Don't complain. That's nowhere near as bad as a lot of posts that I've seen.

I'll let you know when I find it. I'm not mocking grammer here, but it's really not much of a question. He's just saying that maybe the people using swords aren't n00bs, but the people who can't kill them. Not much of a question, more of a statement/theory.

The sword is NOT a newbie weapon considering how close you need to get to use it, plus most medium range weapons like Battle Rifle and Carbine can stop a sword user before they can get close. Also in clsoe range, most dual-wielded combos can take out the sword and lets not forget the shotgun.

  • 05.29.2007 3:25 AM PDT

And what if you hate it because it's too easy for you to use, rather than too easy for others to use on you?

  • 05.29.2007 5:31 AM PDT

Elites, Spartans, Flood... They're all the same.

They all end up falling to me!

K15

Eh, Sword is good, just hope that there was a ammo limit.

oh well.

Its the hardship and tales of self sacrifice in life that makes us stronger people or, of course, an Overshield and freshly spawned Spartan Laser.

I never got why it had an ammo count in SP, but not MP. I mean it was better in SP because you could kick serious Ass with it for a while, but then it wouldnt work anymore. MP should have been the same way. Still, the MP is great.

Sword is fine. You would get board if all there was was just a BR.

Agreed. If sword had ammo, like in SP, it would be even better. But dont bash on sword wielders, damnit!!!

  • 05.29.2007 10:32 AM PDT

Good idea. On a map with SMG as the starting weapon, I should be able to kill a sword whore who is trying to spawn kill me. Now explain, in the two or three seconds I have to live before he insta-kills me, how I can kill him.

I agree with you, the sword should have ammo to keep it balanced.

The sword is usually good. Its just some times on xbl there is too much lag to kill someone with it. And most nubs are too stupid to know how to use it. you can just jump around them and they will be too slow too respond.

I was playing SP last week, my sword died, so I proceeded to beat the evil doers down with the handle I still had.
Like a lightsaber that was still turned off.

sidenote: I agree, MP should have a sword-ammo limit brought into effect for the H3 release.

usualy when i kill some one, and they have a sword i find it easy, they usualy are 13 and under and try to kill you from half map with the sword. noobs because they can kill the sword guy? think about it... sword guy camps, unsuspecting victim runs past him, gets a slight glance, turns and shoot with his BR.
who will win? the sword guy. it takes more skill to use a BR then a sword. think about it... how hard is it to see your crosshair turn red, then pull the right trigger? any one can do it. thats why people call sword users noobs.

Would u not agree that that problem stems more from camping rather than just the sword.

A big part to success in Halo 3 or and Halo game is not getting frustrated when you feel you've been killed unjustly. Stay solid, and realize that its easier for you to come back when the other guys cant control their anger and frustration. Its hard to aim when your an emotional wreck :)

Its all part of the game. Im sure you love it when you have sword, just as much as I do, and Im sure someone calls you a noob in their head when you kill them with it. Its a constant circle of anger and dissapointment when people use the sword, so dont worry about it. Just live with the game, and dont worry about who kills you. In the end, you play better when you dont worry about whos going to kill you. The way I look at players is there just another person to kill, nothing better or below me.

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

No, it doesn't. It actually *is* the sword. You can camp with the shotgun just like you camp with the sword and get one-hit kills on unsuspecting victims. But the shotgun will eventually run out of ammo and you have to reload occasionally (or frequently). Besides, the swords lock-on range for its lunge is farther than the shotgun's one-hit kill distance.

I've played the H3 beta with a friend a lot (as guest on his account), and the Spartan Laser is pretty much the replacement for the sword (although it's more like a sword/sniper combo because of it's range). But people use the laser with much more care and thought even though it's also a guaranteed one-hit kill. And why? Because you only got five shots before it's empty.
