I Think that Bungie should seriously think about lower the lunge distance with the sword and maybe even lower the damage level of it for the MC say maybe the Elites are stronger than the MC. Just a thought because to tell u the truth i dont think a person could kill someone with a sword When the other person has a gun.

Hail to the Victors! Reppin' that MAIZE n BLUE!!!
Perfect Grenade
Chill bro. Gotta get my bowl.

Just make it behave like it did in Halo1. The enemies didn't lunge at you, just meleed with it once you were in range.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

There has to be a lunge. With out it, it's a one-hit melee. Kind of dumb if you ask me.

I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum...and I'm all out of bubble gum.

Personally, I still don't see how you can fly towards someone with this weapon. I mean, Bungie has been known for having an explaination for everything. How do you fly towards someone with a sword?

No lock on lunge as in Halo 2, but lunge should be included, this way you at least have to aim it to hit the person, giving that noob weapon at least some skill to it.

Its actually a two hit melee, that swings much faster than rockets or bruteshot making it still dangerous up close. Having no lunge would add more skill to the game.

In halo 2 you have to be looking at the enemy to lunge.... and it still quires skill. Getting close enough to use it is most of the challenge. And if you are against a skilled opponent, your using the sword will be useless. It is easy to evade.

Bungie doesn't need an explanation for this. It's just a game...anything can happen in a game.

maybe not an instant lunge, but a fast sprint toward the target once locked on.

I don't remember any sword giving you the power to FLY.

True, but this is BUNGIE. Things don't just happen.

o ѕhit! it's bootleg

urm... yes you could lower the lunge but that would make it suck when exploring map, and lets face it Halo 3 would suck after 3 months if you couldent glitch

"There has to be a lunge. With out it, it's a one-hit melee. Kind of dumb if you ask me."

Sword = One hit melee kill. Can only be used at close range.

Gun = Multiple melees to kill. Shoot people from distance.

I think it makes sense. Sword sacrifices range for power.

No lunging in mid air if it is included as that is impossible. You can only be able to lunge off of solid ground. Although I think it may be best to take lunge out, as it is what caused Bungie to take out fall damage in Halo 2.

It's easy to die when you have sword vs guns cause they have a lot more range (guns, duh) and they just ave to back up. And if multiple people are shooting at you then you're screwed.

I like the sword the way it is. I think it's cool to have a weapon based solely upon sneaking up and suprising someone with a one hit kill. I don't think it requires too much skill to use but the user is overwhelmed when taking on large groups and at distances. I think up close, or in the hands of someone truly skilled the sword is an extremely overpowering weapon but I still believe that it's balanced.

I think hes talking about CQ matches like Midship, or Gemini, Lockout and other situations were there isn't a whole lot that you can do against the sword unless you got a shotgun or rocket...

I think they should put it on the battery like they did in halo 2 campaign... would would definately tone it down by far...
