Because It's a completely skill-less random gametype that has no place in anything ranked. It's pretty much a sure win if you have host, and a guaranteed non placement if you have a bad connection to the host.

If Swords were one Lone Wolves more often there would be a lot of Generals and Level 50s, because it takes no skill what-so-ever.

Because it sucks. I just quit right when the game starts when I get it. I'd rather play something with BR's. It takes no skill either.

I played that a few times and it was a blast. They shouldn't have taken it out. :'(

Because the mechanics of sword on sword gameplay combined with the netcode of Halo 3 significantly limits the abilities of players to influence the outcome of the game to the point that it becomes very difficult to distinguish varying degree's of skill among players in a particular game, especially when those players' skills are close.


Happy, you nitpicking f­aggot.

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!
Then it is an even fight.

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

A big thanks to kids that did this to 343 after they heard they get an infection game mode in halo 4 with no thought of normal playlists.

I played it and 3 out of the 5 players quit, leaving me with 1 guy to kill Repeatedly.

If it takes no skill and only host, how come I have a walmart connection and finish in the top 2 in almost every game of swords I play. There is a technique to playing swords just like any other game type. That's about the same as the people that despise ARs saying they take no skill. There are good and bad people at any game type.
