This is a small glitch in the grand scheme of things, but myself and some friends have noticed that the energy sword frequently (to varying degrees - about 90%+ of the time with me) does not make its “activation” sound when being switched to or picked up.
Instead, it stays silent.
I have experienced this problem with my own gamertag on multiple consoles, and have surprisingly seen it in some promotional/mainstream gamesite videos.
As I say, I know it’s a small deal, but is there any plan to patch it?
Alternatively, is there any lasting way of alleviating this issue that the community has worked out?
Small as the issue may be, I thought it worth making a thread to keep the issue in community consciousness for 343i and to reassure others who may have noticed it but stayed silent that this is not an intentional feature of the new energy sword or insanity creeping in (demonstrated by the fact that once in a blue moon the sword will activate with its typical crackling noise), but in actuality some kind of glitch.
