Talk:Energy sword (fiction)

Since Energy Sword & Plasma Sword has the same info & characteristics, do you think we should combined them together?
 * Yes, definitely. I vote for Energy Sword as the target page because it's the more recent name. --Dragonclaws 05:57, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. I never hear anybody call it a "plasma sword"--Jsb 18:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

REally? I hear people call it a plasma sword all the time, but I always correct them! --JohnSpartan117 14:23, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

If it was a -plasma sword, it would melt the enemy.So, it MUST be called energy sword(in halo 2) because it is controlable enough to be in a magnetic field and sharp.In Halo 1, it is obviusly, its different version:the PLASMA sword(because it glows VERY MUCH).--Spartan-007 10:06, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

The energy sword wouldn't have to be sharp seeing that it is made of plasma energy it could just burn through things. It just the heat is contained by the magnetic field thats why things don't melt--Irving 17:20, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

energy sword
sence it is made of plasma, it should be the plasma sword.--Darth nexes 00:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Since the AR is made metal, should it be called the metal gun? Also, the Energy Sword isn't made of plasma, it's a handle made of who knows what, with plasma coming out of it.

I don't know why people say the energy sword is different from the plasma sword, if you notice plasma IS energy. Take a look at wikipedia.com, and why has the nickname for the energy sword been changed to "The Noob Stick" on th main page?

Hey, should you be able to dual-weild swords in H3, just because the elite in the brute ViDoc was dual-weilding swords and it would suck if the AI was able to do it and you weren't...

deflection
Okay my friend and I were talking (arguing) about whether it is possible for a Plasma/Energy sword to deflect incoming shots. Yes, this is a reference to the lightsaber and yes I know you can't do it in the game...yet. I mean, in theory, the plasma sword is made out of a material similar to a Jackal shield and that can deflect conventional weapon bullets. So shouldn't the sword a least be able to deflect plasma shots and/or bullets.

I don't think the Jackal shield is made out of plasma; instead, it's some kind of energy field that can deflect things, because otherwise the Jackal would melt or something, because superheated plasma is, as the name suggests, really hot. So no, it shouldn't be able to deflect anything, but it should be able to melt bullets that come near enough to it. 24.251.125.185 03:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The plasma is heald by macnectic colles, that when the handle is prested the sword releases plasma, the plasma is then heald and shaped into a longe tryangle with a split center. That is why when you kill an elite in halo 1 the sword colls stop and it permantly kills the weapon.-- Admiral Sozai Nexes  [[Image:.jpg|15 px]] FLEETCOMM  17:06, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

In the new Halo3 trailer released on dec 20 it shows an elite killing a brute on the ground with dual energy swords.This elite is seemingly the arbiter.user:shubi.s

Well, you can asume it would be the Arbiter, but I have a distinct feeling it is not the Arbiter--Master Chief Petty Officer 13:01, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Brutes?
Where do we see Tartarus using an energy sword?  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  02:35, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Who told you this bull s###!?


 * We don't...but a Chieftain uses it in Et tu Brute --Gzalzi 07:43, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

It was said that Brutes are able to wield energy sword in Halo 3Master Chief Petty Officer 05:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Rewording?
The energy sword is not "completely" useless against Hunters. It is, by itself, useless, but not completely. An example of this is in co-op mode, on the lower difficulties. After killing one Hunter through various means, my friend would back a Hunter against a wall and begin slashing wildly while I flank the Hunter and fire at his weak spot on the back. As it is useless by itself, it is quite useful as a diversion. I suggest rewording it or a note about the usefulness of this tactic. Thanks. 208.68.253.134 03:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

That's a tactic, the energy sword is nearly useless against it. If you are fighting at an open area with a Hunter, a bet you're not gonna get luckyMaster Chief Petty Officer 13:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Cultural significance?
i've read this page and hev noticed there is not much about the role the energy sword plays in the covenant socierty should a section be added? User:Kami-Sama
 * No. We know nothing about that, except that only the highest-ranking elites carry them. -The Dark Lord Azathoth 20:33, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * A conjecture thing could be put in? as long as there is considerable evidence to back up the claim.--Spartan 1138 21:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
