What do you guys think about a usable Energy Pike in game. It would have normal lunge attacks. (Think Sword damage with Grav Hammer style attack.) However, it could have a secondary attack where you throw the pike and spear your opponent.

I think it would make sense to have it on the game, because the Covenant went to Reach looking for religious artifacts.

What do you all think?

Yay I can poke people with a metal stick?

Not only a metal stick, but a metal stick with energy blades on it!

Not a fan of the throwing idea, but I'm fond of the idea of using the energy pike as a weapon. Pretty cool idea, I think, on the off-chance that we end up seeing honor guards in Reach.

That does sound good, Sword with Hammer animations.
Just to see it break when it reaches 0 would be epic.

Off-topic idea?
What if you could use it as equipment too?
You stick it into the ground, and it makes a bubble shield.

Well, it would be silly to have them if Honor Guards weren't there. But it is a possibility.

I would also be pretty epic to get in a battle with someone wielding a sword, while you have a pike. Or vice-versa.

I want the Energy Stave. Specifically, I want to swing the Energy Stave in a circular melee attack that will kill everything within ten feet.

No actually it's just a metal stick with metal blades on it.
