As the successor oh Halo 3, I was expecting everything from Halo 4, and 343i sure did deliver! Except, there was ONE very important (at least to me) thing that was left out. Sword dueling. Where's the legendary sword dueling from Halo 3? Why did they (Bungie) first remove it from Reach? I understand that maybe people don't want to get stuck in a sword clash in the heat of gunfire from all around, but that's what made the sword so exciting! I really miss the epic sword duels where you would clash with your opponent until one of you died. Now it's just like Reach but instead of five clashes, you only get two before you both die. With the emergence of armor abilities, I was really looking forward to sword dueling with jet packs Please, PLEASE bring back the real sword dueling just like in Halo 3. Also, it's no fun just having infinite clashes if you still fly back like in Reach, that just makes it really slow paced. I want it just like from Halo 3- infinite clashes, no flying apart after each clash (except maybe 1 or 2 ft), and if possible, please return to the original sword reticule- the one that's been around since Halo 2- the eclipse looking one. That was really cool and sort of iconic for the energy sword. It's not that I don't think the new reticule is bad, just that the eclipse was already good for the sword and I see no reason why it had to change. Thank you, and sorry for the huge reply
Ps. You guys did a great job with Halo 4, I was skeptical at first because it wasn't Bungie, but Halo 4 was a true successor to my favorite game of all time (Halo 3), except for the exclusion of sword dueling.
