: Take the mechanics of the Halo 2 Flying Covenant Plasma Sword, and turn it
: into a proper weapon. Heck the Knights already basically did this in Halo
: 4, except with silly warping zig-zagging.

: Give it to the player, make it take more skills and precise timing the
: greater the distance. Include Jump Lance only Slayer. New players just
: smash each other in the face with it, Pro players freaking snipe you with
: it from the edge of the map.

: Heck yeah!
