How is sword block luck? You melee the second the enemy swings...thats not luck. Luck is chance based.

Timing isn't luck, but "predicting" latency is.
Usually when somone is coming to you with a sword you usually know when hes going to slash, the second he can.

LOL, real rap is not made for you, white people.

We don't expect you to "get it." And you don't, as you've made abundantly clear through your numerous embarrassing dances, karaoke performances, ignorant haters, and pitiful imitators.

You giving your opinion on rap is like a dog watching TV. It's kind of cute because it LOOKS like he knows what's going on, but you know he really has no actual ability to comprehend it.

...I mean I cant look at ToD of that match, or do you mean Viper's profile?
Shotgun, 22 kills with a buck wild.

Anyone who claims the AR takes skill ought to shoot himself in the head. Preferably with the AR because they'll most likely miss with any other weapon.

OP got wrecked because he can't use the sword properly. Cry some more.

How stupid of him, he should've lobbed the Sword across Zealot and impaled his opponent. Why would he ever use it in a CQC situation? That's idiotic. Using a CQB weapon for CQB? WHO FREAKING DOES THAT? Those dumb Iron kids. Also, Zome had millions of ways to tell that his enemy had AL. His death is justified.

I can't believe people still think that Reach is perfect and bungie can never fail.

Ah, ok...also if you noticed one of the enemies KD is 1.04 then the others 0.74 with 2 guests...so...thats is to be expected.

Reach is 100% perfect, and the single most competitive game since Candyland. Anyone who dares question the godly powers of Bungie is obviously just bad at Halo.

Just give up on Reach. Let the terrible players with no thumbs have it. It was made for them.

Then what should I play.....this game's trash, but so is every other game....and you can't expect me to crawl out of my hole and talk to people in real life, can you?

im watching you... closer than you think

armor lock is realy just overused... and sword block evens things out... before reach (halo 3 for example) the sword was unbeatable at close range... now the swordless opponent has a chance to survive... if you can't handle sword blocking then you clearly can't handle a sword... no offence

The sword is SUPPOSED TO BE UNBEATABLE AT CLOSE RANGE, you retard. It's a POWER WEAPON. If you're dumb enough to get within lunge range of the person who you failed to control the sword against, you got outplayed and you die. Armor Lock prevents this.

Are you unfamiliar with the term latency?

There's a very specific window in which one can melee for the sword block. Mastering that timing may well take skill.

Then latency comes in. It's impossible to get the sword block unless you can predict the latency well, which is a challenge in and of itself because "just in time" for you is often times "just a moment too late" to the host.

My internet blows, so I can't perform the same exploits as many can. However, it's a very valid concern that affects many elements of Reach, and it's a damn shame that Bungie didn't take that into account.
Ah, do you make it through a game? I cant stupid At&t's router disconnects all the time.

On Topic: I see what you mean but timing still is usually all I need. But like I said they could have implemented something else.

Nope because I got sniped before I could lunge again.

Another armor lock thread. Isn't it only in 2 play lists now?

Squad Slayer doesn't have armor lock.

Please stop these complaints, and yes armor lock is "Halo", because it featured in a Halo game, specifically this one.

yeah but it doesn't mean that it will be in Halo 4. Bungie even took out the equipment from Halo 3 for AA's. The equipment was "Halo" then too.

So I just watched the entire match in theater after downloading it from Vipers fileshare, and you were sword Blocked only twice, and only one caused you to die, yet there was an enemy behind you. You were being double teamed.

Firefight is made to AFK in. That's Reach's "Investment" system

As long as you can use it too it's balanced (technically).
Have fun with your anger.

WTFJH - What the -Blam- Just Happened

HOLY -blam!- YOU GOT ZEALOT!!!!!!!!!!
Now that, that is out of my system...
That was kind of sad you should have backed off while throwing a grenade and switching to your secondary weapon (I forgot to look at it in the video) and immediatly blast as soon as they get out of AL. After that is done switch to the sword and try to be ninja and stay outa the middle of zealot with that usaully.
