In TU
Sword + Sprint with no Sword Block is absolutely ridiculous.
There is no way under lag you can five shot a guy before he can sprint up and lung at you with his super lunge from 7 feet.
Please tell me in 4 this will be fixed…
Meh. I don’t really mind it that much anymore. Unfortunately, you can still use AA’s with power weapons. Including the sword.
Shotgun, concussion rifle or sticky+armor lock does the trick. Or you could just trade kills by sticking him before you die and hope a teammate is around to collect the sword.
Shooting a sprinting target in Halo 4 will reduce their speed and promethean vision will show them coming though walls.
A. Don’t let them get the sword in the first place. Power weapon control wins games.
B. Don’t vote for a close quarters map if you don’t like the sword.

I know how to play this game. -__-
I just can’t help it when my teammates betray me for powerweapons just to die with it three seconds later and the enemy happens to pick it up before I can even get over there.
Even so
TU is still 100 Times better the out of, the box Reach
Go play some Grifball. Everyone gets an Energy Sword! Yay!
Needlers
Concussion Rifle
Sticky Nade
Sticky Launcher
Rocket Launcher
Sniper
Shotgun
Plasma Pistol newb combo
Armor lock if available
Team Shot
Plenty of ways to stop a sprinting sworder or at least trade kills with them.
yeah it’s annoying but usually the dude that sprints and swings with a sword gets a nice payback from me the rest of the match. I don’t let such things go unanswered without total destruction.

Isn’t that why Bungie created the Sword Block so SprintSword won’t be absolutely ridiculous?
People complained about Sword Block being absolutely ridiculous, so 343i created TU Gametypes.
You’re playing the wrong Playlist then my friend.

Bungie pushed armor abilities way too much. To make them even remotely close to being balanced, things like sword block to balance sprint and kill zones to balance jetpack were implemented (and poorly so). That just added to the already long list of stupid gimmicks in the game.

Know how you feel since sprint, sword is just stupid, hard to counter. Already hated sprint but adding that with sword is just a bit insane.

That’s not the game’s problem, that’s your problem.
Sword block was extremely hated by the community so 343 took it out of the TU. The standard playlists should still have it if sprint/sword is so much of a problem for you. Threads like this are probably why they decided not to TU the entire matchmaking.
Nomatter how you look at it though, Reach was bad. Topics like this shouldn’t even have came up. Shows how good of a job Bungie did.

Sword Block was an awful solution to a problem that they themselves created. Every weapon except the Sword has a cooldown that prevents you from attacking immediately after you stop Sprinting.
If Bungie hadn’t chosen to remove the Sprint-Sword cooldown, they wouldn’t have had to cripple the Sword by adding a ridiculous, random, and host-dependent mechanic like Sword Block.
The upshot of all of which is that the problem here isn’t that 343i’s TU removes Sword Block; it’s that that TU doesn’t add a Sprint-Sword cooldown, because the engine can’t be modified in that manner post-release.
I used to ponder about this problem alot, then i realised that i could just…run away?
may sound like a strange tactic but usualy when you run away, mr sword man will follow you. If your on sword base jump off one of the bridges and go up the grav lift, this then gives you the chance to gun him down.
i dont find sword a problem myself

No, it’s not…
