I was recently watching the e3 03 halo 2 video(again) and noticed that the energy swords were different than in the e3 04 movie, my oppinion is that they look cooler in the e3 03 demo than in 04. The energy sword in e3 03 is also very similar to the ones in Halo 1. I like the older ones better because they look more staticy and electric vs the smooth model of the ones in e3 04. Post you oppinions and vote.

yo im pretty sure they had to tone down the graphics in 2004 because it was multiplayer and it would lag more, so the energy sword doesnt have that real energy lightsaber looking glow

Graphics are toned down for multiplayer (E3 04) for gameplay issues (it will be like that when the game is out too)

04 by far, it looks sharper...instead of sum fuzzy stick merging into your insides...actually....ow that would hurt...but still 04 :)

they might just have a different version for mp and sp because the sp are 'unsheathed' or turned on instead of just floating in the air or lying on the ground like in mp. That would be a nice touch if you could turn your energy sword on in mp and it glowed or whatever.

We'll see.

Another reason i didnt like the 04 model as much was because it sorta looked like glass, like you were holding a glass sword or something.

What do you mean by "it will be like that when the game is out too"?

Mods do get some special privileges you know. If Shishka says that he's seen it, then I would believe him.
