Yah, thats right, plasma swords, like the ones Elites use. I don't know if this is going to happen ( but I've heard that there was going to be, but not by Bungie so I'm not sure ) maybe like a game mode. Only Plasma Swords! There'd be special combos you can do instead of just the plane old down slashes. I think it'd b a cool idea, what do you guys think?

this is to ribok. good point, maybe there could b away that you could use the directional pad for it (up is upper slash, down is a down slash) you get it from there. Only problem there is that you can't do that corner peak. (maybe if you have your sword out, you can use the dpad for your sword attacks, but when not using the sword, u can go back to peaking around corners) I dont know, these are all just random ideas boiling in my head.

think about it... a plasma sword against a bunch of elites, jackels, brutes, grunts on legendary, it be a waste of time i think, maybe on normal but bungie wouldnt want a weapon just for a lower difficulty would they? Maybe on multiplayer, but i doubt that too

A plasma sword would be cool, but there is probably no way considering it kill you in one shot.

I think the directional pad would be out of the question if they did have it, based on the fact that in Halo 2 you will be able to use combo melle attacks, the plasma sword, if any, would be used by hitting be and how ever they have the combos work for the game, that would be how you would do different slashes.

I think the plasma sword would be great. In battle mode it would have to be less powerful so that it would take at least 4 swings to kill (maybe 2 when the shield is depleted).

Hey I was reading a few day's ago that the earlier versions of halo had the MC with a plasma sword but they had to cut it out to save time. There is a picture in the evolution of halo story.
Why did they have to cut it out just like my heart.

and you cold probably have it as a side weapon...or since you can carry two weapons have a SMG in one hand to make suppressive fire and then run up close and slice em with the plasma sword

um thats how you woul NORMALY kill some one by meleing em in halo 1 !so itd be pointless as a weapon if they do what you said thw whole reason for it being one hit kill so they can mack it a worth while weapon plust not being able to shot and geting close to enamy is a little more trublesome when you cant shoot. so the instent kill should stay and difrent types of mele swings would mack it more enjoyable too
