Wouldn't it be pretty redundant that the Uruks bring pikes to siege a fortress(Helms Deep)? I mean you wouldn't need them and would be a huge bother. The only reason they used the pikes when they were behind the deeping wall because they were lucky. But they couldn't have known that anyone would've charged at them. So I ask you, is Saruman a complete idiot?

*Thinks* That is a very good point! I've never thought of that before, but now I shall go and ponder it...

Hmm. Good point.
But if they were planning on breaching the wall anyway, pikes are good weapons for their size and strength, and they have a longer reach than a sword...

Yeah, that is strange.  I wonder if it was because Saruman anticipated that they would breech the wall. (I mean, if he didn't think that would happen, why send them at all?) |

Ofcourse he was thinking of breaching the wall, remember the bomb? And as soon as they made the wall blow up, they needed the pikes. No?  |

Exactly... Saruman wanted to breach the wall because he knew that was the easiest and quickest way to bring rohan down, and remember when saruman keeps him away when he was holding the torch because it would have blew up in there face! lol

The pike scene was alright, though it was awesome when the Uruks started chanting and beating them on the ground. A very good way to start a suspenseful battle. And it would have been hilarious if Grima lit the bomb with his candle and Isengard would have been blown to smithereeens  |
