I've never ever posted in these forums before so if I'm doing something wrong, please alert me :)
I will gladly change/delete/move this thread.
As you all know Reach has had something called the TU: Title Update added to it. Recently anything with TU in it has removed sword cancelling. The most prominent argument I hear against sword cancelling is "it's not physically possible, your arm would be cut off". I do acknowledge that this is probably true, however we must remind ourselves that it is just a game.
What I'd like to state is, in my opinion, sword cancel should not be removed as it does take a bit of skill and timing to accomplish. So you can counteract that guy who runs around with the sword all game. I even find when people sword block me to be rather interesting.
On a side note: Taking out friendly fire on infection has upset a lot of people. And I'm not just talking the random guest that joined just to betray people. I dont know much about programming but I believe to fix that "initial" issue with betraying after you kill a zombie and die would be to have the player respawn as a zombie, not become one as soon as he's killed. Friendly fire was used by long standing infection playing to help a team mate regain ammo.
