Wasn't the energy sword unusable until H2 so since reach takes place before that time...You are thinking solely in story, not in game mechanics. Yes, the game takes place before H1, but the game mechanics will only get better, no down grade. The chances of Bungie removing the energy sword is unlikely, due to its popularity with players.What he is saying doesn't really have to do with removing it, but rather in the game, Energy Swords weren't usable. That may have an effect on whether Energy Swords will be available in reach, or not. You have to think of how Halo CE was, and go even less technological than that.
At Forge-Union, I received this comment:
For clarification, the fact that some weapons are not available in the first game is pretty simple. For UNSC weapons, the Pillar of Autumn had just undergone a partially completed refit and resupply, and the main armory was hit while trying to land on Halo.
For Covey weapons, the ships at Halo were there for survey and exploration, not combat. So only basic weapons, and dropships for that matter, were available.
If this quote is true, than the Energy Sword may appear on Reach because their whole armada will be there, not to scout but to destroy. Or...it could be something else.
