Do you use the sword or the shotgun most?

The sword has the lockon reticle with the lunge, and is supposedly easier to hide, then all of a sudden whip out and slash 'em in the face before they can say -BlaM- And it also has unlimited ammo

The shotgun is more accurate, as the sword lunge can sometimes go a little wild, and you end up just bouncing off of them or flying past them. Although its ammo is limited.

what do you think?

The sword, its funner. I love swords on lockout. Every so often when you go head to head with somebody you both miss like 2 or 3 times and go whooshing past each other. It builds anticipation. Usually when that happens you dont kill each other cuz somebody swoops in for the kill.

^^yeah its true what diabolicsniper said.

both of you are concentrating on killing eachother so much, you dont bother to check your radar, OR look around you for others, you just turn around and swipe at whoever is there. (in my brothers case, FRIEND OR FOE MUST DIE)

  • 07.03.2007 4:52 PM PDT

i use the sword cause its range for the lunge is longer than the one-shot-kill for the shotgun.

I personally use the sword more, but it does have its bad sides:

think about it, there is 5 of you with SMG's, and one of you with a BRIGHT SHINY SWORD. who stands out the most i wonder?

for example, have you ever had a game where its two of you with BR's, you are shooting the -BlaM- out of him and walking towards eachother, he is almost dead, and all of a sudden he whips out a sword and -BlaM-!!!! you are dead.

the point im trying to make is that

1. the guy with sword stands out most.
2. everyone walks backwards when killing guy with sword.

IF you had sword, but keep it hidden they have no idea that you have it thus they arent expecting a sword slash XD

Although this will become a thing of the past in Halo3 because their secondary weapon is slung over their shoulder, thus showing that they have a sword if the need to whip it out quickly.

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!"

If you play a game of swords vs shotguns, the guy with the shotgun should win by a margin of ~ 20 kills (in a game til 50) if he's a decent user. That means that the shotgun flat out owns the sword heads up. In a live game however it's different -- the sword with the br is usually more useful because of the lunge, but if you are trapped between 3-4 people you will die after killing 1, however with the shotgun you would be able to kill all of them. It's simply a question of reach and the map you are playing. Personally, I choose the shotgun because that way I can get easy kills if several people rush me in a small space and with it I don't fear the guy with the sword at all because in 85% of the situations ill kill him before he kills me, also the sword draws attention. But with the shotgun you won't be able to assassinate a guy 5 meters in front of you if he's running nor will you be able to kill someone that's shoothing 5 meters away from you and got 2 shots in before you turn. Still, I choose the shotty.

ok you guys all might want to reconsider your answer. The sword has 1 hit KO if you hit them with it. ANYWHERE.

the shotgun has a 1 hit KO if you hit them in the head OR really really close up.

the sword has the range advantage, and also the damage advantage.
think about it.

Host Shotgun > Sword
Non Host Shotgun < Sword

  • 07.04.2007 5:03 AM PDT

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Shotgun feels like too much as defence against sword, you can only damage opponents that close they usually have sword. Having bigger hit range for shotgun but being less sure kill would be best.

Shotgun because it actually takes skill to use, unlike the sword.

Shotty because it always has the ability to beat the sword in a perfect, no-lag game. If the shotty guy sees the sword guy coming at him, if he's good he will win EVERY time.

yeah but you would have to know EXACTLY when to fire, just before he hits you.
