Now it’s just my opinion but i REALLY feel like the hammer is way too powerful against the sword, i never see anyone use it because the hammer will always outtake the sword.
if this was the case, what’s the point in adding the sword? i feel like 343 should try buff the sword or nerf the hammer so the 2 have different tatics. sure the sword is better against the ball holder but it should be used more than that.
I use sword don’t hate sword has longer lunge
The sword is to take out the Griffball holder. Not kill other players.
The Hammer kills the sword
The Sword kills the grif
Grif kills the Hammer
Rock, paper, scissors scenario.

Spartan charging with the sword at least trades with the hammer. Usually you can charge many hammer people before one finally gets you. And even when they finally get you they die too.
The sword increases your movement speed and has a longer lunge distance. It’s better for taking out their carrier, among other things.
For example, try this: Smart-link in with your sword. Move just within red reticle range of some chump with a hammer. Wait for him to swing and then, immediately after, lunge with the sword. Easy kill.
The sword and it’s lunge are for closing the gap between a running you and a running griff. Hammer is pure defense.
It sucks when you see someone on your team going after hammers with a sword.

A fun tactic to use.
There’s an Issue alright with Grifball, and it’s the betraying, you know like ground pounding near teammates, getting the ball and holding it and then a teammate betrays you. I just don’t like it, getting 3 betrayals is an instant boot, and even when you did it on Accident, you get booted. See what I mean?
