Thanks to Mr Snorkel's post we see a sword being used by a titan. (post no longer available)
But just how will these swords be used and how many varieties of them are there? Will they just be pick ups for a limited use or will they be part of our inventory, ammo or no ammo, to be used when ever we want.
Will they also be third person or first person, who knows, but bungie will surprise us. Its just time to see what the community thinks and where they place their votes.

I personally enjoyed the sword combat in the moon mission. It felt polished and comfortable even though it was OP. I think that if a sword gets implemented and is available for guardians to use anytime, It should be an exotic heavy. Even then it would be way overused if it didn't have some sort of 'ammo' or limit to its use. Perhaps heavy ammo pick ups could be used as a energy source for some sort of "Light Sword." After all, we are fighting the darkness and what better way to fight than with a giant, cool looking, glow stick! The comment by leighmurBJJ said swords don't have a place in Sci-fi, this person clearly has never heard of Star Wars... just saying. As far as first / third person perspective, I'm sure a simple toggle could be added to the options tab regarding this. I found that the third person perspective (again in the moon mission) didn't hinder the gameplay at all. I for one, am looking forward to seeing if Bungie has anymore sword themed surprises up their proverbial sleeve.
