Sword Obstructs View

i like using it. New look is cool just too much of it in my view plus the glow really gives my eyes a workout

Maybe this is to balance the one hit kill and lunge. Sword has always been a beast in halo.

It’s to balance the fact that you get a speed boost.

true. But still, my eyes burn lol

and why is it called ‘prophets bane’ lol

Yeah, the glow kind of hurts my eyes too and I seriously doubt that causing physical discomfort/pain to the player was an intentional design choice made by the creators to balance the weapon. That’s ludicrous.

This is because it’s the sword The Arbiter uses to kill the Prophet of Truth.

I think the amount of space it takes up on screen is fine. However, I agree that the glare is too much. You have a visor that can allow you to look directly at a star from really close, how does it not work with the sword?

I think this intentional. If you know how to use it and are lucky the sword can give you a ridiculous amount of kills, so obstructing the view is a good way to balance it.

it’s a bit too bright yes, and no that isn’t a reasonable way to balance it out lol

I think it makes it balanced because the Halo 5 sword mixed with trhuster and sprint is easily the most beast sword of any Halo game

They can easily find other ways to balance it without making it annoying to look at.

Not just the sword…It’s the arena and the lighting and distracting textures that could only be viewed properly in a 4K monitor…Forget seeing this on a plasma screen…you’ll get lost in the background of colors and textures that abound everywhere on the two maps we have as of yet…!
