Subject: Lack of Sword Block

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.

im glad they fixed the betrayals, but you can no longer betray eachother to get ammo. But im pretty sure you can still sword block i did one just the other day, you might want to check that again dude. but you definatly have a good argument

You can sword block on infection still yes, but on slayer and such anything with TU in the title of the match has removed sword cancelling.

It's not so much as a game changing adjustment as it's something that was pretty neat to have yanno?

Sword blocking is as logical as being able to walk on the sun.

On a side note: sword block can drown in a pool of acid lemonade

I see not many agree so I appreciate the support :)


The only reason I posted a thread about it was because my boyfriend was sick of hearing me complain about it and said I should either email the company or discuss it with those who may agree.

So I tried XD

And now I'm off to work

Always up for REACH customs!

Sword Block only makes sense in a world where Rocket Block, Sniper Block, Shotgun Block and Hammer Block make sense.
