Well... about the wraith, unless they add vehicle boarding (which i doubt) it will be multiplayer-only.

I've already addressed this on 343 forums.

See here for the text (and I made an error. the sword does have collision when wielded by Master Chief. It just doesn't have the compatible animation) and here for the videos.

Basically,

Fuel Rod Gun would be op. Enough said. I'd suggest replacing the campaign fuel rod gun with the multiplayer version and giving it the detonation timer (and if possible, make it so that it can be retrieved shortly before it detonates. Picture this: Chief kills a fuel rod Grunt, invisible detonation countdown initiated, Chief walks over it, prompt shows up, he waits, wrong move, it explodes killing him).

Energy Sword would fit in and should be added. In the second video, I tried to charge 2 Elites with the sword and I nearly got killed. And that was on Easy (or Normal). However, it would have to be modified:

-no detonation
-compatible with Master Chief
-given a battery or some kind of disadvantage (then again, being only able to wield 2 weapons at a time is a sufficient penalty)

Finally, the Wraith. It's hard to aim, it's movement speed is crap, it's mortars don't do much damage, it's easily rocked by rockets, grenades.

To make it usable would mean the following changes:

-increase rof (to compensate for damage and aiming) or just make it easier to aim and increase the damage
-increase max speed and/or acceleration speed
-give it some more damage resistance
-make it more stable (i.e. increase back hover height)
