You know the swords on the difficulty logos? They were originally in the game, before it was on XBOX anyway.

Last I remember plasma was energy and that the plasma sword was actually made of plasma held together by some magnetic force generated by the little handle thingy.

Yes I think ive read about plasma here. ionised gas partcles manipulated by magnetic fields into shapes. This apparently makes them hot. Also plasma is hot and energy is just another word for heat lol. I'm no expert but I was just saying that its called the energy sword for a reason...

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

there was a human sword that was going to be on the original halo if you go on gametrailers.com and go into the vault and click h go to halo and there is a video called evolution and it shows old weapons and vehicles and enemies and its really cool

and as we've said, it would be very stupid.....some weapons or weapon types are unique to certain races.....

Covenant:

plasma sword
needler

Human:

rocket launcher (kinda)

these weapons do NOT have an equivilant in the opposite race.....i know that Halo 1 and 2 are supposed to be balanced but it is stupid to assume that every weapon type should exist in both races......its just stupid

yes thank you Hikaru.people seem to think that plasma sword an energy sword are 2 different things.

  • 06.28.2004 8:00 PM PDT

hey nightshade,ill help you get your point across

Covenant=plasma based weapon technology(plasma rifle,pistol,sword,plasma torpedoes on warships)


UNSC=projectile based weapon technology(bullet,rocket,MAC round for warships)

Yes the whole point is that the ballistic weapons are familar and simlpe and the alien weapons are strange and have odd features.

IE their grenades stick to you. Their needles home in and explode in clumps, their weapons are battery powered and overheat etc.

Whereas the human weapons are the classic assault rifle, pistol, rocket launcher etc. These are simple and easy to use. So if the covenant used weapons that are equal to the humans weapons they wont be strange or unfamiliar anymore...

Untrue what about the needler and carbine. The covenant dont just stick to plasma they use other strange means of ammunition.

i like that about Halo.the humans arent using laser guns and death rays and stupid crap like that.they use projectile based weaponry,like today,and we probably will still be using that when 2552 rolls around

  • 06.28.2004 8:06 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

hey ash i know about those two. i didnt take those into consideration because i was talking about their primary technology,which is mainly plasma. their projectile based weaponry isnt a major part of their arsenal.

In the the E3 04 mp demo, he said the enery sword was "one of the most powerfull close range weapons" possibly sugesting more melee type weapons, maybe just stuff you can pick up, or somthing, but maybe a sword.

And by the way brutes dont have swords, there is a "blade" attached to thier gun however.

Why have a human sword,when theres are ready a sword?
I think the humans should have a knife or a pocket knife.(Haha,no not really)
The knife you can throw,or something.
But not another sword.

Oh -blam!- i got a good idea!

Maybe you can have a human knife, and you walk behide someone; and you grab the guy/gal you walking behide and put the knife by his/her's the thoat. That makes a shield,and you can cut his/her's thoat when you're done. But not only that you can grab him/her with a one handed weapon and aim the weapon over his/her's shoulder,or point it at the head of the person you are holding.

This will up the -blam!- talking at games,it would be cool/fun, and it would look bad a$$

Darn, DRWIIL got to my idea first. In the books the Spartans to use combat knives and I was hoping to see them in Halo 2. Of course they wouldn't be too powerful and I'm not really into the idea of throwing knives when I have a gun handy. But just to experience all the back-talk after killing someone in MP with a wussy knife would be great. Perhaps you could pick up the knife and just use Melee, doing more damage than normal melee. Mmm, yeah...

  • 06.28.2004 8:38 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

thats why you have a GUN!!! if you really want to melee someone,you have the plasma sword and melee combos for guns,and the Brutes weapon with its huge blade on the bottom. a combat knife would just take up space.no one would use it because theyre too busy with the new guns and plasma sword,drooling over the new graphics engine,or entranced by the story

Man with gun, is there any difference besides that? Don't get yourself so worked up, either.


Also, what is a BANGIE????

man with gun you dumbass. theyre the same thing stupid. the old PLASMA sword had a failsafe,but Bungie took it off. the PLASMA sword and energy sword are the same thing,since PLASMA is basically pure energy. GOD PEOPLE!!!!!!! CMON!!!!!!!
