i want them to keep the lobby system the same, host doesnt bother me, there isnt much lag for me, i dont like people quitting though, there shouldnt be an option to quit

It can't really be overused. It will be like in Halo 3 where if two people hit each other at the same time with the Energy Sword, it just clashes. I think it would be fun to see who can tap B faster. And the human shield can't be overused either, since it can only be done on downed enemies.

Exactly. Soon people will start bitching about it. They should only really put it in campaign.

I don't see that as fun.

I, for one, am seriously pissed off that the chainsaw battles are button mashers. If these are indeed integrated into multiplayer, it will possibly ruin it completely.

Anyone with a rapidfire controller will automatically have an advantage and will win the battle, and chances are they will do it all the time.

What would be better is a sequence of 5-10 buttons that show up on the bottom of the screen that must be pressed to finish, and whoever presses them quickest would be the winner. Rapidfire advantage gone.

I'd be down for a petition to EPIC about this issue if anyone is interested.

Well, dude it is the same thing in Halo 3 and the energy sword. Any one that can press the right trigger faster, or has a better connection will win it.

I, for one, definitely want to see the human shield in multiplayer. I am not sure about the chainsaw dueling yet.

No thanks to the dueling in MP, but as for the shield, hell yea.

I'm just curious, while your doing this chainsaw battle, will you still be open to everyone else, I just fill like your a sitting duck, or maybe these battles are over in a flash.

I think this will slow down multiplayer if it is in it. (5 2 letter words..record?)

It would be like Smackdown vs. Raw '07 I think. It had the same thing where if you grapple at the same time you went in to this button mashing game. Then they took it out the next year casue it sucked badly.

ROFL, it's gonna be like the "sword clash" in halo3. LOL So frustrating at times, but if your ping is a bit better, you are an owning machine! LOL

the human shield isnt that bad, but i think people would get angry if they were downed and got used as a shield more then once in a game, they'd get frustrated and leave, both ideas are really cool and unique but i think they should only be in campaign

It wont be as annoying as Halos sword clash because someone is guaranteed to win once you engage, there wont be any situation where you keep popping in and out of dueling five times until somebody else shoots you in the back.

As for dueling over all, I think Ill enjoy it. Why do you guys think things will change significantly? Its not like theres going to be a huge spike in chainsawing, its still going to be tough to get up to a guy and hack him to bits. The only difference now is that you will have a form of defense (other than your shotgun) against someone trying to hack you up.

Its definately a lot better than having two guys go at eachother holding the B button and then one person being chosen at random to die.

I really dont see the problem, and dont think itll change any core gameplay apart from removing the annoyance of somebody killing you with their chainsaw even though you had yours revving too.

Plus, killing somebody in a duel will feel just as, if not more, rewarding as a chainsaw kill in GoW. You now know that you beat them and it wasnt just because you caught them with their back turned and are now running them through a gory animation.

Yes, you're now exposed and can die while chainsawing. But a duel will be just as long as a single person hacking another guy up.
