech at a retail store and he was very impressed by the Apple Watch, despite the fact that he has been an Android user for many years now. It's not like it takes the knowledge of a person who is experienced with these sort of products to see that the Apple Watch is pretty impressive compared to it's competition anyway, I wouldn't mind having one of those honestly. Grabbing a single quote out of an article to illustrate some sort of point, seems more like hatemongering to me than it does anything else. I suppose people in the gaming world have tendency to automatically look down on Apple, it's not like they're saints when it comes to this stuff, but this is hardly a discussion when both the title and the OP mocks the product in question, without bringing anything into the spotlight other than a quote from an article, that really doesn't do anything other than sound a bit silly.
