I would so love to have the chance to play with the plasma sword. Not only that, but I recall a Human Vs. Covenant option for multplayer. That would be so sweet if you can play a sword welding Elite! Heh, so what are your thoughts on the subject?

It'd would be weird playing a FPS with a sword. But I guess it could be done (it was planned for Halo 1), although I wouldn't want to rush any Elite with that thing. You'd be half dead before you got there (on Legendary).

It would open up all new possibilities if it were playable. I hope it they make it playable, imagine a duel against a group of elites. That would be sweet...

bah

And with both the reload button and melee button not being used, you could have a block and big swing option.

the plasma sword would be cool, and maybe when you use it the game switches to 3rd person like with the vehicals? cause most melee based action games tend to be 3rd person for easier control dont you guys think?... i dunno, we'll see i guess...

I think Bungie already confirmed the use of the plasma sword and Elite vs Human MPlayer is also confirmed. I could be wrong about the Elites in Mplayer but i know the sword should be there. :-)

HaloFan21: If you got a statement to that. I'd love to have it. ;)

As for the topic. I don't realy know, it could be fun.. for a while. But in the long run, no. I think you'd get to superior. It would be another thing if you'r armor or something drops once you pick the sword up. That'd make it much more balanced I think.

Bungie hasn't confirmed or not whether the PS will be in Halo 2 or not, a while ago I seem to remember they stated that they were toying with the idea of adding it...but nothing since.

It would be cool though.

i saw my friend using one of those elite swords. but i don't know if he had a mod chip or not. and i really don't like mod chips

Yeah, it was a mod chip. But still, I think the guard thing would be good since you won't have as much freedom once you obtain the Plasma Sword. I mean, having get up and close to your opponents is a risking thing. So obviously there must be a way to reduce the blast intake from the opposing side. I think the best time to use a plasma sword would be if you had some overshield, then you can go for a killing spree. Not to mention, if you had camoflage, that would make it a little harder for them to target you. Of course, you'll need to be continually on the run, but eh. In any case, it would be perfect for multiplayer! Especially if you can play a golden Elite! Yeah, that would so rock! :D

it would be cool if you could use it,but it would get boring quickly (runing up to something,killing,moving on) but it would TOO awesome if you could use the PS AND another weapon at the same time! but,i seriously doubt that woul happen.

I admit it would be pretty cool to use the plasma sword but I dont think they will include it. They already added the melee combo's which kinda defeats the purpose of having a plasma sword. the plasma sword would be more of a pain than a help because you have no range. Meanwhile you can shoot from range with a normal weapon and when you get close just use melee combos to finish him off.

it would be kinda difficult, cause theyd have to have another engine to control the thing, right? but if youve played MGS: substance, they did a good job w/ the katana, using the right thumbstick to aim. and going into 3rd person would be better 4 that part

Heres an idea Bungie: build a Plasma Sword directly into MCs armor as a backup weapon. There were plenty of times on Halo where I ran out of ammo and would have preferred to have an energy sword rather than just plain melee attacks. You could just make the sword run off his suit and run for a minute or two before it would need to recharge to be used again. This is just an idea but it would be very cool to try this idea out.

or an upgrade to the plazma pistal
and the melee attack would be the plazma sword

Even though the Plasma Sword could potentially become a hinderance for the most part, I feel that it would be an excellent weapon for the player that has done it all. Think about it, it'll be so much harder to play with that kind of weapon, you would need to use extreme stealth and flexibility. I still think it's a great idea, especially for multiplayer. Like in a dark area for instance. Heh... *relives the scene from TT&R*
