ITT idiots trying to act like the sword isn't a power weapon to increase their e-dongs.
FACT:Sword is impossible to avoid in any way shape or form if he attacks from above you. If he's above you and his cursor turns read guess what you're going to be waiting 5 seconds to do?
You can all act like "LOL ITS NUB CAUSE JUST STAY AT RANGE" but that's not always 100% possible, and it's MUCH harder to ensure you're always at a range from sword guy if your team is losing and therefore being backed into a corner while the other team picks up all the weapons and positions. You can try to get at a range from the sword, only to get destroyed by his teammates with the snipers and combos sitting outside your little hiding spot. The sword adds an unbelievable amount of pressure the the other team and makes executing any sort of comeback much harder as it essentially defeats any possibility of a close range attack, forcing you to run at an enemy from a bad position.
You know if the other team has power weapons and you are cornered with your team against the wall. Its nearly impossible to not get out soon on a map with the sword except on Zanzibar, in which case is impossible since its a big map. You ideas are not properly posted. lets set an example The other team has Sniper Rifle, Sword, Shotgun, and another guy has a Magnum. You and your teammates are cornered in the small Bottom level floor on Battle Rifle tower. Theer is almost no way that at some point you will be able to escape. For the other team to cover all possible areas, 1 with each player is easily escaped from. You and the rest of your team have Battle Rifles. Simply move with your team and use team power to take out single people, even a sword can't take a beating of 4 Battle Rifles, neither can the Sniper Rifle.
