I actually enjoy unlocking weapons, it would give me a reason to level up.

First off, the katana, and Hayabusa armor was only in halo, because Bungie gave Team ninja the spartan to use in dead or alive 4, so in return, Team ninja gave bungie permission to make a armor permutation based on Ryu Hayabusa, The main character in Ninja Gaiden, and playable character in the DoA series, Second off, Thats a Halo 3 subject, it don't belong in the Reach forums, 3rd off, if there were gonna be a Human equivalent to the Covenants energy sword, I would want it to be more bad ass, and futuristic looking, rather then an ancient Katana, which technically by the halo time line, would be dull and crappy, and absolutely useless against anything your fighting in that time.

As much as my OCD loves collecting things and completing patterns and trends.

No.

The katana is cool, it's nifty for machinema but as a practical or needed weapon addition?

No.

  • 11.18.2009 12:37 AM PDT

Yeah, very useful, specially when attacking a battle armor with shields /sarcasm.

  • 11.18.2009 12:40 AM PDT

Whats up with Spartans calling Elites Dinosaurs? I mean Spartans are the ones almost extinct! XD

Your regular kantana can say hello to my shotgun with armor piercing shells?

  • 11.18.2009 12:52 AM PDT

you have the energy sword....

Maybe but if you really think about it then some people who actually have the Katana like me would beat everyone in the game because we have a third weapon which would be the Katana and that would probably have the same function as either the Energy sword or the Gravity hammer, unless they make it so that we can only carry one weapon when we have the Katana equiped e.g. Assault rifle with Katana etc...

no offence but a katana against bulletproof enegry shields=no chance.the sword is like a lightsaber so it can pierce through

something more like a forge only weapon like the golf club on sandbox for aesthetics and messing around with friends.

Have it so that its aesthetic only like so instead of hitting with your weapon your ninja-tastic hand flips across your back, grabs the sword and slices the enemy and places it back, all in a second or two, same strength, speed, etc as a normal melee.

I like this idea, could also work for CQB knife

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

Hmm. Carbon steel vs. energy shields? Who will win?

  • 11.18.2009 3:45 AM PDT

I think there shouldn't even be a Katana in Halo: Reach.

Yeah sure why not? Lets add in a bow and arrow and a rock to balance things.

Then it's a reward for all the hard work put into getting it =P

Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

You'll be thinking otherwise when your katana is melted from a player's shields.
