I relly don't like the new plasma sword. It just doesn't look "original". The original one was kind of fluffy, you know, glowy. The new one looks more like two blue sticks. But, I do like the functionality, like being able to just swipe or do a lunge attack. What do you think about it?

i liked the old one but unless it was in the always on position i like the new on more it just needs to be thicker its a little to skinny because at the right angle you cant even tell he has one but i love how i handles and stuff that is a sweet lunge attack i wonder what the combo is

This sword would be even swetter if it could actually cut someone in half or cut an arm off imagine watching your best friend on xbox live get beheaded i would charge the guy who did it with fists against sword

You guys meant that Energy Knife thing they had in the Multiplayer Demo? Goodness, that thing is absolutely nothing compared the orginal Plasma Sword that the Elites wielded back on the Halo.

I know it's necessary to shorten the blade... for multiplayer balance. Otherwise it would be far too powerful an advantage.

That three foot long blade, the smoke billowing off of it... the seering light that shone in the darkness that made it impossible to hide. I'm going to miss that wondrous thing.

I only hope that it still exists in the campaign, even if you can't wield it yourself...

Yeah, the new energy sword is alright, but it just can't compare to Halo 1's version, which glowed an awesome blue, and generally looked totally sweet. Still, it's alright now, just not as good as it used to be.

I personally don't really care. They will probably tweak some things after feedback from E3.

Yeah, actually, now that I think of it, to me, none of the weapons look like the original to me. The needler fires too fast, I already dont like the battle rifle, its just not the same. But, I still love it. I love what they did with the vehicles. The destructability! Because in the first one, I didnt like the fact that the vehicles did blow up and break pieces off. I loved the feature on the ghost that you can do an energy boost and go 2x as fast. Freakin' awsome!

You are aware you can always just go and play Halo 1. Not to mention the battle rifle is basically a pistol with 30 shots.

Pretty much the only thing I liked about the new plasma sword was the nifty little bolts of electricity the shot between the two blades. It just looked so convincing. Props Bungie!

What I love is how you can take a rocket to your back bumper and live.
How if someone shoots your tire... *blam* No damage to you. Honk your horn and laugh, swing around run him down. (just watch out for rockets and plasma grenades... still, even one of those is only likely to wound you and eject you from the vehicle, not kill you like in Halo 1)

I think the new plasma sword sucks compared to the original Master Chief Killer, but there is an advantage since you can wield this scepter of doom and the enemy will cower before The Leprechaun even more. (I sure hope that you can get into bladelocks with the elites that wield them also)

Yes! A parry function please. I think that would be wild. Though, how would one do a weapon trap/disarm? I don't particularly like a mini-game just popping up *LOL* A slider bar like in the old days... Mash buttons now!!!

i kinda like them both...but i think the new one is a little more realistic in a non-realistic sense. because how could a cloud of energy cut somthing...i'm sure theres more to it than that but the new one looks like the sheild when it is shot. all shiney and white. looks more solid and look slike it is acctually able to cut. but thats jsut what i think....

I think the new one is better for one important reason, you get to use it.

What the hell do you mean? It isn't an advantage to have a sword! You can't shoot with it, can you? It should have stayed the same. The one in the first Halo was pimpin'. The new one just looks like two pieces of stained glass.

I'll probably get used to it, though....

stop it with all the complaints about the plasma sword. you guys are saying that the one in the first halo was better... how is it better when you can't even use it?... the next guy who posts after me is super -blam!-.

  • 05.12.2004 7:55 PM PDT

♠The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's friend's enemy♠

Pardon my -blam!-ness, but do you guys think that the Plasma Sword will stay the same from the E3 DEMO all the way to it's release? I think they will add the Glowey effect soon. Besides this IS after all a Demo.

News flash. The Halo 2 energy sword is almost EXACTLY the same as the one from Halo 1, minus the blue glowing aura. via modding, i have removed the blue aura, and it looks exactly like the Halo 2 energy sword, except the blade is just white, no cool transparency, no little electric bolts, i say the Halo 2 energy sword is better.

I think it is better because like others said you can play with it. Plus if it were as potent as the one from the first it would just be a slaughter fest. I remember the terror i felt when i first saw an elite jump out from a door with one of those. I was in awe and still had my mouth open as i was being severed in two.

Also, if the plasma sword had all the glowy smokin blue stuff, You would loose half your screen. That blue stuff would be impossible to see through... like a handheld smokescreen. Anyways, the Plasma sword is probally not finished, and even if it is, who are u to complain. They could just not have it at all. Don't be spoiled.
