I don't think the plasma sabre will be playable, because of the safe-gaurd they have, and plus I don't think they just leave those lying around in storage bins. If they did have them though, it would be cool if it was like an unlockable for the campaign or some thing like that, if they do decide to put some unlockables in, which I am against, but for some reason I'm giving a good reason why they should be included. If I just confused you, I know I probably did, so don't point it out, lol.

Plasma Sword I can't see how it would be a bad thing it would be a great edition for close combat situations.

Now that I think about it, SP wise I woudl like it, but when you think about it in multiplayer, I think it would be to cheap.

Me and my friends sometimes that we like to call swordfight. we only use melee attacks its very fun and the plasma pistol will actually make our game make sense ... because there will actually be a sword

Very interesting thought... Should be very neat indeed with melee combos. There should be a way to counter it, however. It could possibly act like a lightsaber in that only another sword could block it. I wonder if they can block plasma fire... Makes me wonder if the MC grabs one right after the E3 demo closes, eh? That would be an interesting trick. It's obviously a one handed weapon, so dual weilding would be insane. Imagine having an smg with it for suppressive fire to get close, then an instant melee kill when you get within reach.

I dont think they need to make melee combos for a one hit kill weapon.

Indeed, I think the one hit is good enough. I just read someone mentioning the option of turning it on and off. That would be great, you can camoflage and sneak up behind someone and then turn it on and cut there head off. That would be so freaken cool! And if you get overshield, you can go on a killing spree! Oh yeah.... *Drools*

I really hope there are usable plasma swords in Halo 2. One of the first things I thought about when Halo 2 was announced was if they were going to have usable plasma swords or not.

I dont think so, and I hope not! It would be too weird to have a FPS with swords. I would hate MC after that for using them too. I see MC as a Gun Toting GOD! A militaristic Hero. Him using the sword would be stupid and pointless. It just wouldnt fit him.

Yuo know what would be sweet is a plasma sword in one hand and a SMG in the other.

I dont like the Idea of it being in the game as a normal thing but maybe as like a unlockable thing you can get for the campaign only after you beat the game on legendary.

to the people who said no to melle combos that one hit was enough. Are u guys no thinking. Have u thought about if u miss. Those elites sure can dodge. And its not hurting anything it will help. It would be dumb if u could use combos with ur gun but the only actual weapon used for only melees u could only swing with one strike. come on that would be dumb and it would tick me off.

Maybe the Plasma Sword should be used by Elites only in multiplayer? That would still be cool!

If the Plasma Sword appears in Halo 2, you should go into 3rd person view and go Ninja Gaiden on your enemies...ex: frontflips, backflips, and combos. maybe some head cuttings! :D

It would be cool if you had dual swords. It would be even more awesome if you could throw them and then pick them back up.

That would be so wrong, especially since the thought of Mortal Kombat comes to mind when you mention throwing swords around. Sheesh, that's a little over the top for me. Lol!

it would be decent it was originally planned for Halo (Halo was 4 years in production)

Without a block function, it ould be pretty useless on legendary and multiplayer. If you tried to chop your friend up on multiplayer, all he'd have to do is back step and pistol you. But if there is a block function put in it would be a bit unfair in head on fight, as you could keep on blocking everything, the only way to kill you would be from behind, or with a rocket or vehicle.
