Energy swords and shotguns are the most broken weapons in the game.

[Tru]

Not broken as in they are overpowered, i mean broken as in they don't work half the time. Infection is the best example for this.

[The Kook who Cooks]

Yes, there's just something "off" about them in Reach compared to Halo 3

I keep getting bulltrue medals for killing sword users but still die to them anyway. I was under the impression you get that medal for killing someone with a sword who was about you kill you.

Correct. And in that statement it says nothing about you needing to survive. Only that the sword user must die.

That's just Reach in general. Even in LAN matches back on the 360, you could melee kill each other.

Oh my lord don’t get me started on how annoying it is for a shotgun point blank in someone’s face to only do a full shields worth of damage or so when it should be a one shot.

Shotty is one of my fav weps to use, but it is such a gamble, lol

Nah. Happens to me too, and I'm in the US on a nearby regional US server.

It is absolutely a one shot kill... if all the pellets hit. I don't know how many pellets can miss but if you're only taking shields then you partially miss.

IT is not an ONE SHOOT KILL. You cant 1 shoot with the shootgun.
The people who do that MELLE right after the shoot.
1 shoot from the shoot gun kills the shild and then you melee to finshem off.

Shotgun is definitely a gamble.
Honestly the Magnum is way more reliable in infection.

And i kinda wish they'd have kept Evade for the shotgun class in Firefight.
Im glad they added the shotgun to Limited lives aswell, instead of just generator defense.
But I basically need to die and pick a different loadout before its viable.
Because armour lock is just not nearly as useful as sprint or jetpack when wielding it.

Btw what do you mean in regards to the sword?
Its a bit silly how easy it is to parry it, but i havnt really experienced it "not working"

The range of which you can lunge is Inconsistent half the time, you can be right in the persons face and not be able to Lunge at them, while other times you can lunge at them from 20 feet away. Also, even when you do Lunge, you probably won't even hit them as you veer to side of them instead. If you are in the air for even a second you can kiss your life goodbye because you will not hit the person.

This is incorrect. It is a one shot from full shields weapon.

[Danke]

The shotgun IS a 1 shot on default and TU. Always has been. Even without bleedthrough. I do remember it had a longer range before, but it could be because of the bigger FOV that messed me up.

The shotgun, along with most weapons, has no bonus damage to headshots. You are more likely to miss that way.

As for dying when getting a Bulltrue, I believe it's because of some weird lag compensation system that Bungie implemented. That's why you can kill each other at the same time with DMR's even though they are hitscan; so one of HAD to have shot first.
