I can't imagine that a great sword was much of a counter for spears. What you gain in reach you lose out in mobility/speed, precision, etc. And unlike with a spear, you can't even use a shield >_>
That was the point: the humungous weight, length, and broad blade allowed them to shove aside spears, and lop off the heads. Those doing so had to be in the front of the formation, so they were paid twice as much (Doppelsoldner).
