Yeah, probably it will be pretty powerful. I'm not sure though, as it's not the "Plasma Sword" in the first Halo. They could be completely different.

Actually it's called a plasma sword. Here's a pic of it The 9th pic. And in the E3 vid the guy just hit him once and he was dead.

The lunge attack is a one-hit kill, at least with normal health and sheilds.

watch the video, it shows how strong it is, one hit kill with the lunge, and about two hits someone said with pressing B for a regular melee attack

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

It's the same sword as in the first Halo, but without the glowey effect, but they'll probably add that later.

one thing you have to remember is that its a MELEE weapon, somebody with a sniper weapon could take you out before you even got close enough to use your precious saber. remember even if youre cloaked that sword is the most conspicous thing in the universe.

i remember once when i launched a plasma grenade at a gold elite when he had his plasma saber. as he lunged at me the grenade exploded in the air and he fell to my feet.

I'm sure Bungie has already thought of how snipers can kill swordmen pretty easily. Thats why in many of the new levels they have made have more objects for you to hide behind so your not shot up that easily by snipers (blood gulch doesn't have many places you can hide. Their are some big spots to hide, sure, but you'd be pinned in that area for a long time unless you had backup. So Bungie has taken that into consideration, other wise: why the hell would they put a sword in Halo2 in the first place?)

Why couldn't you just use a different weapon, then switch to the plasma sword when you want to? That's what I would do anyways, lol.

The Plasma sword will be Strong coz u hav 2 go all the way up to your target, anyway it'll be a secondery weapon. It'll kick @$$ in tight indoor lvls. I know a good halo 2 close combat combo Shotgun & Plasma sword. I think that the Plasma sword well hav a battery like other covie weapons the more you swing it the energy decreases

Why would it have a Battery? It's a friggin' melee weapon!!

from the demo, it doesnt have "ammunition constraints, or battery levels"

It's a melee weapon thats extremely hard to get, only works at close range, and only kills in one hit if used correctly, so its not ultimate, just good for close range, i reckon it'll be cool!
