Dual weilding swords wouldn't really change anything,it kills in one hit anyway...

The sword needs battery in Halo 3 though.

I don't want melee lunging on the sword either. There was no skill involved in using that weapon. :\
it was to have fun with..... which is the point of games

OMG HAXORZ GUYS!!!!

the sword is sooooo totally NOT a skilled weapon....
BR's man...thats all i play with....yeah
the bxb, bxr, bxl, rrx, rrxyyrrx...man now THAT totally takes skill, and is NOT cheating in ANY way, and totally does NOT interfere with the reload animations at all....
oh guys, btw, MLG is teh pwnzorz!!!!!! like totally!!!!!

yeah the sword is SOOOO totally a cheap weapon, he can get like 5000 kills a second with it, just like a modder!!! matter of fact, i think ill report him for that shiznit man!!!! cuz that totally takes no skill!!!
and he is SOOO invincible at medium and long range!!!!
and i wanna whine and cry because i run into the same small room where the sword guy is with only my precious BR and he gets me every time!!! and i expect that to change!!!! because i am totally an MLG pro!!!!

so yeah, they should take everything except the BR and sniper rifle out man....cuz everything else totally takes no skill....
and i totally have a right to judge everyone else....
so yeah they should take out everything that takes teamwork to kill, because i hate teamwork, because i can just run in there by myself and totally POON everything in existance, because im the best player ever!!!
and anything that i cant totally POON is just cheating


but anyway, on a more serious note (oh how i love sarcasm)
it would be cool to lock on to two different people with your dual wielded swords, and then when you lunge, your arms would separate from your body and you would run around armless like a flood until someone kills you....
that would be cool, they should do that

Thats NOT a good idea! The energy sword is awsome, and it would be a rip off when you play as the atber!

I hope there isn't dual wielding swords. I also hope that they bring back the Halo 1 pistol. It help a lot on blood gultch where snipers don't dominate the map like in Halo 2. The pistol brought balance to Halo 1. The only reason you hated the H1 pistol is because you didn't practice long enough with it to get good at it.


actually i didnt "hate" it really. it just got a little old for me, that was pretty much the only weapon anyone ever used, i mean its a freakin pistol, it really shouldnt be that powerful. im fine with the BR its not too powerful like the pistol was and not too weak. the real problem is when to spawn with that type of weapon as a starting weapon and when not too. and i not complaining about the sword, i just think its ridiculous that its better than a shotgun and has a longer range, which would be because of the lunge.

I never really did care that much for energy swords unless i am playing on a tight map (Lockout, Ivory Tower). Usually i can easily kill the sword guy with a BR from medium range or a shotgun. I honeslty think it is pretty balanced. I mean its not like the sword guy is gonna totally own everyone on a map like say, Coagulation. All im saying is that swords really only have a good chance at getting a high amount of kills is on a small map.

Don't blame Bungie. You all wanted the energy sword in the game ever since you saw it in Halo. In fact, Bungie made the sword weaker in Halo 2. It's possible sometimes to survive a hit from it. In Halo, you could barely survive a slash by an Elite with overshields on. So you got what you wanted. Stop complaining.

Dual-wielding energy swords is really no different than wielding a single sword. It'd only be kinda pointless unless you want it to be like Crouching Tiger, of which sword dueling has yet to be perfected in the gaming universe.

The energy sword alone does not make it a weapon that "takes no skill to use". Someone has a sword. Everyone else has guns and cannons. Who is more likely to win? So you're saying a sword wielder should not get one kill, period.? If you are one of those who gets killed by sword-wielders, then you are hopeless. Players camping with the sword do use skill and tactic-stealth and ambush.

Maybe that's why there's something called a Shotgun(which by the way, also need to be reverted back to the original Shotgun's range and effectiveness). There are also alot of ways to counter a sword-wielder.


^My thoughts exactly. The only change I would want is an ammo count.

Phoenix is dead, long live Phoenix!
Is it?

The sword has its good points and its bad points as does everything else.

The only thing i can think have dual swords would be for looks.
Seriously, dual swords, wicked!!! oh and put an effect in if you slice someone across the body with a sword have there body fall into two parts.

It was less cheap than the sword was.

At least the pistol involved aim.

  • 06.25.2006 7:31 PM PDT

Man, stop complaining about the sword, and stop flaming OXM, they have thoughts about the game just like everyone of you do. Plus yours could be stupider.

Nobody is complaining about the sword.

The Energy Sword makes you feel like a ninja, which is why I like it. I can probably get killing sprees over and over again, but that's assuming the other players are idiots otherwise I'll probably get away with 3 kills at most.

I think the reason people are pissed the most is because players who have the Energy Sword don't show it. They brandish it when the other player leasts expects it! That sucks, but oh well that's how the game works, saying that's cheap is like pulling out a shotgun when the players get too close. It seems logical and fair to me.

Also I fail to see the integrity of the Energy Sword faced off against the shotgun in capable hands. The reason most people are mad is because they're the victims.
