i really like swords! and i saw it as an opportunity to get the triple kill sword achievement
i managed to get 4 double kills, but no triple kill
i have played a lot of lone wolves matches, probably around 75+, and come across one swords match
a little variance doesn't do anyone any harm

Wow. I'm sick of Swords in LW already. I must get it like every two matches. Or even every match. It's also ridiculous because people just throw grenades around.

On the pit they need to take the stupid turrets out (not sure if they are there in rumble pit.they are in multi team though). The turrets are there in swords and hammers. If you don't grab it yourself you will just get screwed...not fun at all.

YEh - grenades need to be taken out of swords

HOWEVER, grenades are great for taking care of turret spammers on the pit.

I've had 2 triple kills on swords so far but both have been with a grenade kill or a 'guardians' - pretty annoying.

I like swords too, and on Epitaph/Guardian I usually win with 4-5 double kills, but no triple kills. I take out two people (somehow) and by then my health i in the red and someone else kills me. Can anyone offer any advice?

I totally agree... take out the turrets on The Pit... because someone ALWAYS goes for them. I vote to keep grenades in swords until that would get taken care of.

Entirely possible. Video of me getting a legit Steppin Razor and a bunch of other tough achievements in my File Share.

Definately... Imagine having turrets without grenades to counteract them.

swords is a fun game type. The only thing i cannot figure out is after a sword clash, the competitor seems to be able to swing faster than I am. Like i am stunned after the clash and the other is fine? Dont' get me wrong, i understand it being about connection, latency, etc; but i have also had it work in my favor. I enjoy the swords, agree that the nades become the primary weapon in most matches, but every game type has a downfall. Overall great addition. I have been so close to an overkill since they have added the sixth man to LW, but a nade goes pow and i go down. Snowbound gets crazy cuz everyone is in the damn lil room at the bottom and shotty spawn.

swords is all about the B button. gotta know when to pull the trigger and when to hit B. swords is the only game type i will play while using the claw. after getting it twice in a row in multi team my finger starts hurting XD i love how bungie put in the clang, it gives sword matches a whole new style and lv of play. i don't mind the grenades, but the turrets have got to go from swords

When you're pulling the right trigger, they're hitting B to block you and can swing again right away, again with the B button.

HAHAHA...This reminded me of a game a fews days ago when i did get my overkill. It was Slayer on Guardian, and everyone got lagged. I was chucking grenades around like crazy. When the game caught back up to itself it said, "Overkill" . I was like...sweet. Then it said achievment unlocked...and all was happy in the universe.
