However, it's close quarters ability is open to doubt, as the pike effectiveness is only at long range and is practically useless once the enemy gets past the spear head. To make the pike an effective weapon, it should be used in cojunction with the sword. Seriously kids, don't use the pike to kill players near you, use it to kill horses instead.
