Doesn't stop it from being an unbalanced weapon.

Don't....you're going to start him on his Halo 2 isn't balanced and pro's should be testing the game not the average joe.

Wow, sword is way more unbalanced then rockets! Rockets work sooooo ineffectivly at a distance and CLOSE range. You can pretty much dodge them from anywhere, whereas sword dodging is much more difficult not to mention it is pure luck. Snipe can take otu both with out problems, BR can take out all three with out problems.
Many games are determined because of the sword

Neither can the shotgun.

Come at me from whatever direction you like!

Why would you want it balanced? It's a power weapon . . . a pivital point of lots of games like the sniper or rockets . . . but can easily be dealt with with a grenade and an SMG or even a single magnum. . . it makes the game interesting . . . .would you want every weapon the same?

I like how there's no switch delay. The 13 shot kill Magnum has an animation to toggle the safety off but the one hit sword is ready to lunge instantly before it's fully powered up. One second you're shooting someone and the next millisecond waiting for a respawn. I remember getting sliced up so fast I didn't even see a sword or hear a slash sound. It just looked like I was punched in the gut by someone with brass knuckles. Honestly there should be a downside to carrying a hidden sword that can be ready to kill with no charge delay. Even a split second switch delay would help alleviate some of the cheapness associated with the weapon.

And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.

Keep the sword how it is, and just make the shotgun how it was in Halo CE. A non-host shotgun should be able to take on a sword.

Halo's a hell of a drug.

  • 06.21.2006 10:44 AM PDT

If 4 out of 5 people suffer from constipation, does that mean the 5th one enjoys it???

So im guessing you all have Halo 3 already.
