"I remember playing Halo 3 with my brother, we both clashed the energy sword over 30 times against each other, every strike could lead to victory, depending on your skill.
When we played online, Multi Team, 2v2v2v2 Team Swords, we ripped our enemys apart, sometimes won with 50 Kills and the second one only got 9. Being able to defeat 3 enemies trough skill, pressing “B” to make a short strike, countering those unlucky sword yielders who got completely destroyed when the next strike with the “B” button slices their Spartan in two. Or triggering the enemy, going a little bit back and then going with an long-strike with “RT”…"
I miss those old sword fights which could last minutes, cause no one was able to defeat the other and switching the weapon would mean you were just an honorless coward.
With Reach that option was turned off cause with the 5, 6 or 7 strike both opponents will die. Really dissapointing.
Even in Halo 5 we were not able to have those awesome sword fights.
I hope that with Infinite, we will have again the option to slash with the energy sword against one another, so it may lasts minutes and that may even Multi Team returns…
