Sword - Elite's

Elites aren't in Halo 3: ODST so no sword.

僕を判断しないでください。

can you please explain the difference between the Halo2 sword and the Halo3 sword?

  • 08.14.2009 8:55 AM PDT

the difference is you can lunge much farther in halo 2 and there isn't an eternal battle when two people each have swords and you can also swing faster in halo 2

The only difference is that it's more round in shape and you hold it in a different stance. That's it.

what i mean is that in halo 2 it is much more useful. if you still have a copy of halo 2, put it in your Xbox and you will notice a considerable difference in capabilities

There's a few seconds of delay when you pull out the Halo 3 sword before you can attack. With the Halo 2 one you could attack instantly.

in halo 2 you could also take out your sword and attack almost immediately, as opposed to in halo 3 where there is a considerable interval between when you switch to your sword and when you can start attacking with it. this made playing swords/shotguns on lockout, warlock, and midship the best. but when they nerfed up the sword in halo 3, swords/shotguns just wasn't the same.

This is another thing that was wrong with Halo 2 along with the Button Combo's

They are not in any of the new games.

Definately. But there's a weak chance that'll happen in Halo: ODST

Stop being such a Jim.

Why don't you shut up?

ODST doesnt even have swords... or so I heard...
so what good would it do you?
