Only in SP so you can go all crazy on the elites and send them running. I would cry blood if I saw someone DWing swords running at me in MP. And following my death I would shut off the Xbox.

This seems pointless, you can lunge in with one sword, you can lunge in with two, either way you're holding a one hit kill - why bother?

Take out Lunge. Simple as that, but make it a one hit kill no matter what unless of course you have an overshield.

That would be the most idiotic decision Bungie has ever made.

No......unless, and this is a big maybe, they take the lunge out. Not having the lunge would make dual-weilding not have such a drastic effect. You would still have to get close.

I personally hope they keep it single weild and make it not have a lunge.(it's sword, not a honing missle)

i voted no... but if they took away the sword lunge altogether dual swords would be alright

It would be for ounce to have reasonably good dual fight with energy swords also their should be more ways to combat and block energy sword attacks with energy swords.

Currently 35 people say No (counting me). So I guess saying everyone wants Duel weildable swords is an inaccurate statement. It would ruin balance. I think the sword should definately stay. It would be better to make the sword wear out after so much use. Similar to using the sword in Campaign.

The energy sword had its moments, but the dual wieldable is lame...

I personnally hate the sword with a passion. Take it out all together. I hate it when no talent hacks use the sword then laugh and taunt people. No -blam!- you got 15 kills! It's a one hit kill weapon dumb ass! One of the reasons I like to play SWAT is you only have carbines, BR, and mags. I wish for a combat knife. I would be utterly useless against anything but grunts and jackels, though. Stealth kill. Muahahaha!

Umm... no... no dual wield. Go and play Star Wars somewhere else.

They should add a half a hit hit kill instead of a one hit kill, so like, its so powerful, you dont need to him completely.

The guy who doesnt really care about stuff has spoken.

It should be in Halo 3.
It should not be dual wieldable.
It should have limited power in multiplayer, but a kill takes less power than in campaign.

  • 07.01.2006 7:05 PM PDT

I say that Energy Swords shouldn't be dual-wieldable unless they make it so that you can't lunge while holding another weapon. Including another sword.

There's nothing wrong with lunging. If Spartans and Elites can sprint faster than a car, then a lunge would be realistic and doable, for them that is. The energy sword is a one-hit killer(again, Bungie was very lenient on this, the sword was more powerful in Halo), at the cost of having to run up to an enemy against a hail of bullets and plasma. At least give them what little advantage they have. It's no different than the current Shotgun.

Leave the energy sword as it is.

If you haven't noticed, the Chief and Arbiter sprint slower than I can walk.

OMG
Master Chief w/o his Helmet!


Stosh <3's me vicariously... at least someone does...

Holding an smg with it (sacraficing your lunge ability while you hold it) would be fun.
