What I have to ask you is: Does the Energy Sword "break the game"?
Nope, in fact the game broke the Energy Sword - It was fine from Halo 2 to Halo 3, but in Reach there has been an added counter to the mechanics of the melee weapon where if you melee someone who tries to lunge at you (providing you do it at the right time that is), you effectively counter what should have been a one-hit-kill for the player who was using the Energy Sword, thus ruining the whole prospect of a "power weapon" - There are no counters to other power weapons, save for Armour Lock which is unbalanced to crap due to the fact that it counters literally everything, making a player invincible for 5-6 seconds, and even bouncing rockets back to the players who fired those rounds into the Armour Locker.
inb4 Armour Ability wars.
So let's say normal melee was a 3 hit kill. Would the Energy Bayonet break the game more than the TU Energy Sword? I just don't understand how if an unblockable, one-hit-kill Energy Sword is not game breaking how a 3-hit-kill Energy Bayonet is.
