haha OP sucks with sword XD

No seriously, you do, I have never even once been killed by an armor locker while I was wielding it.

It's part of the game, accept the fact that you are dying in video game shooters.
Heerrrrrrrrp.

He wasn't killed by the armor lock he was killed by the sword block.

if you havent been killed by sword block you're just lucky.

Great argument. Let me try that tactic against your points. "Blah Blah Blah." No. You are moronic.
Cool. You just mimicked the title.

Now you just have to mimic the body, filled with reasoning and logic.
Not merely that, but also mimic the body with an argument that hasn't already been refuted thus far into the thread. Good luck!

Yeah, it'd be nice to argue something that hasn't already been brought up then thrashed down for a change.

I like it, the DMR has long range and precision.

Plus bloom lowers spamming.

I lost a game of Doubles because of the Sword Block earlier.

Both times on Countdown we had the Sword I got Sword blocked by the guy who was just blindly meleeing me when I surprised his unaware ass, and both times he was rewarded with a kill as his teammate cleaned me up.

The first time we were winning, the second time we were losing but on a big comeback. I seriously believe that Sword Block lost us the game, because controlling the Sword + Shotty is the key to winning Countdown, and the team we were against we had flattened the game before.

Both times gave them control of both power weapons.

I've never raged that hard at Sword Block before but I really did today.

How am I supposed to adapt? By not using the Sword? By ONLY camping with it round corners?

It's a stupid, inconsistent mechanic that needs to be removed.

AL. Well I don't even need to go there. We all know how retarded it is.

This.

And it's honestly what some of these people are (most of them not knowingly) arguing for.

Great DAY

I bet 1 million Credits they're going to get rid of the sword block in Halo: Reach with the Title Update.

To be fair Zome, in that vid on Zealot you posted you should have stepped back after his first AL, and anticipated the second through a feint. It's pretty much my standard Sword tactic against AL nowadays.

That's not to say I'm defending the inclusion of these 2 ridiculous mechanics, just pointing it out I guess.

But there is absolutely nothing you can do about the sword block, and both mechanics are equally retarded.

And the teabagging was infuriating.

Why are you here?

Why did he teabag anyway? To celebrate the fact he can use 2 retarded tactics to win?

While you aren't defending the two mechanics of gameplay, Zome's second swing made no difference (Zome gives a better explanation in the post below mine as well). Which even further exposes the silliness of the two mechanics combined.

Fair point, but want to know why I disagree?

Because I beat the Armor Lock portion of the battle. I'd have killed him if it wasn't for the Sword Block at the end. What I did worked entirely fine. Everything I did right was negated by the Sword Block.

Say the last slash wasn't blocked. He'd have been dead and what I did would've been considered 'the correct thing to do'.

He hit the guy twice while he was in AL.

I'm saying after the guy popped in Zome could have faked a second swing (just walked towards him as if to swing again) to make the guy exhaust his AL, thus giving him a very easy kill once the guy popped out by doing a real swing. It's what I always do against ALers now and it normally works, provided his teammate doesn't come along.

Not defending the mechanic, once again. Zome totally outplayed this guy, but still lost. That's not the way it should have been. Zome dying could have -potentially- been avoided, but that's not the point - the two mechanics are still retarded and robbed him of a kill at that point. And there was nothing he could have done to prevent the Sword Blocking.

Yeah that's true actually, I didn't think about that. You're right.

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

Armor lock and Sword Block are both pure bs. Sorry, they don't belong in a "Competitive, fair" game.

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I kill a Sword guy through Sword blocking then shooting him, I feel like a complete retard. I let the guy run right up to me and stab me in the face, and still somehow walked out of it alive by blindly swinging at him with my fists like an idiot.

I feel sometimes like this game rewards me for playing like a complete moron - Sword Block and AL are the epitome of this.

I don't mind Sword Block, but I can see why people hate it. As for Armor Lock, it just simply needs to go. ASAP.

Yeah, not necessarily.

But still, I was playing BTB last night. Objective was sooo awesome. I got like 5 Vehicular Manslaughters.

..Then came Slayer. Whoo. Now I have to take 10 seconds to shoot at you because of your crutch. Thanks.
