lol apparently the UNSC weapons are to real looking for them to be release with the other. i also have no idea how the e-sword will work in 2k8.

give me your opinion of this.

This was announced like 3 months ago.

I couldn't care less about it. No way I would ever begin to consider paying upwards of $150 for these.

energy sword fight anyone?

Um... Last I checked, energy swords don't fire projectiles.

Anyways, the guns look really cool; not something I'd pay for, though.

There is going to be an Energy Sword laser tag thing.

How would that work. I dont want to loose a third eye.

Well, they havent really revealed anything. I've been rather perplexed myself.

lol now i know how the esword work. you stab the guy and if he bleeds he's out =P lol i wnat the esword so bad why does it have to be next year?

lolol It would be tag, but with a 3 foot long advantage.

wow this rapes i always loved laser tag and always loved halo
RL tag+ Halo= PWN FTW

I think Halo airsoft/paintball would be much more fun.

If they made it function like an actual Energy Sword fight, that would be pretty cool. But if it has like a trigger and you fire from a distance, that would be really lame.

The can claim it's horrible, ridiculous-distance lunge like in Halo 2. =x

And now the Whoring of halo 3 starts... Goodness whats next?

I don't know... I think it's horrible how Bungie is marketing all this crap for Halo 3. I buy the game because I enjoy the gameplay and the story. I don't need all these little toys on my shelves because I enjoy the game.
I'm not going to drink a different flavored soda with a Halo 3 logo on it because I like the Halo series, I'm not going to buy toy models of the guns, action figures, or go out and play Halo 3 laser tag because I enjoy the game. They're milking out the greatness of Halo.

You won't, but somebody will. They're going to be making money off of it, and their real fans aren't going to leave just because they flood the market with products. In addition, you can rest assured knowing it isn't Bungie directly doing it, Microsoft is behind these marketing schemes.

Oh yeah... I didn't think of that.

This is kinda pitiful, its really going to give fanboys of other games something to laugh at. If it was like the lasertag with those arenas like the "Laser Quest" places that would have been cool.

But they are making freaking Laser Tag toys. Those replica covenant weapons alone would have been better, given it didn't have any "pew pew" or simulated sounds, just have it be like a collector's item or something.

I don't want to lose a third nipple.

When do these things come out?

Edit: NVM....

Q: Where and when can we buy these things?

A: The Covenant Plasma Rifle and Pistol will be available at your local Hot Topics and other fine retailers starting October 2007. The Covenant Energy Sword will be available sometime in 2008.

October is my experimental Psychosis Therapy.... O good gravy...I think I
