sorry if this is a common thread but i havent seen it.

I think like in single player it should have a battery in multiplayer to even out the playing field and stop people complaining about it being too powerful.

I'd like to see them change the mechanics of the sword.
It was way too easy and simplified.
If it either had a battery, or it was expanded as far as its use, and how you use it then it could potentially be a really interesting weapon.

And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.

Yes! And how are you able to lunge in mid-air?! Just, add a battery.

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

ok, In the book FIRST STRIKE, master chief is fighting a Spec ops Elite, with an energy sword.

1.) During that fight it references to the sword being able to cut to Ship Armor, which is 1-2 meters of Titanium-A armor,

2.) When the blade got close to the master chief his shields started to go crazy, not even touching the blade, just NEAR it.

3.) Think of It as a LIGHT SABER, BUT MORE DEADLY!, because master chief quotes in the books that it cut marines and ODSTs in 2 peicies with 1 swing.

4.) In the small movie in the MMP, the "day at the beach", when the ODST BR get chopped, that what would happen to everything else. cut,

If you ask me Its under powered. I say take out the lunge and give it a battery, just make it a god weapon. well, maybe keep the normal melee lunge for it.

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

Just leave it. I heard people complain about the pistol and look at what happened in Halo 2, the pistol sucked!! (plasma and human)

I agree, it should have a battery. I am not asking for extreme gore, but it should cut someone straight in half. And to all of you who think it should be 'toned down', IT IS A PAPER THIN BLADE OF PLASMA, IT CUTS THINGS.

The sword should be larger and more powerful.
