Re: Agreed

In Response To: Agreed (The BS Police)


: I honestly don't understand why Bungie went that route, in Halo 3 the Shotgun
: was the better weapon than the Energy Sword, now it's just completely
: lopsided.

I've already given a good reason - probably THE reason - swords are a lot more common in Reach than they were in Halo 3. One might argue that that gives Spartans the upper hand with the arguably superior shotgun, but since Spartans have the health/speed disadavantage, it makes sense to give them a (possibly) superior spawn weapon.
