I think the arbitor should have more Samurai qualities. The berserking style the sword should should have a more Honerable style of fighting as well. Blade should repel blade I think. H3 three should add a more skilled style of fighting. Nothing to crazy just block-slash-block-lunge-block along side the crazy barbaric lunge. It gets boring when people each have a blade and it goes to luck of the draw.

What u all think?

Are we talking about Halo 3 or Red Steel?

Ohh, the Energy Sword, well, you're right about the sword on sword thing, but that just makes it too complicated.

Not like it would be a bad thing or anything, but having to duck, and slash in many different ways isn't really an option in Halo 3, if it would be at all.

Think about the controller and all, where or what would you press? The whole controller is taken up, cause you use the directional pad to move also.

Are you saying that there should be a block button for the sword? I can't really understand what you are getting at.

I think you should fix the spelling of honorable :)

But yeah, I have no idea what you're saying. It sounds like you think that a player weilding a sword should interact in combat a little cleaner against another person with a sword rather than a sometimes seamingly random short insta-kill.

If that's what you're saying, I agree with you to a degree. Halo is a pretty fast game, it would be a bit silly if sword fights could take a while since you'd just get picked off by a third party weilding any sort of ranged weapon. But I do agree that there should be a block function (use the melee key, it does the same thing as the trigger anyway. It's a sword)! They should still be quick fights, but some tactical coolness would be fantastic. I'd love the rush I'd get when someone lunged at me, I blocked them and got a counter-attack off before they had regained control of their weapon. May not kill them, but it'd be fun.

If the theory about the dual weilding swords turns out to be true (Halo Graphic Novel potential "clue") I'm sure we'll see that sort of thing.

The Arbiter is as honorable as anyone can be. He fights the endless hordes of Flood. He fights those who seek to destroy his race. He fights for those next to him. He is more honorable than Master Chief.

I think the Arbiter should have the powers of Chuck Norris
