I just played it again. I cant stand it. It used to be that a string of bullets and a melee killed, or 2 melees killed. Now, its shoot-melee-melee (youre dead by now) or melee melee melee shoot (by then, someone else already shot you). Swordbase is a terrible map by all means. Not to mention 70% of my kills get stolen by 1 bullet from someone behind me. I am not a Halo n00b, I used to play this religiously.
I am going back to MWF2.
