If you look at the video when the sword is picked up and pulled out it doesnt make
that iconic sound it used to.
I really hope this is a glitch or its delayed
Video here:
what do you guys think
I’m not a fan of the sounds across the board but I’ll get used to em.
It still makes a noise. But it’s quieter, more like a “Bweeum” than a “TCHSHH”

Yea, I agree with you.
Once again 343 unnecessarily changing things. The sword noise from previous halo’s was fine

They’re just putting their own stamp on things… it has to be done otherwise they’ll just get called copycats.
343i just can’t win can they? lol.

Why would they get called copycats for taking things from previous Halo’s? its a halo game after all. Taking things like killcam and ordinance drops; thats when i see them being copycats

No doubt, I’m just highlighting some peoples broken logic it’s not necessarily my view on it. I expected a lot of little changes just to distance themselves from Bungie.
i understand that they need to make it their own but if the sword has barely any
noise when drawn then why would they make it quite when it was somewhat loud before.
I can see if they made the sword have a more distinct sound but why make it quite
when that was a clear give away when someone has a sword close to you.
Now it will be harder to tell if someone has a sword or not.
Most of the sounds of the weapons annoy me. Especially the Gravity Hammer. The announcer talks too much aswell. Getting rewarded for everything is bothering me to. Still excited for the game though 
I think it’s pretty safe to say that’s a bug; from the Covenant Weapon Sounds trailer it should sound something like this (fast-forward to 1:10). I’d be really surprised if 343i had the energy sword make no sound at all when it sounded so badass in this video.

yeah that video is older though so i hope the newer one is just a bug or something.
Probably a pre final build glitch. Like the Anniversary shotgun clipping through your screen when fired. It’s probably been fixed like the anniversary shotgun.
That’s really strange if they really did remove the sword crackle. I’d like to see more instances of this though just to be sure, since it could always be a sound bug or a delay of sorts.
In fact if I had to guess, it could be a bug caused by the Dexterity Upgrade since that increases weapon swap speeds. Perhaps it swaps too fast for the sound cue to happen on time.
Edit: And as DM Charlie pointed out the sound is definitely in the covie weapons trailer, so this was almost certainly just a bug.
Yea, I hope it’s just a glitch. I bought astros to hear every sound not heard from regular speakers and they work well in Reach. When I hear someone take their sword out by cover, I back off.
I’m pretty sure it’s a bug. In the campaign footage I saw it made a sound when pulled out.

yeah that sound is important
Ive had this same problem, is it a bug or is it 343’s intention to have it like that? Other than this one thing Halo 4 is awesomeeeeeeeeeeeee
