Butt ugly ape” remarked Sergeant Johnson always making fun out of the situation even though he had been hit by a spiker round in the arm. He mustered up the strength to continue and the team moved on. The Arbiter informed him that the next room held The Prophet of Truth and this was the final room before extraction. Jun proposed that he takes a shot from a distance the prophet and they all head back to the ship bay for extraction. The team agreed on this and breached the last door…

Ok. Don't Flame me here.

Halo Maps are starting to get bigger and bigger, right?

Those two weapons rely on close-range, so bigger maps=less close range.
(I think thats why343 brought back battle rifle to mix things up a little in medium to long range)

People can see you coming with the hammer and sword so if you try to get close they won't be fooled. Also if you try camp around a corner. Nobody falls for that anymore.

Thats why I think they are UP.

Bones of my enemies.

Sword is underpowered because 343 nerfed lunge too much.

No the Energy Sword is overpowered a lot at least in Flood. (Damn you Flood Thruster Pack)

Gravity Hammer needs a big boost it sucks now.

It's almost like you have to try a strategy other than run in a long straight line or hide in a corner now.

Two makes there more than speakers.

They screwed up with too many things, so even trying to balance everything would call yet for another overhaul.

Energy Sword is fine, the Grav Hammer sucks balls now though.

The Flood weapon has a farther lunge range compared to the regular sword.

All CQC weapons are useless because Boltshot.

I accidently took a gravity hammer instead of a binary rifle on exile and still managed 4 or 5 kills with it.

Boltshot isn't that prevalent to destroy CQC. Plus it requires a lot of accuracy. Sword at least gets the ability to run at the same speed while sprinting and getting shot. Gravity Hammer does need a boost though. Damn thing requires two hits to kill.

Hammer is seriously underpowered as, when you shoot people running at you, they slow down massively. This combined with a crappy sound effect and no lunge makes it only good for ambushing, which melee does anyway.

>Close range
>Accuracy

Also, it's proven that the boltshot will beat every CQC weapon.

That thing has a range bigger than any of the other CQCs and still damages well past that. And no it doesnt require a lot of accuracy, you fire at the centre of your screen, just like with all the other weapons.

IDK. I think they're fine as it is. They just aren't as common (I play BTB more than regular). I can do work on any map when I get my hands on them, minus Ragnarok and Vortex... especially with dat speed boost :)
