Okay, I've been thinking. You know that energy sword that lets you fly if you go "swing" while looking at someone? Well, I've reverse engineered it, and here are my findings.
Before I start, I need to explain some things.
Okay, the sword is used by elites. They built it for themselves.
The formula for elites is as follows.
Elites=Velociraptors^2-tail+super tech
Now, velociraptors are dinosaurs Proof: Velociraptors=dinosaurs.
Now, Pterodactyls=dinosaurs, so thus, velociraptors=pterodactyls.
The elite sword modifies the Elite's DNA into a pterodactyls. DNA can be altered with shots, So look at this. The blue stuff is actually the pterodactyls wings, and it fuses with the elites using that bit where the hangle is between the wings.

So, you must be thinking by now, "What about the spartans?"
Well, I have the answer to that as well. Spartans are genetically modified. I can only assume that the UNSC took all the DNA from all the awesome animals and combined it into human DNA. Since there was so much awesome packed into 1 person, some spartans were crippled or dead from the process. Anyway, the spartans obviously have dinosaur DNA, which means that they also have pterodactyl DNA. This means that the sword registers the spartans as pterodactyls, and will unlock the spartans' true potential by temporarily transforming them into pterodactyls.

Now you are thinking: Why don't we see pterodactyls? It's simple, really. The transformation only lasts for a quarter^255 of a second, which is perfectly acceptable time for a pterodactyl to reach near the speed of sound, and then transform back. This is also why you can block swords, because once they're back in their original form, they can be stopped.
This also explains why humans mistakingly call it a plasma sword. They think that because it's so hot, it's plasma. But it's actually friction.

This is also why marines can't have energy swords.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Gameplay is your answer.

Nobody would use the sword if you couldint lunge with it.

Dude, I figured that out years ago. Come one.

...this is the only logical solution!

Even the greatest were once at the bottom.

That was... different.
