Its such an iconic weapon in the Halo franchise, and it would make an already incredible game even better! Unfortunately I don’t see it happening, since they based all the code off of the original game…
Man, I totally forgot about how you couldn’t use the sword or fuel rod gun. Oh well, they would have been cool, but meh.
They decided to stick to the original gameplay, so no sword, wraith, fuel rod gun or vehicle hijacking…
Think about it, they would have to make the sword usable in the Classic mode as well and they couldn’t know how would it change the gameplay.
And it could break slightly canon, since in the books it’s stated they were used to config the swords to be self-destroyed when the user was killed so no human could pick them up.

That was retconned as soon as Halo 2 came out.
To me its a good thing. people fell in love with the original sword or no sword. it would be basically saying the original could have been better with core mechanics when in truth i think its done better than any other halo game.

In Halo 2 wasn’t stated that every last Elite in the Halo Universe didn’t had the option to make the sword self-destruct and it hasn’t been removed in the new 2010-2011 books edition, so I don’t consider it retconned.
Go to 8:45. ;D
Or just watch the whole thing. It’s awesome and has lots of interesting differences, including Cheifs cyborg voice.
Meh, The sword wouldn’t be that fun in Halo CEA. Plus, Halo CE’s engine doesn’t have the right coding for the sword to be used by the player, unless it had no lunge, but then every sword wielding noob would cry, cause they can’t lunge at an elite.
I say, leave the Halo CE sword the way it is, the sword would make the campaign easier than it was back when Halo CE was first released, and that’s not what they’re going for.
Wait for Halo 2 Anniversary. Then you can pick up that overpowered monster.
No! No changing gameplay! Throws toys
