I think sword should spawn where the Plasma caster spawns instead. And I think they need to get a power weapon that can counter sword, instead of the plasma caster. Maybe a scattershot, just a thought.
I don’t know about the Scattershot, but I agree. Something needs to change
What would counter the weapon that counters the sword? Camo is on the other side is the map so it can be the counter you seek if used properly.
Such as how it had always been before in midship and heretic? Sword up top. Shotty down low. No camo. I’d be all for that.
That being said, it really doesn’t seem to be much of an issue for me at least. The map has been made so much bigger it feels that the sword rarely gets in range.
Plus, the caster is neat and I like it despite it maybe not being much of a power weapon. Good for map control.

Yeah I couldnt think of a weapon that could counter sword other then another CC weapon.
Am I the only one that never sees an enemy go for the camo or sword? It seems like I get them all to myself and get tons of sword kills, I’m not complaining though…

Oh, that makes sense, I haven’t ranked yet after the reset so I play noobs.

wish I could trade ranks XD its not fun when you feel your butt puckering up every match because they’re neck and neck
I hate how overused the Shotty is on all the maps. Overgrowth, Eden, Empire, and Pegasus. It really breaks the maps and becomes a “camp-in-the-corner” game of who can get to the shotty first. I’d also like the Plasma Caster replaced by something better. The Risk-Reward for it on Truth is really low, as why nearly nobody goes up top to get it. It’s used a bit more on Empire, but it’s rarely effective and the user just ends up dying. Halo 5 does have a limited default sandbox, but It doesn’t mean that most maps should feature the Shotty and Caster.
The plasma caster is such a bad weapon. Pretty much every map it’s on nobody picks it up. It should be replaced with prophet’s bane like in the beta.

The original version had the Sword spawn top mid (where the plasma caster is) and had a Shotgun spawn bottom mid (where the scatter grenades are)

i remember Halo 3 had similar placement with the sword.

Its a great map and still plays just as well as it always has, but the Plasma Caster on that map is a joke. the vast majority of people on Halo just spam grenades and adding a Caster to the mix on a map that small, it may as well be called “team 'nades”. The sword is fine, but I’d prefer if even it wasn’t on that map. With sprint, the sword becomes a little too powerful…but they could find a weapon to balance that out.
I ignore the plasma caster because I don’t know how to use it properly. I would like to see a random weapon spawn up top and have the announcer declare “10 seconds until [random weapon]”. I know people care a lot about balance so it would not be a popular move, but I think it would be fun to have 8 players scamper for a legendary spawn even now and then.
i like the plasma caster but the sword always beats it

The sword would counter the weapon that counters the sword lol. Isn’t that obvious?
Whatever they do (I doubt if anything) I would like to see them incentivize the center of the map better. I would put the plasma caster up on carbine or something and put the sword down low mid and invis up top mid or vice versa.

The sword is useless in Halo 5. It never got its due upgrade like all the other weapons and abilities (other than a slight boost in movement, which isn’t very noticeable).
I think it’s upgrade should be the ability to throw it at people!
The beta version was almost perfect. The only thing they needed to change from the original map was to add a shotgun to counter the Prophet’s Bane, which was not at the bottom in the beta. If that’s the only thing they changed, the map would have been perfect. But no…
