Hi.

I HATE SWORD BLOCK
"Hey, I'm gonna go up a vent that's right next to the sword spawn. There's also a couple people up there, so this is a good choice for me to go up it!"

^ It's sad that that logic just prevailed. xD

I don't understand why the first few threads on the first page were marked as breaking the Code of Conduct, people on this forum need to quit being so cynical, it's just a game, in the end the person who posted is still a human being

If you aren't paralyzed with fear yet, you haven't been paying close enough attention.

Well, it's too bad that nothing's going to happen to either Armor Lock or sword block no matter how much you or anyone else moans. Adapting is the only logical thing to do because it's your only option.

I've adapted to what's possible to adapt to, don't worry.

It's also very illogical to say nothing will change, seeing as there's a Title Update right around the corner.

I am on fire. Instead of fixing that by putting the fire out, I should adapt to the pain and lack of skin.

The thing is, we don't know that the update will change AL or SB. Given the evidence we already have of what will be, what's the more logical decision: adapt to what could possibly always be the status quo or hope for an (in my opinion, unnecessary) update that will change it, even though there's nothing indicating that will happen?

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.

You can adapt to my nuts in your mouth, does that mean you'll enjoy it?

But who said I haven't adapted? And how can you adapt to Sword Block, in, let's say, the instance of my video? The guy got lucky, there was nothing I could've done to adapt.

I'm not going to restrain myself from complaining if I don't want to.

If they are -blam!- or a female they might.

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

Sword block is pretty derpy. They should make the window it is available in it much smaller. It should be something that requires amazing timing. That makes it more of a trick then a 'I'll randomly survive' tool.

If he did get lucky, then yes, the only way to make you the winner of that situation would be for the game mechanics to change and your preparedness wouldn't have mattered. To that, all I can say is "-blam- happens". But if the only reason you died was because of the other guy's luck, the I'd say the game worked perfectly, creating an environment where you win sometimes and lose sometimes.

Nah. See, the reason why it's so random is simply because of latency. As it stands, Sword Block is basically (Yes, I've said this before) 1/3 timing, 1/3 luck, 1/3 connection. The lower the window you create for this to happen, the higher the luck and connection part of the ratio goes up.

It's just not a good way to solve the Sword/Sprint 'issue'. The idea itself is connection and luck dependent, no matter what you do with it.

The problem lies solely in connection.

It's the same reason fighting games are somewhat hard to pull off online. The actual Sword Block mechanic could have a small window however because of lag the window is made larger or smaller.

I have a nuclear bomb strapped to my forehead. Instead of fixing the problem and disarming it, I should adapt to the burning nuclear death that awaits me.

Again, dumb analogies are dumb.

By the way though... removing the bomb from your forehead is adapting, just as putting on a coat when you're cold is adapting. Same goes for going to school or work with a cold, you are living with it and dealing with it. Also you have adapted away from eating raw meat.

Just because it inverted doesn't mean you are a girl, so thus you don't have to adapt to being a girl.

Just because you adapt, doesn't mean you like the change. I am a good example of that.
