Which melee weapon is superior?

To make a justifiable decision is quite hard as each weapon has unique qualities, some of which are effective, some not.

For example, the gravity hammer has an area-effect which can harm enemies even if the hammer doesn't make contact while the energy sword can lunge further than the gravity hammer.

What do you guys think?

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

energy sword,it takes more skill to kill a guy swinging a hammer which has splash damage with a sword

especially in grifball

Sword because of the melee lunge. While if an energy Sword user and a Grav-Hammer user facing each other will usually result in the Hammer winning, this only occurs in Grifball anyway.
Too bad in Reach the Grav Hammer is now superior due to Sword Blocking.

If I never ever made another cent
I still really wouldn't be so worried
Gold dust at my feet

*insert funny phrase/life changing phrase/well known phrase/a check to Draco363*

I like the sword better but it's easier to defeat an energy sword wielder with a gravity hammer becuase you can stop them in their tracks

I would assume the sword would win, simply because of the lunge, but i guess it would depend if you were face to face running at each other or other factors.

  • 08.31.2010 12:29 PM PDT

well,it depends what your up against,really.a sword vs sword match is all about timing,as with the grav ham,but a clash of the two would quite usually result in the sword winning.but its still got a lot of timing in :-P

In it for the lulz... and gamerscore

Sword, in a nod to Halo 2... ahhhh, the good ole' days.

What spectagon are you in?

It depends. In a 1v1 situation the gravity hammer would win most of the time.
But in a normal game where gravity hammers and swords are placed around the map a long with other weapons I would say the sword is more useful because of the lunge range.

  • 08.31.2010 1:26 PM PDT

well it all depends, the hammer will win if it gets a direct hit, but the sword will win if the hammer misses because the hammer is slow to pick up

Melee weapons are for noobs who can't aim.
BR is only for Brigadiers or Generals or MLG in other words: PROS.
