holy crap i'm so sick of hearing little noobs whining about how unfair the friggin sword is. it isn't an unfair advantage, get a rocket launcher or something and actually try to kill him instead of whining about how he's better then you
Alright, take this example: The game is 4v4 slayer on Lockout. You spawn next to the Sword, so you pick it up. I spawn with SMG, and my friends get the BR, the Sniper, etc. So I'm left with the SMG.
We are on the Sniper tower, but I see that no one has grabbed the BR by the grav-lift, so I run for it. But halfway there, you run at me with the sword, my teammates are not in good positions to help me, and I have no plasma grenades. So you beat me down, and proceed to t-bag me because you think you're good with the sword.
You having the sword doesn't make everyone else "noobs", and it doesn't make you better than me. Getting a certain weapon is a lot harder than you make it sound. Also, why can't you just have an intelligent discussion instead of pulling the "High-and-mighty-I'm-better-than-everyone-else-becau se-I-have -the-sword-and-they-have-the-SMG" card.
Woooow...am I the only one here that could easily take out a sword guy with an SMG?
I don't like you following me around. I don't swing that way, if you catch my drift.

4on4 Team Slayer has you spawn with 2 frags. If you were smart, you'd chuck at least one when you spotted sword man(depending on how close) and the unload your SMG into him. The SMG IS a fairly good anti-sword weapon. Plus, the Sniper tower has an excellent view of the elevator and most of the area in between.
If I'm running to the grav-lift, I may not necessarily be focused on other places. I can't be looking everywhere at once. I have taken out many sword guys with an SMG, but me doing that doesn't change the fact that the sword is overpowered. Especially since wielding a sword lets you lunge ten feet, somehow.
The sword is a great idea for multiplayer, don't get me wrong. I just think it's stupid that you are able to lunge with it. I say take out the lunge and make it have ammo. It could still kill in one slice, that's fine, but just take out the lunge and give it ammo.
