That would be sweet if in the weapon settings of Halo 2 it would be plasma swords only like how there are rocket and shotgun only settings

On a scale of 1-10 how much fun would it be to play a MP game (link, live, whatever) with only swords?
And why do you give it that score?

9. it would be really fun, but after a while it would just get kindof annoying. you see some noob jsut standing there, pratcitally SREAMING "snipe me, snipe me!". then you run up to whack him with your sword and he kills you first. winning the game.

10 all the way. It wopuld be fun. Only close up battles and with teams that would be even better. Its like its spartans verse Elites with only plasma swords and a spartan is battling a Elite and another sp[artan comes and knocks the elite dead with the plasma sword. That wou;d be awsome.

When it comes to sword verse sword ithink it would be cool if bungie added a block action so you could defend yourself.

I think that it would be stupid b/c it is something that Halo 2 really doesn't need. It is already going to be the best game ever so it doesn't need something like that to take up space for something that could make the game even better.

Umm... swords AND multiplayer are already in Halo 2

We already have a game type that we call "Bash" in two versions, Regular Bash and 400% Health Bash.

Both of them are fun as all heck. The 400 Health version has created what we call the "Gang Beats" strategy where it takes two men to pin the other in the corner where they pummel him pitilessly.

I'm ramped up to do a sword battle, though, considering the near instant kill feature of the blade we're probably going to have to amp up the health unless they put in the block/parry function.

He meant cause you would have to chase people down. I don't think that's true though. Just play on a somewhat small course and presto! Enemies all around for your blade to turn them into spaghetti. It would be the best game of multiplayer ever. As for that noob thing, you could just do the lunge attack that practically drags you thirty feet at the guy. Also, the sword will have a great use when there are guns around. If you end up behind someone who is running the same direction as you, just use the sword's lung attack and it will kill them. You won't have to wait for them to stop anymore. Also, you can still throw grenades with it in your hand, and that lunge attack goes pretty far.

A game like that would be a 10. Definitely.

A block or parry would add skill besides the sword frees up so many buttons because you no longer have to shoot, reload, or melle. So that leaves 2 empty buttons for bungie to work with and i being a fencer hence my name would love to see a block it make using the sword require so much more skill when you tried to use against another sword person.

well you have to use B for general swing and the right trigger for you lunge power attack thingy. so that takes two buttons so a pary feater wouldn't be hard i would build it like you hold X and move your left control stick in the block direction.

now what would be cool is if there was two guys on either side of you, you have dual weilding plasma swords, you just stick the swords into the other two guys's gut and... you get the idea
