Subject: Wouldn't it be cool id swords could cancel each other out?

Ok so lets say you lock on to someone the same time they do with a sword, u swing at each other and instead of just having the luck of the draw as to who dies, the swords hit each other and both player get sent back a little and they try again. It would have sword fights more interesting, less frustrating, and make sense since the covi swords are suppose to be these really poweful things kinda like SW lightsabers. Thats not to say and try to make it not Halo style, just a cool little reaction (which is what Halo gameplay is really all about action-reaction)

Whatcha think?

Yeah, but I think that would be hard for Bungie to do. If they could get that to work that would be awesome.

PC gamer Computer Gamers Join both if you play PC games!

Marine: Damn right, I'm running away! There's two of us, alone, on foot, no weapons, and four hundred Covies on the other side of that hill. What are you going to do, tough guy--field-rig a railgun out of a rubber band and my dental fillings?

Spartan (speculatively): You have fillings...?

What if u could kick people.Just imagine u r walkin along you press B and then , the chief holds the gun in one hand and uses his other hand to balance as the camera tilts sideways u see your boot hit somebody in the face.And after that u swing back around and hold the gun normally.

Thats what I thought for bullets hitting bullets but nope, my friend and another sniper shot at eachother and there was a small explosion in mid air and they both were still alive.

lol see xyodax? why u always gotta be a nay-sayer man?

  • 06.04.2006 3:01 PM PDT

Saboteur.

It would be cool If you hit eachother, and were thrown back and land on your back. Or like go into this duel thing, and you would have to rapidly press a button to win the duel. But im just imagining, it prolly wont happen, but it would be really cool. :D

i think it would be cool if they incorporated a timing based parry, sort of how it worked on Condemned.

I dont think that would be a very good idea at all I mean it would take away from sword matches they would become super lame good people could hit at each other for hours not doing any damage to the other person. So all in all this is not a good idea in my mind the sword is supposed to be powerfull do that to it and it will become something that is less feared as long as your packing the right equipment. So Final answer hell no

well it would still be feared unless u had anotherr sword, thats the whole idea man, its just a way to try and not leave it up to a matter of bassically luck, but more skil involed in hitting someone, maybe Elites (or Arbiter in campain) would not have to deal with this and could never be blocked. Hey what about that? Blocking with the sword? now are we getting somewhere?
