What is the difference between the sword lunge and sword splash. Could it be made for H3?
Uhh im clueless here on the difference. Maybe the mods could answer this without deleting it. Maybe they could move it if it doesn't belong here.

Ive never heard of a sword splash but considering that the opposite is the sword lunge as you say the sword splash is probably what happens when you are to close to someone to lunge so it takes out their shields and you have to hit them again for the kill, instead of the usual one hit kill.

Carrots.

A sword lunge skills.
A sword its not a sword splash, its sword S L A S H, SLASH, and the slash doesn't kill, the lunge does.

usually "Splash Damage" has to do with weapons like rocket launchers. Say for instance you shoot at the guy and the rocket hits the ground 3 feet to the side of him, depending on how strong the splash damage is, it could hurt, kill, or do nothing to him. So as for Sword Splash, i think it makes no sense at all.

I did mean "splash" not slash. I was wondering though could it be the thing that the elites did in H1 where they make a big swing to kill you in 1 hit with the sword?

Ahh, you mean, the "360 Degree Swing of Destruction and Death". If you watch and elite when they lunge, sometimes they do that exact swing...I think it looks kind of cool.

I just dont see how you could hate the blade of death...but thats me, i think the sword is the coolest weapon. If they take out the lunge then they have to keep the B button mini-lunge and make it a 1 hit kill, otherwise the sword will be unbalanced compared to guns, the lunge fixes that, so they should keep it. I thought the Halo 1 sword looked cooler tho, the way it glows and stuff.

Wow! Typos are abundant here. Haha, he said "Skills" now, instead of "Kills".

Ok, here we go.

Sword Lunge = One hit kill (Haha! I just typed "Skill" at first)
Sword Slash = Half-Damage unless you're in the air coming down on your opponent, then it too, is an instant kill.

I'd love to see it come back, only with a battery like in Singleplayer... But still, it served it's purpose well. :)
