So, on the one hand I spell it out exactly as it should be.
You follow the standard set before you by fools who can't even get a handle on the rules of their own language.

It is called not going in that area.

Or killing them before they get the chance to use the sword. I find that tactic works rather well.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

Step one - see them sprinting.

Step two - start shooting and backpedaling, not standing there staring at the glowy lights.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

As much as I hate myself for saying it: Armour Lock is pretty good at countering that too. -_-

New Zealand is pretty much the best place in the world.

Except that backpedaling is a -blam!-load slower then sprinting. Now if evade was an option...

I'd rather see movement speed increased and sprint removed.

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

I love how nobody has even bothered mentioning the shotgun. Or rockets. Or sniper. Even the concussion rifle and the grenade launcher are viable options for countering a sword charge. Pretty much any other power weapon, excluding the focus rifle, counters the sword. Of course, non-power weapons are a decent counter too if you've got a team mate near you. Pretty much everything counters the sword, provided there is room for a 'charge' to occur. In fact, I think the only strategy that doesn't counter it is 'duck and cover'. Even then you've got decent odds if you're near an inclined surface..

tl;dr What doesn't counter sword/sprint?

It's okay in BTB and Invasion, but on small maps with close range power weapons it gets annoying.

Realistically, I doubt that will happen

I fear you're right on that. Either way, it's a better counter than what Bungie created.

Baton courtesy; service with a smile

Melee/Shotgun counter works perfect...you just gotta time it just right in order to pull it off

  • 01.05.2012 9:49 PM PDT

the gun pointed at the head of the universe

shotgun or magnum. the closer they get... just empty the whole magnum clip at their face and drop em. hell, I've gotten bulltrues with the assault rifle.

The way I countered it in Arena was to use the CR in conjunction with a teamshot. Maybe a few prenades for good measure. On Sword Base, GL works amazingly.

It's also easy to no-scope a guy sprinting at you with a sword because most of the time they run at you in a straight line.
