I know I’m timing it right bur it’s like impossible
Almost 100% sure it is not in this game. Kinda lame there is not chance to block and counter especially with limited radar range.
interesting…i thought i was just having a problem timing it. Overgrowth is a nightmare if you are on the other end of the sword.
There is sword blocking, it’s not nearly as forgiving as reach. You have to time your melee and the sword melee to hit at the exact frame the sword hits you or it won’t work. Sword blocking with another sword is still intact.
Have not blocked a sword with a melee yet and have had the game since launch.
Bungie didn’t tell them everything

Overgrowth isn’t a bad map but the sword and shotgun make it a nightmare.
Blocking a sword in halo with your regular melee attack would be like a Jedi trying to block a lightsaber strike with his arm. It’s just silly.
Me and a friend tested it at launch, and I know there is CLASHING. Has a VERY slim margin for it being able to work though. Blocking, I have no idea.

You could do it in previous games.
Only thing I have done is quickly melee a swordsman before he shanks me. Dunno about the blocking though, never tried it.

noob
Yeah it needs to come back, I hate the increased movement speed with the sword too. On overgrowth all you have to do is sprint with the sword through the middle and you are guaranteed multiple kills.
I have not been able to block as well. In some of the tighter maps the sword is too powerful. There needs to be better way to counter it.
well, how effective is the sword in Halo 5? not really effective when you think about it. unless your in range, which seems to be even smaller then before, the sword is useless.
At least, that’s me reasoning why blocking is gone.
I have done it before in the beta. Its pretty funny. I think you have to be a certain distance. Cause when I lunged, he lunged and we blocked and knocked us back pretty far and I had to walk back up to him to lunge again. You can also block a melee with your melee if you do it right. My shields were down, he was going for a melee, I quickly melee and I noticed my health bar dropping down to half instead of me dying. I don’t have footage for either. So many games I’ve played hard to keep track of anything :l
If you like, you can set up a practice match with swords?
It is possible and I did it once. It isn’t like reach though where it was pretty easy to sword block.

But a Jedi doesn’t have 1000 pounds of armor and a shield covering him.

You’re opening up a whole nother can of worms that you may not want to get into buddy!
It was a stupid addition to begin with. How could you block a sword with your bare hands or a gun when before it has been shown that the sword has no problem cutting through weapons and armor
