Energy Sword/Prophets Bane Lunge Animation

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

It seems extremely lackluster in Halo 5 Guardians. I’m being really nit picky of course but I’ve always seen the energy sword as probably the most iconic weapon in Halo. After watching gameplay and playing the beta with the Prophets Bane, I just think the first person animation is horrible. I perhaps thought they would change it after the beta but wasn’t expecting much. The sword barely moves on the screen when you go in for the lunge and it looks like you don’t even swing the thing at all for that matter. It just seems off every time I see it being used. I expected a full blown lunge up over the shoulder in all of its badassery. Oh well…

It doesn’t change gameplay mechanics at all either way but I just think they could of put more effort into it. Thoughts?

People just seem to complain about everything. What is next, someone complaining about the reload animation of the assault rifle?

I think the sword lunge is fine, it looks very similar to what it was in the previous games and works fine with Halo 5.

I just can’t stand the walking animation this time round, it HAS to be like the classic Halo 2 animation, changing this is just a pointless addition to Halo, ruining what was once great.

It’s different?

This isn’t a big deal. Just get over it and be happy the sword is making a return as it always has.
