Everyone praised the M6D Pistol for handling like a rifle yet so many hate on the Halo 2 Energy Sword for being overpowered? that's exactly how it was suppose to be, a weapon to rival the shotgun.
[i]A noble and ancient weapon, wielded by the strongest of Sangheili, requires great skill and bravery to use and inspires fear in those who face its elegant plasma blade[/i]
Couldn't stand it's incompetence in Halo Reach, I can't wait for Halo 2 Anniversary, see y'all on the battlefield!

Probably because you could whip it out and insta kill people before the sword even materialized.
