ok i am sick and tired of ppl callin ppl with the sword a noob cuz they are so noobish they dont kno how to kill someone with the sword. There are many ways to kill someone with a sword if U ARE NOT A NOOB.almost every weapon can kill the sword the plasma rifle,smg,and pp are excellent shield destroyers shoot the guy with the sword with it and then melee the sword guy when hes flying at u cuz of the the red stroke piece of cake if u have quick reflexes and good timing and skill in the game. HAve a sniper snipe them pice of cake. BR then bxr if u can sneak up on them or double shot them rocks piece of cake. IF u are good with stickies sticky them if u can. if u have a shottie then its good as done as long as u dont get snuck up on and if u do then just u a high sensitivity to swing around quickly. If u have dual needs run at them a little try to get 7 on them to get an explosion and u will probably die as well but u can still kill them. the energy sword is part of the game so get used to it and if u are getting owned by it stop beint the NOOB and practice until u are good enough to kill it and if u see the sword its ok to pick it up and use it cuz its good in small maps and if they cant kill u then THEY ARE THE NOOB.

Why the hell are you looking at this? Get out.

And no group invites, you jerk. I'm not interested.

Except for the lack of energy costs and the ability to lunge with it before it's even ignited when you switch to it, yeah, it's fine.

I think everyone knows how to kill people with the sword, its pretty much the easiest thing in halo. Thats probably why they are being called noobs.

Conclusive and completely 100% legitimate proof that the sword is NOT balanced.

And, also, to the comment you said about double shotting or bxring the sword, you could also mod your xbox so that the sword doesn't work on you, either way its cheating. it's an unbalanced power weapon. It's not balanaced. The lunge is stupid (lunging in mid air like 10 feet forwards???) the fatc that you can pull it out and lunge at the same time, then out it away without even hearing the activation noise, I.E it doesn't turn on, you just bump into someone while holding a handle, is stupid.

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!"

Oh my god you are so stupid. You're right about one thing, sword is part of the game and it should be used, but it's still unbalanced. The sword is way too powerful, and if you're saying it's balanced then you are the n-word. (teehee)

I agree that one is not a n00b for using the Energy Sword and I, myself, can kill sword wielders (even with a beatdown), but the sword is a very unbalanced weapon.

If you're going to go that way about it, why not pick it up and don't use it so the other team doesn't get it.

I dont see why you wouldnt use it. Especially in assault or CTF. ITs like the plasma pistol, its on the map, get used to it.

Yeah, if you play Sanctuary in CTF and you get the BR you have to head for the PP and get on top of the Sanctuary to camp the middle!

It's the perfect plan!!! Ahahaha!!!!!

It's an unbalanced weapon due to two reasons. The biggest one if the ability to have a lunge kill from a great distance from any angle. The second is the one strike, one kill ability regardless of shield level.

They should take out the lock-on lunge and make it a two strike weapon. then it would make more sense. Then, they wouldn't have had to limit it's "ammo" capacity. They fixed nothing with the redesign of the weapon for H3.

u say im stupid becuz the sword is unbalanced but the problem noobs dont realize is that it is balanced. ppl call the sword unbalanced becuz they are noobs constantley gettin killed by it or not knowing how to kill ppl with it. and tell me how it is so powerful cuz u can have the sword and ill have any other weapon and i will still own u ur a stupid noob who probably thinks he is good but tell me this how come all the noobs call the sword unbalanced cuz they suck so bad they dont kno how to kill someone with it or avoid getting killed by it when the pros so it actually is balanced. HUH?

Wow, you've come up with a whole new world of strategy I've never thought of after playing this game for 3 years.

Halo 2 in general is EXTREMELY unbalanced and inconsistant, and while different weapon spawns, maps, and restrictions of weapons may help, it's still one of the most unbalanced, albeit pretty fun occassionaly game ever made.

thank god for Halo 3!
