I'm sorry to the guy who made that tracking rocket thread, but hey, it must've been a good idea for me to copy it.

Yeah, will your strategy be to include the plasma sword in your "array" of weapons?

Or will it be to keep away from it and "snipe" from a distance?

Basicaly, will you take the risk of using it to get up close to someone, or will you "not"?

I'll love sneaking up behind someone, but instead of just meleeing them, I'll chop them, making for extra humiliation.

It is basically a rocket-launcher/shotgun kind of weapon. You need to be upclose to get kills though. I think swords may rival Rocket matches although I'm betting on Rockets being the reigning champ due to all those explosions.

....And blood.

But do you think it'd be cool to have prisoner with only plasma swords?

besides the plasma sword, a knife should be a default weapon that you would wear all the time, in the books, MC seemed to always have one... kinda like the flashlight, would take half the damage the plasma sword takes, and that way you can still hold a primary and secondary weapon/


Plasma Sword: back to topic)))


FRIEND! wooosh, head off, never know what hit you.

You want the sword?

Basicaly, will you use it?

Yeah, head off. *replay* head on, head off, head on, head off,

Now you see it, now you don't.

That would be pretty hectic. Frankie already said there is a swords type anyway which is good news.

Ash you realize you don't have to be close to use the rocket launcher right? Other then to be accurate because of the slow moving rockets, Nevermind, I stand corrected.

I just need a sword. Even if they released a demo with only you running around holding one, It'd still be fun.

The advanatge the sword has over the rocket or shotgun is that it can lock for guaranteed kill with some range(with out worry of killing yourself when compared to rocket) and can attack a lot faster. Green thumb players like myself will be deadly with it.

I'd love to see this in a rocket vs sword fight:
Guy with rocket shoots at me, I leap into the air over the explosion given some lift from taking some of the hit, lock on to my target from the air and as I land insta kill him with a lunge (obviously you can lunge in mid air). Should be sweet.

For the Rocket launcher in Halo 2 does it track everything or just vehicles?
