useful, but i think it might turn out to be -blam!-, cause it seems like an overly powerful melee weapon, but thats just me

I believe we've all been dying to use it, for those who say it's -blam!- well good for you.Plasma Sword and Plasma Rifle will be my weapons of choice.

I cant wait to use it, but how would it be useful in a gametype with rls and battle rifles? Theyd just shoot you before you got a chance to melee. And even with the lunge attack, it takes a while to line up.

It seems like a one handed weapon. I hope you can have a SMG in the other hand. Two swords would be pointless.

i dont think its dual wieldable, cause they wouldve shown that at E3 and people wouldve been doing that when playing Zanzibar, and we wouldve heard about it...yet again they didnt show us even remotely close to everything in multiplayer so ya never know

I'm pretty sure you can only dual weild one handed weapons. Even though it is one handed, it would be pretty useless if you had two.

Yeah but having a gun in the other hand would be useful. E3 was just a demo so a lot could change before November 9.

I would want to slice and dice my enemy, plus you could pull it out in the middle of a fire fight and with some jumping and use of your twichey fingers. [i]Running Riot[i] ([i] guy that says stuff when you kill in Halo-multi[i])

It would be kick ass.

I think it's going to be one of those weapons every wants and tries to get but end up dying trying to get it. I prefer guns over swords. =T

I can just now see myself cutting up grunts with the sword but think about it.... u ever try running into a black spec op elites with a shotgun and nothing els.... yeah if you can get close they're dead but if they see you from afar good luck getting close...... I think its gonna be one of thos weapons that you dont use on legendary but you put it on normal just to have fun......

i agree completely, kinda like, the pistol, its good against the flood on normal but the two weapons to have against the flood on legendary are the shotgun and rocket launcher

i would just rather use the other weapons that are new, i will probably NEVER use the sword in multiplayer, my weapons will be the battlerifle and the sniper rifle, or dual smgs and sniper rifle
