No, that would be pretty redundant.
Most people think that since this is the 26th century, we should be beyond that.
However, as I am a melee weapons type guy, I would love assassinations where I take a katana off my back and shove it into someones spine.
No, there shouldn’t be, as such weapons would be highly redundant. We already have the Energy Sword and Gravity Hammer for melee weapons, we don’t need any more.
Knives suffice for our needs of quick and efficient kills. The energy sword is perfect as it is and any other sword weapon would just be redundant, as Vancouva mentioned.
I also cant see a spartan holding a Promie sword too well, especially considering it disintegrates along with the rest of the body.
Yes, but for assassinations only.
Now that I think about it,
SWORDS IN ASSASSINATIONS. Think about it.
Imagine how sweet it would be if the Promethean sword just materialized out of Spartan’s arm just as he descended the killing blow on some savagely demented flood form. Awesome. Or if the spartan instead whipped out a katana he had quipped in the armor and completely bisected the combat form. Awesome.

The Human Sword just seems pointless and unnecessary; however, the Promethean Sword would make more sense.
When you assassinate a Knight, you will tear off it’s Hardlight Sword and stab it. Perhaps we could add that Hardlight Sword to Multiplayer and make it function drastically different from the Energy Sword.
The Hardlight Sword will swing 50% faster than the energy sword, but it will kill targets in 2 hits and wil have lower lunge.
However, the most diverse aspect of this weapon is a super-charge feature that will work identical to the shockwave attack that Knight Commanders use. This would disintegrate nearby targets and send the player jumping backwards. It will also strip the player’s shields and use 50% of it’s ammo.
Uh Yeah. There was one in Halo’s Early development. And they need to bring back the Katana and i want to assassinate someone with it. And they need to bring back the knives on the Armor like there was in Reach. Having the Ammo Packs and the knife on the chest plates make the armor way more bad a then in any other Halo game.
Why not? People may say it’s redundant, but it would be cool to start with one in a Campaign level, or would make for some really cool machinimas

Why? They could be made to be somewhat different, then there are benefits it would bring, such as machinimas

That was before they where going to make Halo an FPS I believe.
The Covenant have an energy sword.
UNSC has a shotty.
Prometheans have the scatter shot.
I think we are good.

Probably but it should make a return tho. Itd be cool to have a like a short little sword battle. Like for example, And Elite charges at you and goes to stab you and you pull out a sword deflect it and then stab the Elite. That would be pretty cool.
Yeah I would Love to See both, a Human and a promethean sword (: It would be awesome to See your Enemy disintegrate when you Hit him (prom sword) or when you slam your sword trough him while he kneels on the ground (Human sword assasination)…
Look (prom. Sword):
-Blue Blade
-as large as the normal prom. Knight Blade, curved upwards and with spikes on the bottom
-Colour changes to orange when you have less then 50% battery left and you do 200% damage in Orange Mode, but (insert your restriction idea here)
Look (human sword):
-like this: http://www.trueswords.com/futuristic-ninja-sword-full-tang-p-5012.html
-Blade is damaged with every hit (10hits till its useless)
-you can pick up a Second one and do 200% damage or use them seperatly
Like a machete. It would be pretty sweet.
As for them being weapons, I would have to say no to that, but I wouldn’t mind the Katana coming back as a cosmetic.
I say no and focus on other aspects/weapons. A sword would do little good against all the enemies being armored and all that jazz, unless of course we’re talking Lightsaber type sword, but then again we already have one. Plus a sword is too long just to haul around everywhere on your back when it does little good. I’d rather have a rifle etc on my back with a knife/dagger on chest like Reach.
So, no, no actual sword.
What is the point, we have the energy sword and the gravity hammer, I could maybe see a forerunner energy melee weapon of some sort but a UNSC Sword would be useless and dumb, can you imagine a super soldier from the future using a sword… it just doesn’t fit in with the theme of the UNSC.
No, the energy sword and gravity hammer are good enough. The UNSC already has a shotgun.
UNSC Lightsaber.
