I know that it most likely will not be in ODST but you never know I don't think that Bungie said for sure it wouldn't be in the game. A good reason that i have is there could be some dead elites laying around with there weapons scattered around them, maybe even there vehicles( for the person who posted the spectre thread). What do you guys think about my reason why it could be in the game?

Why Hello There ;D

doubt it. Besides, I think the energy sword/gravity hammer would take away the stealth feeling of the game.

  • 06.28.2009 2:21 PM PDT

Who knows, it might be in the game but i don't imagine you'd be able to lunge with it, which kind of makes it redundant.

  • 06.28.2009 2:23 PM PDT

The gravity hammer is confirmed to be in it though, so I have no idea.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

Like I said in another forum.

No Elites= No sword.

There is no sword.
NO SWORD
Get it, got it, good.

Now something new.

I doubt it. When they say no Elites in ODST AT ALL that means there is no Elites, even dead ones in ODST. Plus what good would the sword be to a regular human? The Grav Hammer is only for Firefight, and seeing as Brutes don't use swords, it won't appear there either.

Sorry if I seem intense.

Here is a reasonable explanation better than my previous.
It might look like we land where MC was around but were not. And your saying "What about the marines weren't they here?"
Even if they do lay bodies around they won't put the sword with one of them unless its an easter egg.

  • 06.28.2009 2:32 PM PDT

It'd ruin the feel of the game to give you a one-hit-kill weapon. ODST is all about attacking from behind and taking cover.

The only close range weapon we should use is the Shot Gun. I don't see why they would have ODSTs use energy swords or gravity hammers...well thats my opinion.

its ok and i am starting to consider it as ending up as an easter egg because i think that odst will have a lot of easter eggs also you do have a good point.

Mauler. And I count the SMG as close quarters. Maybe not the new one though.

I was talking about weapons that are always used close in range...you can still shoot someone with a SMG from some distance. And how could I have forgotten about the mauler...damn.

True, it's just the fact that the SMG has the range of about 2 feet.

Nah...or does it...I only remember using it at some range in Halo 2...

The Silenced SMG goes farther then 2 ft. That's why there is a scope and it's shown in videos.

I'm exaggerating of course, but you get the point.

Brutes and Elites hate each other, I doubt a Brute would ever use anything that Elites use for ceremonial purposes, and are only awarded to use when they are of a high rank.

*cough cough* The automag on grunts... or brutes without shields for that matter.

Brutes like to disrespect elites at every turn for instance them taking the honour gard armour in halo 2 and forcing them selves into it even thou it was far to small, taking the prize weapon of the elites would show great disrespect also bungie must of at one point conisdered brutes with swords as one was shown in the vidoc

From my take, this is suppose to be more of a stealth game than a "Run up and beat the brute" kind of game. Energy sword would just take away the feel of it and would just ruin it.
But not a stealth game where you are a complete ninja at night. You should by now know what I mean.

Wait the sword would be a good stealth weapon sneaking behind a bunch of brutes and stabbing them in the back, well thats what I think.
