As I and many others have said over and over, remove the sword lunge and fix the problem the shotgun has from time to time when it doesn't fire correctly.

i believe that the plasma sword is too powerful, so a couple people i know suggested that they make the plasma sword lose energy in MP like in Campaign mode and put a katana in the game. It would be less powerful than the plasma sword, but it wouldn't run out of "energy" like the plasma sword.
OMG GREAT IDEA!

LETS EVEN ADD BAYONNETES AND HORSES!

No. Heard of the Shotgun? And the sword isn't that powerful. Learn to counter it.

If your thinking of removing the lunge. Uh...buddy. then there would be no point in using it. The Shotgun needs a longer range, the damage is fine just give it a longer range and get rid of the host probelem.

If anything is to be done to the sword, make the lunge so you don't fly in the air. Unless your close to wall and you would make a matrix like wall run on it, and come up on the floor where the enemy is and slash. How would it work? Master Chief has magnetic boots(read the books). For Elites, same thing I suppose. Or telepathy or the same way as a Spartan. Or sticky glue that is released to stick to walls.

But no, no Splinter Cell moves there.

You should be allowed increased mobility with the sword, and a one hit kill. Sorry I left that out.

Sometimes the shotgun won't do any damage when you shoot someone and you are aiming dead on. I think it is in part due to lag, actually mostly lag I should say. It is just something that needs to be refined.

I would say no, and why would they remove the lunge? If they did then it would behave just like the brute shot without the projectiles.

I think in Halo 3 they should put in a prod of some kind. You know, to stun a covie or a flood parisite. And maybe a needler shotgon that blows needles everywhere.

The life and world you see is just a cheery toped and sugar coated version. You know nothing of Hell. Unknown to you and everyone around you is that there is a war going on that you can't see. Now that you know, you are part of it. And if you are going to survive, your going to need to learn to pull the trigger.

for some reason i don't see the UNSC using Katanas

they origoanly did have a sword or it was actully a machety long long ago in the first halo develpoing process. Now as much as i would like to whip out a odsts nife and stab the -blam!- out of you some how i dont see that takeing your sheilds down or stabing threw armour plateing except if bungie goes threw with there new theroy of depedning where you hitthe armour the more or less damage you do you no like hit the steel littel damage hit tbe kevlar armour at the joint areas get more damge also good nife area penetration lol. but if oyu really wanted a human counter part to the sword that didnt require you shooting some 1 how about SYTHE!!!!! NOW YOUR COULD REALLY PLAY THE PART OF THE GRIM REAPER!!! But in more reailty you no how the swat teams have heavy steel sheilds used when entering a house or building that sohuld be the humans counter part able to block builts but deos no damge but you may weild a pistol or smg with it like in counter strike!!!

a dual weildable machette would be nice. sword is garbage, so is shotty. they both depend way too much on your connection. in my opinion, the only real match is pure rifles. screw mlg. screw slayer. all i want is a battle rifle. they should remove all other weapons and bring back the pistol, thats all anyone should need. but seriously, the weapon set they have now is great. adding more weapons would just clutter the system....unless they gave you a baby launcher.....that would be killer. PULL! WAAAAaaaaa...... BLAM!

I say we should have, not an energy sword, not a shotgun, not a katana, but a stick. With a stick the possibilities are endless...

The shotgun is the sword equivelant. A combat knife would be realistic, but you already have the shotty and sword.

If they did do a combat knife, I would like to see it implemented, ONLY IF you can block and if they get rid of the lunge (same with the sword). Remove the attack for the B button and use the right trigger for swipes while the B button can block. That would make it more fun and have a new dimension of fighting added to the game.

It couldn't hurt, but then again we would have to have two swords instead of one on every map. For single player, a human knife would make for some good stealth kills as well.

Haha. Yea, a knife or a machete? How about a frikin musket while were at it!

But you know, if you're really good, you would learn what to do about the sword, I think the lunge of the sword is the cool thing about it, taking it out would make the weapon kind of bland, because then it would just be a melee weapon, and every gun can melee.

But maybe something shouod be done about it.

A katana? How about we add some magical spells, you know, you can level up, equip different pieces of armor that raise your magic, add a few spirit enemies, and then make everything Japanese based, and call it, Magic: The Nerding. Or Gathering, I'm not too picky.
