Going 25 and 1 with the Sword is dah shizzle. 'Course it was in Slayer Pro on Midship, but same basic thing right?

Anway, I don't think it should be taken out. If anything it would even up the Host Shotgun powers.

It wasn't me. Don't tell anyone though.

I was watching my buddy Smiley playing. He didn't go 25 and 1, but someone in the game did. I think he had host...that, or the people in Rumble Pit are really--REALLY--bad.

I think that it's the latter.

eh yea I guess... but its nice to have both lol

I don't think it should be taken out. It's not too hard to kill a sword guy if you travel in groups of two or so. The sword guy exposes himself and leaves himself vulnerable after he kills the first guy, assuming he hits him. This leaves him open for a sticking/assassination.

One hit kills are annoying, yes, but I don't think weapons which cause them should be removed.

On a personal note, I wish I didn't suck with the sword. I'll bet I've missed with the sword more times than the sword has killed people in the history of Halo 2. I don't know how I manage to do it, but I pull the trigger when the reticle turns red, and I always fly to the side of the person. I pick up swords if I find them, but I almost never use them anymore because they/I suck so badly.

Unless there's a patch(which there won't be), it's not possible to remove the sword unless you use a weapon set that doesn't have it. The only viable weapon set that removes it is human weapons, which screws up a number of maps.

Besides, it's allowed in MLG and Halo 3 is a month away.

They should just take all the weapons out of the game because they are all too easy to use. Melees only, but then we are faced with the whole button glitch thing, so i think halo should be a bunch of spartans running around unarmed.


If you get owned by the sword, stay away from it, stick the guy using it, or have your teammate help you double team him.

Technique? What the hell are you talking about?

Hardcore requires strategy and teamwork; if you have good teamwork, killing a sword-carrier is a piece of cake. If you don't, then you will lose.

There are very simple ways on how to avoid the sword, for beginners stay long range. you have a Battle Rifle, possibly shotgun, carbine, and many others weapons. Why for the love of God would you try and beat down the sword guy? Secondly, you can use an advanced technique called Strafing, if you strafe to the opposite side of the sword if they are charging directly at you they will miss. There are some videos on how to avoid this on Youtube.

Hey, the way i think of it is--If you cant contend, dont play. I mean, the sword is awsome, but you need to be aware if you dont have it. The sniper-- If you dont like ppl using it, learn to use it urself, then pwn them.

Glass is compleatly right on how to go about avoiding the sword.
But, to avoid the sniper, you need a little bit more movement. One was, is the zig-zag crouch jump. When your gettnig constantly pwned by a sniper, you start to get a feel to the way he shoots. The army, when under fire uses constant movement to avoid it. In halo, jum to the left, run, crouch, jump, go right, and do random stuff so he cant predidct where youll be. Get to cover fast too.

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get... but you can bet it will be chocolate.

Some of you in here are stupid. If your so sick of being killed by the sword and you think people rely on it... then camp the sword spawn so every time they try to get it, you kill them. Plus, why not just have a team member pick it up so you dont have to be killed by it.
