So ya love the sword when you have it, hate when ya get stabbed! Ideas for how a sword could be in halo 3 and still be ballanced. I've got a couple, how bout you?

1. Limited power like on story mode from halo 2.
2 After 5 hit's the sword blows up on your hand hurting you a little.
3. Some sort of dodge move. The same move could be a lean for corners.
4. A special block move that is only good if the attacker is facing you and you press the button combo at the right time.

The dodge move seems cool, but not against a sword, it would be worthless then. But the blocking move is quite interesting if you ask me, something like pulling left thumb stick backwards and holding B, would higher your gun ( and holding it horizontically (don't know how to spell =/ ) and protect your face and upper chest from being hit, you will still get half the dmaga of a normal attack. But this should only work if you time it well enough, and should block sword half, normal melee full.

5hits?????

man that is bad

in campain you can make like... ....at least 10hits and in multy... it have no energy becouse in the real life a sword has also no ammo/energy so why here?

but the block move could make ik much beter, that is a great idea

Well, Maybe ten hits would work better, and if you miss it doesn't count. But being an energy sword it has energy

you have a point with that

but the reason it is so strong in halo2 is because there is 1 in a standard multy game

I think the best idea would be to have no sword at all. I mean, come on, it's the most overpowered weapon in the game, it totally ruins any close-combat battles. I think they should rework the shotgun and leave the pink-stick out of it...
