Basically this. What I've seen from the changes they made now is that longer weapons got slower and shorter weapons got more speed or damage.
I don't see why people are complaining about the game speed when they are using the longest weapons. You can't have the longest reach, highest damage AND the fastest speed, now can you?
EDIT:He's never used anything but 2handed weapons, so yeah. You have to explain it to him
