Block? Stab because you have a longer reach?

It technically transforms your muzzle-loading inacurrate musket that took a minute to reload into a deadly stabbing spear that can pierce through your enemies.

The Bayonet is generally a better group-fighting weapon, nobody can deny that, even if that individual him/herself is better with sword.
Bayonet can score quick 1 hit KO and backstabs, and the sword is faster with twice as many attack directions.

Wastipk said:I find people who play with swords just do it so they have an unfair advantage against the other players. I see so often on TDM servers I'll beat a guy with a bayonet, he gets angry and gets a sword, I beat him again, so he gets a lancer, I beat him again so he gets a dragoon, then when I kill him for the last time he ragequits usually after some inane insult.
Still I will always use bayonets because of the reach, it's so satisfying taking out large groups of people who don't block because they don't think you're close enough.
Oh God and don't get me started about pistols.

If you take ping into account the left attack of a sword is so fast its sometimes impossible to block because you don't see the animation till it hits you. And whats more that swing hits the head very often for a 1 hit kill.
....what did i just readWastipk said:Actually the left swing of a sword is faster than both bayo attacks so if you have a sword and can block up and down you should be undefeatable, or the fight will last a long time. Personally I think swords are there to make up for the steep learning curve, if you're new to the game you can get away with just spamming a sword most of the time. However, if you're a pro and you use a sword you should be ashamed...imo.

As usual, a well thought out reply. Oh no wait, you are better than me so you don't actually need to engage in any kind of dialogue or contribute to the thread... well done.
What I said was true, are you one of these sword spammers then I take it?

I'd like to make a well thought out reply, but as you're not doing it, that would be rather unfair. Sword to make up for the learning curve, and "if you're a pro and you use a sword you should be ashamed..."

Really? You have never been beaten by a sword guy due to lag? Then I invite you to go on a siege server when its got 200 players and then tell me it doesn't happen. I have got fraps now so I'll try to capture it next time it happens.
