I have several Ideas.
A. When you lunge, if the other person doesn't block it ,you actually stab the other person where you are aiming. if the other person blocks, you clash.
B. When you lunge and the other person blocks it, you both have a fraction of a second to push whatever button your xbox indicates, if you both get it, you clash again. Then, you both have to press 2 buttons in a fraction of a second and so on til someone cant hit the right buttons. then you stab them in the face all pro and whatnot. If you jump and lunge, you jump and lunge really quick, and the other player has to press a random button faster than you do and if he does, he either jumps out of the way or, if he can hit three random buttons super fast, blocks you, knocks you down, and stabs you in the face.
C. Same as halo 3, you randomly swipe the sword and kill your opponent.
D. Same as halo 2, no clashing, same random swipes.

Please stat you own Ideas and improve on mine.

I like B with some other changes.

basically it's the same idea, except that you have to either press B or RT (chosen randomly).
if one presses the wrong button, then you kill him. if both miss, the duel stops. and you have little time to press it (0.4 seconds, let's say).

and when you lunge and the enemy has a sword too, the enemy has to press either RT or B (chosen randomly again) or else it'll not make a duel and you kill them.


it'd make lunging useful now...

No quick time events. EVER.
I'd like a style like in Oblivion, a block (press B,) a stab (Tap R) and lunge (hold down R.)
Then again, the system now is fine.
