So whenevr i sword clash with another player on swords, the other player always takes another swing and beatsme before ive even recovered from my first swing. We both clash, i havent recovered from a swing and yet he is ready to take another lunge and kill me

Is there something wrong with my right trigger? Or are they doing something right i am not?

You press B (or whatever your beatdown button is). RT is only if they haven't spotted you.

Then your connection is either slow or the guy had host.

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

I had this problem as well, my friend used it against me until he told me what to do.

After you lunge (RT), immediately hit B. Keep button smashing B if you continue to fight. It takes a bit of practice, but you'll get it eventually.

If this doesn't work, lag or he was host.

The servers are fine, it's just the people you play with. The host must have bad connection.

I changed usernames to match my gamertag. My original account, wambo114, was created when I got xbox live. I'm a 2007 kid really!

Pretty sure you're trolling... but anyway: melee first followed by another melee is the best thing to do in swords, in a straight up fight. The lunge is useful, but not very often.

A bit of an odd way to troll, asking a question lol

I run Skirmish!!!

your obviously using RT, if your playing bumper jumper controls hit right bumper if default hit the B button instead of RT.. Only use RT when sneaking up on someone or if they are not paying attention

You press B first as well, you never use the trigger.

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

Melee is faster than the trigger. Some tips are that you should switch to boxer settins for swords because it's a lot easier to win fights and raise your sensitivity.

Only use trigger when you are behind and lunging for an assassination.

Bumper Jumper FTW, bro!

Seriously though, you need to just mash the standard melee button like a maniac.

  • 05.20.2012 5:51 PM PDT

As many have mentioned in this thread, you need to start with the melee, (B) on default (Right Bumper) on bumper jumper.

However I haven't seen anyone mention that when using the melee you NEED to hold forward at all times. The melee has a much shorter lunge than the right trigger, and sometimes no lunge at all. Just keep holding forward and smashing that melee button..

PS> swords are ghay!! lol

Do I really need a signature?

B is a faster beat down than regular trigger so when you're in a sword fight always hit B not RT.

Use Lung-Melee
