Yesterday, TeamXbox reported that Jasman Toys will be partnering with Microsoft and Bungie to create an exclusive line of Halo 3 toys. But these aren't just any ordinary toys, oh no, these are replica Covenant weapons! Jasman Toys is creating a laser tag type of game using the Halo 3 plasma rifle, plasma pistol, and energy sword. Finally, we now have a way to act out our Master Chief fantasies in the real world. And we fully understand how the plasma rifle and pistol will shoot out laser goodness, but how is the world is the energy sword going to work?

awesome. this is gonna be fun. :D
energy sword - pretty simple: beat someone over the head till they fall over...then u pull out ur gun...shoot them as much as you can until they wake up. (at which point you could be them over the head again. :P) lol

Meh, I rather just play paintball. As for the energy sword I guess we could utilize real swords in our paintball games.
/Sarcasm lol

I think MS needs to be concentrating on bringing the freakin game out and not novelty items. Im getting tired of hearing about the new Halo 3 and not being able to play it!!!!

I gonna take a guess but the sword may be used for close combat (if you can call laser tag combat) you could hit someone in the chest plate to count as a tag.

Sweet! Energy Sword! I hope it's really sharp =D I can't freaken wait for this... How much will they cost?

Energy sword could just be a foam replica that emits a signal to the sensor on the person being hit with it (and register an immediate "kill").
