A: It’s impossible.
I’ve taken a lot of these from posts I’ve seen about the sword in New Mombasa, they aren’t direct quotations, to keep it legible. But somehow, the poster felt that this was a compelling argument, and wondered why Bungie did not give full attention to his problems. Obviously, there are many of these conflicting arguments…
Sword-“The only way to kill a guy with a sword is to stay 20 feet away!”
Sword, 2 “It has too short a range!”
Sword, 3 “It shouldn’t be one hit kill!”
Sword, 4 “ ‘T3h NeWbz’ kill me with it, take it out!”
Sword, 5 “There should be two in each map, to make it even.”
Sword, 6 “Why isn’t it exactly like Halo CE? I hate new things!”
Shotgun-"It's too powerful up close! Some "N3wb" killed me with it. Me! The game is so broken! Me died!"
Shotgun, 2 "It fires TOO SLOW! Take it out!"
Turrets-“They pin me down against walls, and there is nothing I can do!”
Turrets, 2 “I keep getting sniped/melee’d/shot/rocketed out of them! Take them out!”
Magnum-“I want my old, powerful sidearm back!”
Magnum, 2 “Dual Magnums kill TOO quickly! Take it out!”
Plasma Pistol-“Why is it so weak now? It was better in Halo CE! Take it out!"
Plasma Pistol, 2 “It took away all my shields, and it homes in! Overpowered! Take it out!”
Battle Rifle-“It’s not a pistol! It’s too weak!”
Battle Rifle, 2 “ I got shot in the head four times, and DIED! Take it out!”
Carbine-“Too over powered! Give me back my pistol!”
Carbine, 2 “Not enough carbines on maps!11 Arr, I’m mad at Bungie!”
Rocket Launcher-“It homes in and hits me! Take it out!”
Rocket Launcher, 2 “It missed! Take it out!”
Ghosts-“They go too fast when boosting, and run me over!
”
Ghosts, 2 “They are too easy to board!” Take it out!”
Banshee-“It can fly away, and dominate the map! Too powerful!”
Banshee, 2 “What happened to the Banshees fuel rod cannon? It’s too weak!”
Wraith, “It’s too slow”
Wraith, 2 “It boosted and squished me! Ahh! I can’t lose! Never! Something killed me! Ahh!...Take it out!”
