Cutting. :stare:
If its a pointly blade, its cutting in two directions at once.
That's... not quite what the term means. Especially in the context.
:whip:
Try harder.
Hmm... So the information given on the loading screen in question is inaccurate then? I defenitively recall reading about the weight of celtic longswords in several books and internet articles. Of course, they were also known for their superiour balance, which would have lessened the inconvenince of the additional weight. And wasn't the most common way to attack with a gladius to get in close and personal and make a thrusting attack upwards against the enemy's midsection? That's the pros and cons of those sword designs: A long, heavy blade grants additional momentum during a charge and when you have room to swing, but when the fighting becomes more crowded and desperate, the gladius or any short sword is more effective.
Oh, and :laugh4: at the cut/stab minidiscussion.
It is actually possible to cut something with a sword without swinging it around. Just use it like a kitchen knife with a cutting board. :clown:
