Casey Hudson said in the Fan Q&A that the omniblade was for all classes, and that other classes would also get unique melee weapons of their own.

hmm if thats true then i'm guessing that there will be a few infiltrators using the omni-blade + tactical cloak combo which is the combo i can't stop thinking about possible cause the idea of that combo is just so double rainbow awesome

Need to stab someone? There's an ap for that.

I wonder if Shepard gets to decide which sound effects play when it's being used. Or is it like digital cameras nowadays, and they're locked into making a shutter sound to prevent upskirts and such. Can you get Tali to change the sound effect or remove it? Or if you're an engineer, can you do it yourself? ;-)

I like the omni-blade. I guess it uses mass effect fields to pull space apart slightly.

This one I'll just wait and see when I play ME3.
I think it could come in handy and as someone mentioned its faster than pulling out a real blade. I did not punch out too many characters in previous games, I'd rather they be dead before they can reach me, but there is always one who gets too close.

Now this would be pretty good.  I only played inflitrator once and this might make me play it more often.

Why does it have to be a fancy light saber reminiscient thing? I'm sure in a few hundred years a sharp piece of metal will cut just as effectively as it does today.

oh, omni blade?
Sounds cool, but posts seem to suggest it looks rubbish =(

Omni blades should look like the swords of the headless monks in doctor who. Minus the attack prayers.

How to make it better? Quite easy.

Make it look like a solid object, not a hologram.

i really hate having to explaining this,
but like the omni-tool itself the blade is formed by the minifacturing system creating
and shaping the blade for use, and then disassambling it
when not in use. and the reason it's the same case with weapons
is that weapons are elaborate machanisms you can't replicate out of thin air
(the reapers probably can, and in 30 years so could the rest of the galaxy, but not in ME3)

I'm confused: are you giving a rebuttal to Iakus' post, or are you adding to it?

rebuttling. holograms don't interact as solid objects such as blades.
therefore, omni-blades,as their name suggests, are not holograms.
the rest of the explanation i already gave,

Then you're an idiot. His post does not contradict the concept that you outlined in your so-called rebuttal.

What he's saying is if the Omni-Blade is, in fact, an actual blade that is made via the minifacturing function of the Omni-Tool then make it look seperate from the Omni-Tool.

you just used my data to make your case while calling me an idiot.
make up your mind. then keep it to yourself.

but just for the guys actually listening, the omni-blade is based on the same extension as the omni-shield.
ring any bells?

Yes, I called you an idiot for making a rebuttal to a post that didn't contradict the idea that you outlined.

English isn't your native language, is it?

you're really clinging to it. nothing better to do? ok.
i DID contradict his idea because the omni-blade can only look SO MUCH solid before it looks like
shepard summoned a blade out of thin air, which it isn't. it's not a hologram, and the fact it cleaves
thru dense armor-plate is evidence ENOUGH. or the fact it has reflective surfaces which in high-energy physics
can ONLY exist on SOLID, REFLECTIVE matter, because holograms are not solid, they don't reflect light as well
as solid matter (just a small fraction, the rest they project).

therefore, making the omni-blade look more solid is no more then an aesthetic choice, and not a very good one
at that, since the whole idea is to give it ethereal quality- like the omni-tool, like the rest of mass effect- inspired
tech. don't like it? fine. but don't ruin it to make it more "believable", from your prespective.

I think you're responding to the wrong post, as your response doesn't correlate with the post to which you responded.

[darklordpocky-san]

I wanna see the Vanguard use their charge ability in conjunction with their new melee skills

[00_Gundam]

So far the soldier class omni blade is really nice and I'm really looking forward to seeing the other 'heavy attack' of the other classes

[Sailears]

I like it as well.

Ok initial reaction was "it's a little weird and doesn't make sense", but after a little thought it's actually one of the more suitable alternatives for say, a futuristic combat knife.

[Marvin the Paranoid Android]

 Shepard should duel wield psi omni blades









Thats odd cant post images sad face ((

the Vangaurd should get a Biotic Football Helmet so i can headbutt right after the charge.

I gotta say, I thought the "Omni-blade" shown in the E3 trailer was rather stupid and breaks the lore/my immersion in an even more apparent and obvious way than the tech armor and such from ME2.

Omni-tools are holograms. It says as much in the codex description. And at no point in all of ME1 were they depicted as anything other than holographic displays. Then along came ME2 with it's tech armor (and later the Shadow Broker's tech shield) which always left me wondering exactly how a hologram was able to block bullets. Not to mention that ME2 added crap like Reave, which makes no goddam sense whatsoever.

Now ME3 is adding even more nonsensical and lore-defying "Rule of Cool" crap. I'm disappointed but I can't say I'm really surprised. Why couldn't it just be a regular blade?

[Platform626]

It's okay. But since my Shep is an Infiltrator it'll feel like I'm playing Assassin's Creed all over again.

[FERMi27]

Seen Optimus Prime's omni-blade. Nice! Wouldn't that be a hint that we'll have some giant sentient robots on our side? Hmmm, let me think what giant sentient robots we have in Mass Effect... Geth Colossus?
Well, at least now I know why that "groundbase" Reaper from the E3 demo didn't fry Shepard with his FTL laser. Because he wanted to talk!!!

[Mallissin]

The Omni-blade is made of Omni-gel.

Hey! Just said it will look better then a lightsabre.

You seem to like griping about every little neat sci-fi addition they decide to add while conveniently ignoring the obvious. You're playing a sci-fi game that by and large is stretching much of what we know of physics, space travel, etc. We can jump across the universe via giant mass effect gates, we pilot a stealth ship that FALLS into it's own engine output to travel. Oh lord a holographic projection can't possibly be augmented to become a physical blade or a kinetic barrier right?

If you disbelieve and have issues with the Omni-blade, I am amazed you've managed to stay involved with Mass Effect since the beginning. It's a sci-fi game, with liberties taken for the sake of entertainment, story telling and making for FUN gameplay. Picture perfect explanations be damned, becuse if we hold to that rule, ME would be a much more boring game since we couldn't explain half of the tech and occurences we see in the game and the lore generated for it is...fictional.

Frankly it's far easier to imagine the sci-fi tech behind a soldier's armor using it's omni-tool interface to project a blade of kinetic/mass effect energy for CQC kills then thinking about how a giant gate grabs a ship and flings it across the galaxy at FTL speeds - it's both plot and lore magic for the sake of empowering the game.

To summarize: Omni-Gel.

[Crackseed]

Right! Omnigel was probably one of the most ludicrously funny examples of bizarre ME lore and sci-fi tech ever! xD

[EvilCow090]

It's a neat idea and all, and from the sound of the audience when they saw the OMNI-BLADE, I'm guessing, they were just fascinated by what it looked like, or what they were seeing. They (still guessing here) were not thinking about how it would go into the game. Like, a lightsaber, they were just fascinated by what they were looking at.

However, I propose more animation to it. Such as, charging with it, like the new gun from GoW3... and some other stuff.

All and all, It is a very neat Idea, but it could be much improved and modified.
