Sangheili (Elites) In New Trilogy Matchmaking (Part 1)

> I want to dual wield swords and have sword battles back from Halo 3 instead of taking damage every time you clash swords, usually both end up dead since Reach.

AvP style? Aesthetically it’s cool but gameplay wise, its useless ( unless you can throw one of them like a hammer bro. from Mario ^.^), no offense

I would love dual wielding swords! Perhaps you could also dual wield a sword and a plasma rifle.

Perhaps the Storm could have a longer range but slower fire rate and the repeater could have shorter range but faster fire rate. Halo needs a little more diversity weapon wise even if weapons function the same but look different.

Duel weilding swords is cool, but I don’t think we need to, the swords powerful enough as it is because of 5 words.

one swing, boom your dead.

This I could see as cool but it would also become EXTREMELY OP. :slight_smile:

I 2nd that.

Hmm perhaps make it where all you get is a sword and plasma rifle and that is all no secondary.

I know this’ll probably be quite controversial, but since this seems to be the way things are going, but when (dreaded) attachments are inevitably released, perhaps an Energy Dagger-type add-on to weaponry? Boosting melee damage? It would relieve some balance issues with Dual wielding an Energy Sword, and still have some of that “coolness” about it.

Though I guess nothing can compare with this amount of awesome. :stuck_out_tongue:

Just disable it in Matchmaking. I don’t care how overpowered an idea like that might be, it’s awesome and I want it.

None taken. I was thinking that it there would be an option to change its use type. So one would be being able to use both at the same time. Another would be that you can’t use it, but if you run out of your first sword you just switch to the second. Last it could just be an aesthetic choice that when you pick a sword up a second pops up but disappears when you run out of sword energy. Someone else mentioned picking up another weapon along with a sword. I personally wouldn’t think it would be overpowered if they did something like this. Accuracy with the gun is affected by dual wielding, the faster you move the more your accuracy gets worse. It would basically be bloom, restricted to dual wielding.

we should bring back the mark of shame, maybe it will be changed as a symbol for the arbiter.

The Mark of Shame wasn’t always what it really was. It was rather the mark of some high loyalty and respect and such before the prophets decided to change it after a certain incident…

Dual wielding swords could also be its special thing like the hammer’s shock wave. The swords could be used at the same time or if you miss the first lunge you could quickly follow up with the other sword.

Bring the skins on weapons from Halo 4 over to 5…Get a skin for the sword were it can be gold or black energy. Even a red sword would be sweet. Haha I love REX.

Just Make sure the colors are not Rainbow. The last time we had those were from Scarabs that also had bubbles coming out of their Rainbow beams on Halo wars…

Dual Wielding Swords sounds fun for a Arbiter Campaign exclusive. In MP, it would be horrible. In Campaign, it would be badass. Only want the Arbiter to do it cause…well…he is the Arbiter.

Yeah I know “The Duel” was where that incident took place. but they may have changed it back now.

after all what would be the best way to give the old Covenant the bird?.

1: Wearing Green in a new faction that specialises in helping the UNSC.

2: changeign the mark of shame back to it’s original glory.

anyone else have an Idea how Thel’s Elties can take on these aggrivating baddies?.

The mark of shame would actually be a pretty cool symbol for thel’s forces.

indeed.that would would work well.

Giving different looks to the mark of shame could be used to help differentiate among ranks within Thel’s Elites.
