my advice is to jump when you see someone, that gives you time for an attack, and they have to look up to find you, since they weren't expecting it

this should be in New Mombossa btw..i think...

jump diagonally and stick him or shoot him like a maniac. If he's too close, jump over him. If he's within arm's reach, you're screwed.

back up but make sure you are close enough for him to lunge at you...
then when he lunges wip out your shotgun and kill him in mid air

Use your frag grenades to your advantage, as hes running towards you a frag grenade at his feet should but you some time

just play bullfighter with the bastard. slash and backstep and sidestep when he tries to lunge. Of course you can keep slashing if he hesitates after the initial strike. You just gotta read your opponent.

I am the sword specialist in my clan. My friends and I started a clan recently and are awaiting the release of Halo 2 for the PC (God-willing).

As for defending against a sword attack, that's part of why I am a swordsman (the other part is that I look so friggin' cool gettin' up in Jake's sniping face and making diced ham of him). While possible, it is difficult. The secret to good sword attacks is to vary between locked thrusts and melee combos coupled with assasination to raise your body count. My suggestion for sword defense would be to either use plasma s, fully automatic weapons, or try for a melee strike in the back of their head if they over thrust you. Try softening them up with s as they charge, and then shoot them with a close-range gun or cut them down with your own sword. If that fails, just kiss yourself goodbye.

Pretty much this sums it up. Move away from the guy shoot him with whatever you have and pretty much thats it. If he's to close good bye. ^_^

use the shotty. when people lunge they stop when there really close when they lunge just shoot.


PS: sword is -blam!-

First of all you have to not suck. I got good at strafing to the side when somebody tried to smack me in Halo 1. As they went by (missing) I hit them in the back of the head. I do the same for the sword on Halo 2. You just have to adjust your timing. I win about ¾ of the duels when they have a sword and I don’t. When they lunge from a long ways away if they miss they are in precarious position for a second. Use that second to smack them in the back of the bean.

I have already written 'bout this but I'll do it again. O.K. first of all you'll need a plasma pistol and an SMG, now sneak up on your slash-happy friend and blast him to take out the pissant's shield then let loose a couple of SMG bullets towards the worthless scum.


P.S. Thanks are accepted and apreciated.

Ok so what he is saying is the next time there is a guy with a sword you have to go and find a Plasma pistol. Any advice on killing a person that starts with “you need a….” Is wrong advice. You can kill anybody with any weapon no matter what weapon they have. You just have to not suck.

Actually if somebody locks on to you with the energy sword there is no way to dodge it unless you get in a vehicle and drive or bosst away. Oh and dont use the rocket launcher on him if you do you will both die.
