Maybe long drawn out melee battles would occur, lightsaber vs. Energy sword, Katana battles...

How about the, "plasma source" it's a perfect counter to the "energy sword" because it is the combined opposites from two seperate and VERY stupid arguments!

How about no we dont need it and why would they take the Sword out of Multiplayer it would suck then it is funny when you piss people off from killing them repeatedly and A human melee weapon would suck what would it be a metal sword that weigh's 50 pounds.

They did have something like that for Halo before it move to the XBOX, when it was still on PC. The machete. If you look at the Halo:CE section of this site, the pre-XBOX, you can find the MC holding a machete facing an elite with an energy sword. It would be interesting, but I don't hink it should be in the game. It's cool in a different way from Halo's coolness. And that just isn't good.

No, we have a shotgun. The do however need to weaken the sword. I mean, who thought of the idea to take the battery out in MP? I just don't see why they did that. maybe fore respawn reasons or something.

And a sword or katana wouldn't fit the storyline at all. Having the game balance weapons between Covenant and Human makes the game boring. We need more unique weapons on both sides. Kind of like what they did with the Carbine and BR. Both very similar guns, it seemed kind of unecessary.

They could however have a bayonet or something on one of the human weapons. Might not work out though.

The sword is a weapon that purely distracts from the entire FPS enviorment of Halo 2. Everyone with XBL knows how powerful the sword is on Ivory Tower or Midship is. Imagine if one team had BOTH swords. Umm ya it would be crappy.

Dark Jester 86 is the Gamer tag.

The sword can stay and they can add whatever, as long as they take out sword lunging. I violently dislike it. It is unrealistic and causes lots of glitches.
