I wonder, will Bungie pull through and make the plasma blades useable, or the wraith tanks, or any other weapon that was unusable. Post what you people think

I think it said somewhere that the plasma sword was useable. I haven't heard any thing about the wraith though.

i think wraiths in mp would cane but although the blades are damn cool on the harder difficulties wouldnt they be kinda useless? you'd get blown/shot/hacked to pieces unless you just waited round a corner for them

Also has anyone heard anything on the "Shadow" vehicle (the convenant warthog look-a-likee) beyond that bit of concept art?

i think they should, but usually when theres a wraith tank, theres an elite in it, and the only way to get him out is to blow it up, making it non-usable. the only ones we see parked with no one in it is inside the truth and reconsiliation but thats indoors, i dont think you should be able to use them there. if there was one parked outside we should be able to use it though. all the weapons should be usable

i don't know, they could have advantages like a long reach which would help as a secondary weapon kinda like carrying the shotgun. I think the wriath would be very useful, esspecially in the multiplayer battles.

You can get to wraiths outside on the Assault On The Control Room but it doesn't let you enter them just flip them if they are wrong way up.

Don't forget, You can steal enemy vehicles. Maybe the Chief will pull that hatch open and yank the elite out of it. Or shoot it off.
And just imagine this. 3rd person wielding 1 or 2 plasma blades. Skillfuly.

And maybe use a SMG and PB at the same time. Can you say "Hawley Smoot"?

I think the plamsa swords would only be good in a small level, in GI there was a really small level, but plasma swords would only be fun if it were jsut plasma swords, anyone else?

plasma swords would be amazing if you could use them, could you imagine 1 in each hand slicing and dicing covenant, wowowowowow.

not entirely true: on AotCR (the wraith you find on the big ice patch just before you meet the contingent of soildiers in the conyony bit) you can move till you can just see the tank and then edge round till the elite 'appears', then shoot him with the sniper rifle.
This is quite hard but on Two Betrayls you can go down the multi leveled tower (staying on the right) until you reach the level just above the ground. It should autosave and then once you go past a certain point (near a broken bit of wall) the elite will 'appear' again so you can shoot him

Of course this achieves absolutely nothing as all you can do is stand on the wraith and look inside.

wraiths are powerful but in the end totally useless if you actully concetrate on its attack youll notice you can always dodge it cos its so slow. Maybe in halo two if they did make it possible to drive one they could make it a level where you had to shoot down a certain number of banshees. It could be alevel where you have to highjack one and defend the main base from an air attack. That would be cool cos then you could use one but it wouldnt be overwhelmed by enemies so its slowness wouldnt let u down

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

How would the control for a plasma sword work? I think that plasma swords are sort of useless, and it doesn't really fit in with MC's repetoir.

Agreed. The chief doesnt seem like the kinda guy whose gonna go all ninja on the covies with a sword. Plus it would seem useless in a large scale fight that isnt indoors. A jackal brings your shields down and then everybody else just owns you while you chase after them swinging...

ya a wraith would be sweet and all but before you start thinking about it think about how you would fire it it would be really hard for bungie to come up with a way for it to fire the way the covenant do

It would be just like the Fuel rod gun in the PC arc like and There is a 4 wheeler in Halo2

It would be FRIGG'N SWEET to duel wield swords and bounce them back at the covies almost Jedi... but not...
