I like sword block. It gives a person with a weaker weapon like the AR and chance to defend themselves and if the sword whore new how to swing he wouldn't get blocked in the first place.

I hope you're joking.


No, when someone is coming at me with a sword I'd like to be able to defend myself.

Then don't suck, prevent them from getting the Sword earlier.

Have you ever played abridge? It spawns every 1:30. Unless you're camping like a noob, they're gonna get their hands on it.

Why aren't rocket whores kept in check? Or shotgun whores? Or laser whores?

Where's my rocket block?

Sword Block: Imagine a Jedi slicing Storm Troopers in half with his Lightsaber. But one of the Troopers raises his wrist up. His wrist somehow stops the saber. Yes there are materials that can deflect a Lightsaber like Mandalorian iron.

But anyway his wrist armor would be made out of the same material as the rest of his armor. So if the saber can cut through the chest armor. It should be able to cut through the wrist. Becasue it's the same material.

Armor Derp? Is that Reach forum speak for Armor Lock?

If so then yeah that is the universal counter for anything in Reach, but I was looking for mechanics a little more specific to each weapon.

Other than the fact it's physically impossible? It's just plain dumb and pointless to nerf the already weakest melee weapon. Where's the shotgun block? It makes even more sense than blocking 25 million degree plasma.

If you want to bring in realism. 5 shotting a Spartan would be inpossible too. What with the energy shields (which wouldn't pop after four standard 7.62mm rounds), MJOLNIR armor, and ceramic reinforced bone.

That wouldn't surprise me. Majority of the population on the 343I forums are Reachtards, and morons.

I don't think you've clarified this yet, but why do "sword whores" need to be kept in check?

Or instead of the armor locker killing you. He stays in armor lock then his entire team saves his ass.

If you need a counter; use a shotgun.
There is a problem with this too. When the enemy who has sword comes at you and you "bulltrue" him but his dead body drops the sword on you.

Sword block renders the very term "power weapon" for the sword irrelevant. If it can be blocked that easily, it's not even worth picking up.


exactly, why not have a grav hammer block? It's a melee weapon so it deserves to have a counter right the grav hammer is exactly like the sword (melee weapon) so it should right?
(HIMO I think that the sword block is not right and should not have been implemented)

I don't care if you like it, it's a stupid mechanic that doesn't belong - nor does it make sense.

That person has the weaker weapon for a reason - they were too dumb to pick up and control the sword themselves.

Knew how to swing the sword properly? What? It doesn't matter how I swing the sword if they have the right connection - they'll block it.

You say 'sword who­re' as if that's a bad thing. You sound like a butthurt retard and that's typically unlike you from what I've seen on these forums. Controlling weapons is never a bad thing. That's like saying - YOU'RE A ROCKET WH­ORE SINCE YOU PICKED THOSE UP BEFORE ME. You'd pick it up too had you the chance, and if you didn't pick it up, then you're retarded.

No, when someone is coming at me with a sword I'd like to be able to defend myself.
You defend yourself with the following:

1. A power weapon of your own.
2. Positioning so the sword weilder can't get you.
3. Team work.
4. Having the sword yourself.

If you can't do one of those 4 things, then you deserve to get killed by it over and over again. You've given up your own defense.


Maybe some people choose not to take the easy way out on this game...I choose not to pick up the sword because its to easy to get kills with it! I choose not to use the plasma pistol because its to easy also! I would rather have a negative k/d with skill weapons than have a positive k/d with puzzy weapons!
