Poll: Swords or Guns?

[Barrett0]

definitely sword. guns make no difference if u correctly ambush where distance is not a factor

Only thing better would be a gun blade. That would win hands down

For thousands of year, a warrior only drew the blood of his enemy by the strength of his arm. This was true for bows and siege engines as well as swords and other blades.

Now all you have to do is point and squeeze your finger a bit.

Now, in my opinion these things should both stay apart, unless in some stupid JRPG or wacked out fantasy game. It just seems wierd to have a sword beating a gun, not matter what the situation.

But yeah, I picked the sword. Big fantasy fan, and they just look and feel so much cooler than a hunk of grips, boxes and tubes.

What good is having a sword when there's a sniper 800 meters away using a pinpoint accurate rifle?Death before even hearing it coming.
For the less subtle approach,use a bigger gun in form of artillery.

Also,for the people going on and on about the skill and honor it takes to use a sword,consider the fact using a rifle isn't the easiest thing to operate in the world.The sword wielding warrior didn't need to know how to disassemble his weapon in battlefield condition to clean it because it jammed.Just because its older doesn't mean its more honorable.

Swords, they are more honorable , awesome and stronger.
I mean , have you played L4D2? or Halo 3?
Plus it doesnt run out of ammo.
And you can see your enemy die.

And I do believe one Ashley Williams put it best as well:

Gun beats sword.

Not necessarily, it all depends on how you write your fiction.

You can get the best of both worlds by just have a rifle and bayonet. Although that's more of a spear.

 

[Buizel91]

Guns, why? Because what the fuck is your sword going to do at 300 yards?

could throw it? =3

I was looking at my shelf of games, and couldn't help to think that like attracts like. I have way more fantasy games than modern games, for example. This got me thinking. If all games were equal, ie: COD had swords, or Oblivion had guns for example, would it make a difference to the weapons you'd use? Are there any scenarios that alternative weapons would make more enjoyable gameplay?

Note: I'm aware that Fallout is basically Oblivion with guns, but it's hard to think of a recent fantasy game off the top of my head that didn't include guns.

WHY CAN I NOT CHOOSE "GUNBLADE" ON THIS POLL!?

GTFO NINJAS!11

 

[Redweevil]

Nothing beats COD throwing knife kill, so thats now my weapon of choice

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

Depends on the game genre, usually guns are better for current gen gaming, but swords are nicer for a lot of games not played from the first person perspective.

But I chose swords cos they're cooler

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Blade & Pistols
Then burn the wich in the name of Sigmar(or just because its fun, or cold outside).

 

[Valkyrie101]

I'm a gun person myself, because realistically guns are more effective than swords almost 100% of the time.

A sword has no ammo limit.

But it can break or become blunt.

 

[Super Toast]

They ain't got nuthin' on CHAINSAW NUNCHUCKS!

 

[Brandon237]

Swords, that feel of the metal through flesh as the screen shakes and - Nothing. Lets just go with: I like swords

 

[Ithera]

Swords are an anachronism and have no place in anything resembling modern combat.Swords should be seen as nothing else but a last resort weapon (if you find yourself fortunate enough to be fighting in a museum).

It has a certain romantic/honor value though, and features excessively in titles like "Final Fantasy". Very often overused by characters who should know better.

 

[Zeema]

As if Swords are way more silent and sephiroth had one so yeah

 

[HTID Raver]

gun FTW
