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.
The shotgun is also an equally powerful weapon closerange so I think they were talking about that. Also they said this "You can grab this energy sword, the most most powerful melee weapon in the game" meaning that its either got weaker swords or there is only one sword.
