My idea would be if you press like LB the sword covers your face sort of like a block against other swords and shots to your face of course your body wouldn’t be protected and explosions would still destroy you.
Edit: Or some middle ground or ideas similar to this. Please comment and be more constructive than just No.
Yay, more bad ideas.
No.
Sounds like something only useful in a Sword only gametype.
While that’s not a problem, such a thing would have to have more than just that use. Sure you can block other swords but that’s all it does. You give up the the right to use an AA if on the left bumper (assuming that’s at least how AA is used on one control configuration in Halo 4). Maybe a movement penalty too as you are blocking, you won’t be able to move as fast (in fact you slow to a crawl).
Rather something else than sword blocking with swords but the less competitive gamer could have fun with it (then again, anything is fun to that crowd as long as it’ not MLG).
It wouldn’t see any use in competitive scene me thinks. Bad memories of sword blocking in Reach.

At least it isn’t B1tching because AAs are coming back or a no 1-50 thread.

I said blocking would not have an effect on explosions.

I’d rather have one of those threads, because then I can prove people wrong. Here, all I had to say was “no” and I won the argument. Poor idea, should never be implemented. Put this up there with “Jetpacks explode when a player dies”.
No absolutely not, i would however enjoy the Energy Gauntlet being available

You’re arguing in favor of this idea, and I’m arguing against it. Simple.

I wasn’t arguing for it I was looking for Ideas like this

You could try being more constructive.

And as an addon to forge, good against deflecting certain weapons like the AR. Terrible against the Plasma Pistol
I’d actually prefer a Jackal shield. It’s something I’ve wanted since Halo 2.
no ty. Swords already really overpowered.
not really you have to lurk for it to be effective.
Sprint + Sword = OP
Sprint + Sword + Shield = No.
Isn’t the sword overpowered enough?
No. It’s not a lightsaber lol. And the bullets and everything would probably get past the sword. I think that the sword should only be used to block swords, but we already have that if you melee at the same time as your opponent.
The Jackal Shield should act as the shield. Jackal shield in left hand. Energy Sword in right hand. Sprint disabled. Grenade throw disabled.
Good idea considering that it has been used to block bullets in halo legends. However I don’t think it would be a good idea to put it in the multiplayer aspect because the sword already can lunge and with a one hit kill weapon that can lunge and block bullets would equal a lot of rage. Good idea tho OP
