are you going to be able to deflect a sword strike with a timed melee?
Nope.
Nope, so now the combination of sprint, a farther lunge than Reach and no counter will make the Sword the ultimate -Yoink!- weapon.
> Nope.
As it should be.

You’re aware the sword has almost no range now because of default sprint, right?

In the gameplay I saw it had a lunge range slightly inferior to that of Halo 3. As in much further than Reach.

If what you say is true, I’ll pick up the Sword everytime I have a chance to.

source please? Because I’ve played the game at RTX and have watched many recent gameplays to see it has little range.
The only time it had range was the flood claw, but that is strictly to Flood mode where it’s range is like that. And that’s to help keep it on par with every survivor having shotguns.
I don’t think you can. Which I like, because I hated the sword block in Reach. Although I understand why it’s there.

The lunge is shorter. WAY shorter. And blocking was a stupid decision in the first place anyways. It’s a POWER weapon for a reason. And there’s plenty of weapons that are better than it even without the block, so I don’t see how it’s the “ultimate -Yoink!- weapon”. I mean, the Binary Rifle is a guaranteed kill at ANY FREAKIN RANGE, and you don’t hear anyone complaining about it not having a counter.
Like every other power weapon, if you have a problem with it you should either try to get better and/or grab it first. But expecting a weapon that’s SUPPOSED to help you get the upper hand over opponents to have a counter that renders it near useless is plain ridiculous.
Just my two cents. And that was directed at all block supporters, not you.

Quit making stuff up. It’s lunge has been near-removed.
It’s finally a power weapon again.
Oh dear god i hope not. You shouldn’t be able to counter a power weapon that easily.
