I think that the sword should be disrupted when it hits the shield. Because it is a laser and it should cancel out with contact with the shield. It would also make the sword less deadly and not make it a one hit kill.

Dude, that would ruin the whole point of having the sword in there. You know what I think it should do...I think that when you hit vehicles with it, the vehicle should flip.

The... sword is a "laser" ? I think not.

What I think the Sword should do is cut through just about everything except for the Jackal's shields. I'd love it if it could parry both other swords and plasma bolts since they're derived from the same technology.

Still, that last one letting you parry plasma blasts would probably make the weapon unbalanced so I could definitely do without. I would love to sword fight, really parry, parry, slash, parry, lunge with an Elite in campaign mode.

I think the sword should cut through EVERYTHING, because then enimies would face you and you could just slice e'm to bits.

that's the whole problem here! if you can't attack at range, and have defense, using the sword keeps you at a huge disadvantage! if you can't even do much damage at close range, then what is the point? by the time you are discovered the other guy should be dead, not have enough health left to gun you while backing away as you can't even use your sword!

I think it would also be cool if you could easily cut through rock and such. imaging being on a platform above someone and cutting part of a boulder to fall onto an enemy warthog! WOOT

Maybe you will die a different way if get killed by the plasma sword.

THE SWORD IS NOT A LAZER! its plasma, and plasma canceles out the shield (the plasma gun)

IDEA: that would be cool if you could deflect bullets with the sword! not like ninja style, but like you can like swing it around and all bullets that hit it deflect back (but some make it thru) OR maybe just plasma pistol/rifle shots since there slow.
