after seeing the 2004 E3 demo i noticed he said that the plasma sword lunge attack is a almost definite 1 hit kill.....and since we can you it wouldnt that make the campiegn mode to easy if you can run around killing enemies in one hit

(sorry if this was posted before)

How difficult was it to kill a gold elite with a sword in Halo? How often did he kill you with his 1 hit kills?

i really doubt we will b seeing much of the energy sword in the campain, becuase it is such a powerfull weapon, in the e3 multiplayer demo u saw how the energy sword was like so prized and hidden.......i really doubt they will just put it laying around in the level and make it easy 4 us

Well, you're right about it being a one hit kill. You know what else it is, though? A bullseye. In other words, the guy with the sword in MP is going to be a moving target that everyone's going to take a shot at.

I doubt SP will be any different.

doubt it would be that great of an advantage in campaign when fight multiple targets. remember you have to have a lock on an enemy to perform the one hit kill and it will only take out one enemy at a time. rely on it to heavily and you will become fodder for covenant at medium to long range. think about it did the shot gun unbalance the single player (one shot kills at close proximity)? sure it made parts of it easier but it wasn't the end all be all weapon of the game.

Also no one mentioned the fact that you stay prone and frozen for a couple seconds after you lunge. Do that in a crowd of covies or miss your target in MP and you're toast
