[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AlexTheGoalie96 2)Sword Elites (they can run faster then you which is annoying)[/quote]You haven't met Reach sword Elites have you? CE sword Elites are easy to lose if you go behind cover during a pursuit and any weapon can deal with them. It's possible to kill them with only beat down! And it was possible to assassinate them. And in some versions of CE, if you keep running forward without looking back, it's possible to avoid every swing. Reach sword Elites are so much faster and there's virtually no way to exploit their swing. Often they have uber shields (much more stronger than CE Zealot shielding). And if you get boarded and kicked out, it's a one hit kill (at least with the 7 Generals from the Tribute Room easter egg) and there's no way to prevent it unless you flip (H2 was the only time where you could get out of the vehicle when you were being boarded). It's merely because of their lack of distinct abilities (leap) and noob combo that they're rarely perceived as a threat. Try fighting a sword Elite with only a grenade launcher, concussion rifle, or plasma launcher. You'll be screwed. The truth is that the needle rifle and hologram are the only reliable, life saving, game default methods besides noob combo in Reach. It's just sad. You can get creative on some levels: -[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vycqY0wK5o]treadmill exercise on WC[/url] -tricking sword Elite at the end of TotS into running off by jetpacking or getting him to board your Banshee which will cause the game to trigger the activation panel. You can also knock him off the ledge with the Banshee or bring up Jorge and get a stealth kill on him -tricking sword Elites into running off the edge on Installation 04 -exploiting scripting on fleeing Zealot on TotS to get him in an infinite animation loop. You can also make him lose his AI. You could also block him in advance with his 4 Grunts and continuously get a Killtacular by reloading checkpoint. I'm pretty proud of myself for [url=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Career/GameHistory#/?game=1062989239§ion=Unknown]getting a Killimanjaro[/url] without using a Target Locator or the Falcon's grenade launcher. On Legendary difficulty. Kill times are atrocious and Bloom is like typing with a rubber keyboard. [Edited on 07.06.2012 7:26 PM PDT]
