Subject: do you think you should be able to use the katana as an actual weapon

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

I guess it could be fun for custom games and such. I don't use that function very often, so I rarely think of things relating to it.


I realized that when you didn't mention it. It was at that point I just stopped trolling and straight up said what I was trying to troll with.

Most of the 'I want X as a weapon' should be (Unless OP specifically wants it elsewere with his post) approached from the whole 'In forge, as an option' angle.

Personally, I think it would be neat to have MORE weapons and if they match the functionality of another gun they can be made as re-skins to add a little spice and such to customs and screen shots.

Re'skins in forge can hardly break balance unless the weapon they are skinned FROM is imbalanced. They can never break canon as they exist in Forge and Customs.

Personally, I think there needs to be four re-skins of the sword:

Foam finger
Katana (Or, alternatively, a Longsword like a Medieval Knight)
Large Spatula
Combat Knife

Why? Fun. It is just FUN that way.



pointless fun that requires a lot of work.
creating the models, textures, sounds, animations, behavior, balancing and more things I can't think of.
I'd rather have the studio focus on getting things right (long campaign, better networking etc) than silly weapons and risks of having them delay the game.


OH GOD. How dare I forget right?

It's a videogame, why in the world would anyone care about FUN in a goddamn videogame. Jesus christ someone just ban me then.

Bungie is going to make a good game. It'll play fine and look cool, like Bungie always manages to do.

God forbid people who LIKE having pointless fun from time to time are covered to right?

No, you are Mr. Mature gamer who wants mature games for mature gamers. No fun allowed. Only SRZ BIZNESS.

If you have nothing better then the narrow-minded 'NO FUN ALLOWED' mindset that I was trolling about earlier, just GTFO. You are the cancer killing games.

Edit: AT THAT, I bet making a foam finger just FTlolz would take ages amiright? My god. The games would be on like, a YEARS delay over stupid little addons amiright?

Get realistic. Nothing I said was asking much. I am just asking for good time and goofier toys to maim and destroy with. Seriously. I'm not expecting nor demanding them either, I just want them at some point because it would be hilarious to me.

I LOVE how you ignored the ONLY point of my post and showed us how mature you are.
(point is : have them focus on IMPORTANT stuff rather than waste time on pointless stuff).
so YOU wouldn't mind having them delay the release of the game, have a shorter campaign, the same networking from H3, and a badly balanced game so you can have fun with a little knife in customs only because "lololol itz fun!11!1sickmlglol" ? good for you. you're the only one here.

I love how you read the whole post. I ended up leaving out the last bit, then adding it on after thought.

Damn right I was flaming you, you deserve it. The game wouldn't be delayed five minutes over something like that and even common sense knows it.

Also, nice NOT understanding MY post. I want them as Re-skins. their sounds, Behavior and balance is shared with the Energy Sword because they would BE an energy Sword with a different skin.

I think they would be neat re-skins, just like the 7-wood in Sandbox. Nice missing my point.

At least I can rest easy knowing people with your attitude will never be extended any of the luck I have. Forum titles are to be ignored most of the time anyway. I only respect people who post well.

It was not skipped. It was ignored. What the books say are meaningless if Bungie chooses to change things. Bungie makes the rules, not the books

It isn't like I don't see were you are coming from, but I'm still going to give you a hard time about it. Videogames aren't SRS BIZNESS and Canon is only what Bungie says is Canon.

If they really wanted, the blade could simply be made of a metal that Shields aren't particularly effective at blocking out and viola, you have an excuse. Christ, they could color it green and suddenly Shields are pierced by kryptonite.

Someone else correct me if I'm wrong but the stories had to be approved by Bungie before they could be finalized and Bungie treats them like canon.

And while Bungie can simply retcon whatever they want they run the risk of alienating part of their playerbase if they do. Lord knows that when Marvel and DC crumble and burst into flames I will be there to roast marshmellows over the embers singing Kumbia. So Bungie is limited in what they can and can't do. Canon is theirs but at the same time not theirs.

So what is likely to happen is that Bungie is going to pursue a fun game within the bounds of the story they have told and the rules of the stylized world they have set up. Yes it's a world of cyborgs in advanced suits of armor fighting religious aliens who mistake ancient yet even more advanced weapons of ultimate destruction as tools for transcending into "heaven." Yet it still follows it's own rules loosely based on reality.

I'm just hanging around here, nothing much to say.
Also, my posts are awful

i dont see why almost everyone in here had to be rude about it. The katana could replace the weapon melee or be a weapon like the golf club. and its a game, so your telling me hitting with your hand on ARMOR kills him makes sense.

I agree put it for a different skin i don't care if it is even weaker just put it in for like little entertaining things like machinamas (sorry don't know how to spell it) i think it would allow good freedom and new cool props.
