It makes em look like the crappy saber mods that people did a while back. they need to make em' glow damnit. they look gay. dont give me any excuses like: "well it's like that to speed up the game." that is a crock of shit. It would barely use any resources to add the be-love-ed glow. Other than that:(in a ghetto style accent and voice) "OHHHHHH SNAPPP, cu', that shits' flaggin' for real!" it looks awesome as hell in normal terms.

im sure they did it as a quality of game play thing, that glow is done by particle effects and just imagine it like this, its like a grenade being thrown in the dirt none stop, it would lag up. Its just best for game play/

did the glowing energy sword in the original halo with hunters shooting energy bolts, grunts screaming their ass's off, and elites throwing grenades while on a high rise bridge with a pelican blowing up next to you while snowing slow down the game? no.
The game isnt finished yet, I am guessing they will add that effect later.

The glow was nice, but it was only blue....
They got nice colors now, and you have some spakrs now and then that jump off the sword, I like it the way it is.

I think its because there are two different plasma swords:
(remember back to the SP Halo 2 video(s))
the sword did glow but it was also portable (compact that expanded)
(in new videos)
they did not expand, and they came solid.
-my little idea:
the ones the elites in the old video were temporary and the ones in multi are not.
but, if thats all wrong, i dont care, the game is still going to be good.

its just to change the game a bit. who would want the same old pistol and same old sniper in halo 2? they added the H2 essence to it. The rocket launcher has a new feature and looks slightly different + reloads faster. The sniper rifle (seen in pics) is slightly different too. why jus copy and paste? that would destroy the whole purpose of a sequel. they took out the glow and added the electric effects between the bars of the sword. It really doesnt matter in any case.

also, while we on the topic of noticing differences of halo2

a little bit since it takes up more of the view space and completely blocks the WHOLE right side of the screen now

yeah, but with the new lock on feature, i guess the fact that it takes more screen kind of balances it out a bit.

Here's a post by a bentllama (Bungie employee) on HBO:

I think that pretty much says it all.
