Halo2...

WHO HAS THE SWORD OMGZ GAME OVER

If you can't dodge a sword lunge or walk back instead of running at the guy with sword then you suck. Also if you're going to make the excuse how do I know he has sword!? It's the guy who's opting to run at you instead of keeping his distance and BRing you. How to dodge a sword lunge? Move to your right, omg so hard. How to beat someone with sword even more easily? BXR them in the face(wouldn't try this on LAN only XBL), or right side-step + stick with plasma (noobish and not reliable), or simply keep backing up as they run at you and hit them with your BR(best way to beat someone with sword), only takes about 1.5 seconds to get off 2 shots and a double shot to take out a charging sword guy, who is making little to no progress on you because you're backing up.(RRXRR)

Also, lol at the video somebody posted. One: that video was done on a pre update XBOX without the updates that XBOX Live has implemented. How can I tell? In the scene about melees it took way too many bucks to kill the guy. It shouldn't take more than 2 if you're moving while doing the buck, which is why BXB is so good when you can't BXR, or 3 if you aren't moving.

Halo2 does require less skill, but that video only holds credibility in one department and that's in it's clip on sweep sniping. That is rampant in Halo2 among the higher tiered players, you can even shoot through walls in some instances with it. The scene with BR/PP is just stupid, no Halo2 pros use PP because there ARE NO DUALS on freakin MLG game types. Halo2 in the competitive scene is totally fair and has little to no errors really. I will agree however that Halo1 does require more skill because of the absence of auto-aim and the fact that there is a sidearm which can shoot across the map. (BLB on H1 ftw).

did i say that i cant dodge a sword? no. Did i say i wouldnt keep it hidden? no. (which btw in halo3 you will be able to see the players sub weapon on their back)

Halo2 went from a good MP game to a race for the sword.

The sword can range from being amazing to not so good depending on who you're playing with. If your teammates are good, the sword won't have much of an effect on the game. It's good in certain areas like the sniper tower on Lockout if you wanna grab a couple quick kills and secure the base. If you're playing with really bad people, the sword is completely unbalanced. It all depends.
