This is elementary school problem solving.

Sword Block is OP? Are you serious? H3 was insane with the sword, no way to defend against other than long range weapons/shotgun. It was waaay OP.
Funny, because the only reason Sword Block was implemented is because of the Sword/Sprint combo. This being said, there wasn't Sprint in Halo 3, therefore you just have proven that you don't even know what you're arguing about.

Armor Lock whining again.. I'm too tired to fight, but I'm not folding. Read this. And don't you dare to say "tl:dr".
I've read it and it's retarded. Also, look at most quoted post in that thread. That too is saying something.

The AL doesn't have anything wrong with it, it's just a problem of people unable to counter it.. Because I'm in a good mood, I'll give you one tip now. Keep your distance!
This isn't even addressing the problem.

Sword block is 100% connection based. Get that crap out of here.

Sword block is essential.
You'd have to be retarded to think this.

Yes it is, stop playing Playlists with AL and stop whining..
I play Invasion/Team Slayer every day and I have no problem with it, people use it and get killed anyways. So why do you have a problem?

The reason why AL was implemented was because of the Sprint + double melee. If you had read the thread's first chapter, you would've known this.
Imo sprint + double melee is worse than AL because it's more common now.
And I have played H3 enough to know it was OP as hell, except if you had a sword as well, then it was just about timing (just like sword block, but without the need of an another sword).

Then what you do when you see someone armor lock? Go right next to it? Anyone with AL is easy to counter with little distance, one nade and a weapon.

It depends on the situation.

My team was getting destroyed by a rambo swordsman. If they knew how to block, the score would have been different.

I would imagine more games to be like that if it was removed.
then u could do the unthinkable and make an organized push or flank.

or just time the damn weapon and make sure they dont get it in the first place.

Then that's your fault; go in as a random, assume the role of a random.

Sprinting and pummeling is too easy.
So is Jetpacking + Rocketing. Where's the specially designed block just for that?

I love how you just agreed with me basically saying that your point is invalid. You're telling me to avoid the problem, but I feel like actually solving it.

Again, indirectly solving the problem.

I've played nearly 22 times the amount of Halo 3 as you. You're hollow point is crap.

Completely ignorant toward the idea of map control, power weapons, latency (connection), and much, much more.

In most cases, yes. In the case in the video? No. I've explained why 3+ times. Go find it. Regardless, this is just ignoring the problem(s).

The majority of the people playing are loners.


The jetpack should be written in your OT.
The majority of people are also bad at the game.
Jetpack is broken as well, but that's a totally different kind of problem meant for another thread.

Besides, this thread was reported (and then cleared by the moderators as good). Once your thread is reported enough, you can't edit the original post.

Agreed. So, fix the problem directly by either changing the melee system or making the damage of melees 75%, rather than the normal 100%.

The sword is a one-hit kill. I doubt that they will ever change that.

The only reason that I believe that the block should stay.

You said "pummeled", so I assumed you weren't talking about the Sword any more.

So, back to your point; Using Sprint/Sword is too easy. OK. So, change the draw time on the Sword when coming out of Sprint. You don't have to ruin the Sword for all situations just to make it more fair in the hands of a Sprinting person.

Oh, please do tell me how to adapt to the Sword Block that killed me in the video.
