Your problem is not the sword, but lack of teamwork.


Yea that's true

With a BR spawn in a team game the sword really isn't a sticking point.

Well how about team ball on Midship? or CTF? Midship is nice and small if the sword camps their base he well pwn! its hard to take out the sword if he is camping one of the bases. unless he is a nubsauce.

Hey i am so sick and tired of playing Hardcore and getting pwned by the sword!
I think it sould be taken out because people rely on it way too much and it takes no skill to use!!!
So I want to know what all you Bungiers think!!!
Lemme know why you chose what you chose!

Thanks




Actually, it does take some skill to use the sword, you never know what the other person has up his sleeve. You never know if said person throws a sticky. YOu never know if the person will jump, run to the side, or whatever. The Sword does take skill to use, it just seems like it doesn't cause it kills so quickly, and to stop them from using the sword so much, just get it and hold it away fromt hem for as long as possible. And if someone DOES use it for the whole game, then yea, they are a nubycake.


Yes Ill admit it take some, barely any, skill.
But it always seems that when a person gets the sword he does have it the whole game cuz he camps.

Taking out a sword isnt that hard. Pop 'um a few in the head with the BR, or run around with plasma grenades. Theres one other option the SMG plasma rifle combo. Its a killer if your just out of his reach, but your close enough to kill him

I mean, jesus! Iv never heard so many ppl complain before. If you dont like the sword, then dont play. Either that, or find your own way to defeat it.

Haha. Honestly I think it takes very little skill but their are also setbacks to using it so much. More chances for certain things to occur to make them die. Secondly, once they begin to kill many people quickly they all seem to get lazy and they become easier to kill.

Yeah, that to. Its like they get bored, cause they think their better than everyone. Makes me feel good to kill um'. And no, im not angry. Just....well frusterated (and yes, there is a difference) because iv heard so many ppl on this thread complain about what they cant do. Their solution is to take that weapon or vehicle or whatever out of the game. My opinion--Practice so you dont lost to it anymore. Then, eventually it wont be a problem anymore. And youll be better. If you acctually want the sword taken out, i strongly dissagree. But, if you just want it modded so that it has a battery (like on campain), it makes it more fair.

The sad reality to all of this is.. its part of the game get over it, plenty of weapons and combos on the map to defeat the sword, so what if it doesn't take skill to beat the sword, it takes skill to beat the sword.

The sword is so dumb every time i try to slice someone it always misses and when they have the sword they always kill me so please bungie take out the sword (i hate the sword so much!!!!!! >:[ <(*..*)>

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.

Most people think the sword takes no skill. But in reality it does take skill. If the sword took no skill then i could run across the map on midship and kill you without you getting one shot on me. However if i was to "camp" at my base in a CTF game, i would have the element of surprise. Also most people don't know how to dodge the sword. Its just like dodging any other melee, crouch at the right time or move to the right at the right time.

This thread was just for the heck of it.
and I understard there are plenty of strategies
or weapons or teamwork to take out the sword
and I know its not that difficult!!!
and I know bungie cant do anything about it!

I was just curious what people thought.
thats kinda what a poll is for right?

Oh, btw, you dropped some of your lunch into b-net. I found it

Sword is a weapon that MLG decided to have to counter the shotgun and basically, they put it there for a last choice weapon, like when you are losing it's the secret weapon to turn the tide, but to grab it at the beginning and whore it is agreed a pain. But MLG want's is a sword, and that's what MLG gets on thier playlist ( Hardcore is basically MLG, except for Crazy king.. but noone likes crazy king...) i think if people have the respect to play the map as MLG hoped nad that people would simply use it when they are losing 4-1 and they grab it to turn the tide, (I've seen that happen, was a spectacular sight of screaming and swearing) then no, i like it there, a great tactical weapon, but it to be grabbed in the first 30 seconds then i gt my shotgun and go bulltrue on his ass. But i think it should stay in my opinion, but not because i want it to.

Edit- yes, Hardcore is MLG inspired
