I think that it will have a certian amount of time of use (like 20 secs), then youll have to put it away for awhile so it can charge up, simple as that... then if people wanna be cheap arses and only use that to get instant kills, it will actually take some skill to use... THEN when you do put it away to charge up, it will take like 2 mins.

we did see, in e3 2004, that he kills the Elite "max" or "Wort" and steals his energy sword, but maybe it cant be dropped more than twice or something!

I would hate to have a level like Longest, wiht an unlimited supply of someone's sword. It would get annoying quickly, and before this point was mentioned, i was all for the sword, but (well i still am) ibeleive they will do something to prevent this form happening. As eventually everyone will have a sword (it never dissapears) and then someone else gets a sword, and finally 16 swords are in play.. would not be so cool!

Maybe theres only the one sword that you get from the secret location, then if you want it after that you have to track down the person who has it, so theres only one on the battleground, that prevents everyone having one. But if it became out of play like falling down a big pit, or if noone picked it up for a set time it returns the the original position, but it never appears when theres another sword in the fight.

But that version of the game was modified to demonstrate the game, you think the rocket launcher appears on the beach?

That was where the guy was supposed to pick up the plasma sword, but he nicked it from Wort instead.

To get to the energy sword, you must shoot out the Lynch(sp?) pin and drop down onto the centre of the wheel. Its not just any where, its in a special location. (Unless the original wielder drops it when he dies)

? You mean that some guy will go get it, die and then go get it again, die and then go get it again so theres 3 swords?

I think they'll counter that though by making it not respawn in its original place until the first sword hasnt been picked up and has disappeared

i edited my post to say how that could not be the case...

As for energy, sure that would be good to stop overusage. Perhaps make it so X turns it on making it more powerful yet drains the core while X turns it off making it weaker. When it depletes it withers away? I know it wont work like that but it could be good seeing as you dont have to reload it.

I think it should not have a charge/life limit because I mean if you get up close and it goes out, then what are you supposed to do? If you switch weapons you'll probably be already dead. And while your trying to get close to them they'll be blasting the crap outta you, so I think it shouldnt have a life limit.

yes but then everyone will use it.

It could be recharged when not in use but this should tack some time so it doe's not come back to soon

The Warthog will not run out of the gas, as the plasma sword will not run out of energy, or the vehicles out of ammuntion. The plasma sword IS an advantage, which is why everybody shoots and pounces on the person seen out in the open with it.

It'll be a scary weapon. Think AOTCR, when that gold elite with the sword popped out of the doorway at the end of the first bridge, and you just emptied the clip on both guns...you're running backwards, frantically reloading, while he keeps swiping at you and you are jumping like crazy. It's a weapon you fear, and a weapon you want. It would be horrible if you finally killed the owner, only to find it had 3 seconds of charge left...
