Shotties are cooler, but less effective in Halo 2

on a normal match i choose sword, simply because of the lunge. the shotty needs to be to close. but if weapon set was set for swords and shotguns...i go shotty...timing isn't hard.

People are hatin on the sword too much. I don't really know why. Shotgun is definetly a good support weapon but there's a reason why there's only one sword on a map with two or more shotguns... Sword is a power weapon, shotgun is a support weapon. Even when you have host, sword still has more range, less down time to switch to, less down time between missed shots. With or without lag, the sword is a superior all around weapon. Course, it's still always fun to blast a lunging sword dude in the face!

every thing everybody says is a opinion because it is what they think on the matter between sword or shotgun. any way i would go with the shot gun because if you have good aim then the sword wouldn't stand a chance. but thats just what I think.

In halo 2, the sword

In halo 3, the shotgun.

I wouldn't go as far as to say noob,some people are really good with the sword and some people are really good with the shotgun, but head to head, the shotty always has a better chance than the sword simply because it is a projectile weapon, and thus has the benefit of distance(no matter how short it is still longer than the sword)

The sword, it's really a definite kill if you're close enough and the guy doesn't have a shotty. =P

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

I shall tie the sword to the end of the shotgun, doubling the length.

LOL, you guys choose the sword because it doesn't take as much skill, plus shotty beats sword 1v1, as long as the shotty personisn't a nub. I personally am good with the shotty and if I had to choose between a shotty with ONLY six bullets in it and a sword, I would still choose the shotty becase I would get 4-6 kills with the shotty, where as the sword is a weapon of, "Oh yeah, I just got a kill because I grabed it and lunge at a guy who just saw me."


You're trying to talk smack, I think, but you're just really, really, really, really, really, really, really not cool at all.

Sword FTW.

Since the shotgun sucks so much, the sword...


Yep, with or without host, I would still take sword, because it more consistent (thought still terrible) than the shotgun and if I don't kil I at least take the sheilds completely down unlike the shotgun.

  • 07.22.2007 10:25 AM PDT

I use the sword as bait. crouch in a hiding spot with a shotty and BAM no sword for anyone. Its amazing how it works so well.

The sword.

Do I think it is very overpowered, yes. But it's kill or be killed, right?
