[color=gold]I think that would be sweet if you had an option to throw your sword directly infront of you. Just imagine you infiltrate a base with your buddies and you are killing spawners so your man can get away from base with flag, jus then you run out of battle rifle ammo, your enemy is distance away and you have the plasma sword- You then heave it in his direction and it cuts through him like butter!

[color=lime] can you just imagine playing a plasma sword only ffa? I would love that. You could even take it back to levels like damnation and prisoner, hey even wizard would be a sweet plasma sword only level. Actually plasma sword and nade only. That way you could cut off paths people take by throwing them infront of them making them choose between yoru sword or a nade in the face.[/color]

[color=gold]How would it make it unbalanced??? Your the one that is choosing to throw it. Besides, it would be just as lethal as a rocket hitting you so how could it be unbalanced? I think you just said that because it sounded good. And Uhh, about catching and throwing it back, sorry but no...you don't try to catch a plasma sword, especially when the tip of it is being hurld toward you. Do you think I'm refering to star wars just because I want him to throw the sword? c'mon! [/color]

i never said that you could catch it, the reason it would be unbalanced is because it kills u in one hit, and if y go into a crowd of ppl and throw it u could get a killtacular, and they throw the sabers in star wars... it would be neat to throw it but unfair

[color=gold]since when were you playing Halo and you saw a crowd of people? ok, now tell me when was the last time you saw this crowd of people, and they were just standing there, really close to each other. How often would that situation happen? How could you assume this ability would make the game unbalanced simply because one would have an upper hand in such an unpredictable situation???[/color]

Um... there are plenty of times you see groups of people in Halo, it's apparent you don't do many 16 people matches ;).

ohh come on now people! Read his post! Do I have to spell it out for you people??? can you not put 2 things together???

[color=orange]He said the throwing of sword woudl be unbalanced because you could throw it at a group of people and get a kiltacular...and so I ASK:

When was the last time you saw a group of people close together enough to get a kiltacular IF YOU THREW A SWORD AT THEM. I've only seen a few instanced where a well placed rocket took out 4 people, now imagine the situation it would have to be for a sword to do that.

Please tell me you understand now???? please???

People here are so concerned with telling others what they know, they fail to realize they really, still don't know what the he11 they are talking about. geez! [/color]

I am so sick of this forum. Its filled with stupid moronic people that cannot hold a conversation for -blam!-. I thought this would be the prime place for Halo talk but alas IT IS NOT. MOST OF YOU ARE STUPID!

Do I have to go to Halo-pro or 343gs or even gametalk to get a good conversation out of someone without it going horribly wrong???

wtf?

USE YOUR -blam!- BRAIN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD !!!

i think that that would take the whole puropse out of the plasma sword and it would make it unstoppable,

I'm sure it can be avoided. Its a single projectile going in one direction. -blam!- it. Im done with this

I think it is an interesting idea, it just doesn't seem very Halo-like to me. Just my personal opinion but I don't care for the idea.

i think its a freakin sweet idea. and they should do that i was thinking the same thing. but it shouldnt go straight through it should get stuck in them and then u should be able to pull it out so then you wouldnt be able to get a kill tacular

I think it would be cool, to a point. It would be fine if it would hit like one person, and then stop.

Remember, the "real" plasma sort has a failsafe on it, so if it is dropped, it would slice your leg off, making the hilt the only thing throwable.

Yeah, it would be a possibility, but look at the Plasma Sword... it's not designed for throwing- just look at how the blade is designed... throwing it would result in it clipping you on the way out. Plus, the momentum or velocity wouldn't be sufficient to give it a good chance at hitting someone more than a few meters away.

Besides, there's already the option of the lunge with the Plasma Sword, and that works fine...

There's a problem with that - It would make the lunge attack pretty much pointless, it's a melee weapon! not a projectile, if it could kill people in like two hit's up close and one hit by throwing it, it would be unbalanced. The purpose of having the plasma sword is to have a good hand-to-hand combat weapon.

Simple solution to the throwing of the plasma sword. Look at how the covies made the sword... I don't think it would be possible, unless, of course, you don't mind missing a hand or even an arm... And, if they found a way not to have that happen, the sword would be thrown really wierd. Don't like the idea, but atleast it's a different idea.
