from what it looked like at 04 E3 it doesnt
I wouldnt think it does, would kinda be cheesy if it did, cause its only a close range weapon so it requires you to get right there and if they see you coming they can back peddle and shoot at you, unless they got the shotty then they just walk up to you and full your torso fulla buck shot

The Energy Sword does need an energy bar because it will be constantly used as a backup weapon. It will be the primary weapon for close range and when switched to and locked in will be deadly. It needs an energy bar and should deplete or 'melt away' after a certain amount of time, after say 7 kills or so. I also believe it shouldn't spawn more than once so it can't be abused, but then again it's nothing more than a shotgun with less room for error and no shots. It can't be used but for one way so it may not be all that worth picking up and if anything could be under balanced.

you dont need to aim at the head to kill and duel weilding will help cut down those people who decide to charge in with the plasma sword, and plasma weapons still slow you down

I think it will suck if it doe's not have energy bar because everyone will use it and if u want a normal far fight it will ruin it BIG time

Bud you said you usually shot them in the head, it won't be that easy in Halo 2 because the pistol more than likely won't be there. You'll be using the battle rifle and will have to zoom in in order to get those head shots and even then it may take more than 3. (speaking in Multipalyer terms*

I doubt they will allow more then 2 or 3 to spawn total, so that not every one can get one and do a sword battle

I hope it doesn't have an energy bar, melee weapons with limited use blow. If your good with a gun or have a shoty I don't believe the energy sword will be that much of problem.

It seems to me that anyone with the Plasma Sword will be instantly recognized as a threat and put on the top of the "To-Kill List." Granted, the Plasma Sword is a finely tuned killing machine, but at the same time it will undoubtedly attract a ton of attention; it's essentially a shimmering wand of death, screaming at the top of its lungs, "If you don't kill me, you’re dead.”

Alright, enough with the dreadful personification of a big stick. Long story short, I say no energy bar.

True, and once the sword is introduced (via an individual locating and utilizing it) to any given game, it would be permanent, simply bouncing from player to player. Imagine a reasonably legitimate game of Halo with a rocket launcher with an indefinite supply of rockets, constantly in play. I can hardly stand the occasional four rockets. Good point Smeg.
