Seriously, I miss the ol' slap slap stick. Its shape and its shiney blue glow. I miss how it was the perfect sive and its sound when it drops to the ground and the small zip as it swung and hit an enemy. I seriously don't like the new sounds, they are anti-satisfying, they should have the sound when it was turned off the same sound when it was turned on only in reverse and some with the animation. I also want to see the enemy heavily bleed when it is pierced by it like in Halo1 and a kind of crunching of energy when it hits.

If Bungie can do anything to make the Halo3 better than all its predecessors they could atleast make this happen.

...And so the hero crawled through the fissure on the surface of Tyr. There, the lone Dwarf stared into the cold, dark eyes of Soulblighter...The fiend hefted his blade over his shoulder as a flock of raven took upon his form...

-TBG-

it did have a cool design back then and then and on the original Halo E3 trailer, but you couldnt control it could you?

i totaly agree, the old swords had the glow and the steam coming off them, the new ones look like glass more than energy. +1 for old swords in halo 3.

Yah, really liked it when the swords were unwieldable. It made the Elite more menacing to have this ultimate weapon. Anyone remember playing AOTCR on legendary and running from the Gold Elites? Man that cranked up your heart rate.

Keep on fraggin'

I like the H2 swords much better, simply because you can use them! They're great in mp when you know how to use them efficiently.The HCE swords aren't as detailed and look smaller than their H2 counterparts. +1 for H2 swords!

yeah when i first saw the halo2 sword i was like.. nooooo!!! whers the plasma glow?!?!?!

only reason i like halo2 swords is that you can actually use them..which doesn't say much.

What Color does a smurf turn when you choke it?

Yeah i owned with energy swords in halo: CE! O wait i couldnt use them.....so i guess the fact that u can use them maeks them better in Halo 2.

I think it would be cool if they just used the Halo: CE sword model.

I like the CE energy sword better. I mean it looked better, it had steam coming off and glow, and it wasnt as defined. Plasma swords should not be perfectly defined due to the fact it is just super heated gas trapped by ions into a shape. The sword then was better in graphic than halo 2 (even with better engine!!). I hope it is similar to CE in halo 3.
