Omni-weapons don't make sense in the first place . If you want omni-weapons to have omni-weapons, fine, but you better call Mass Effect a fantasy game and not sci-fi.

I am saying that omni-tools being utilized as weapons violates the science from the first game is explained only with magic.

Seriously why the hell do people suddenly think omni-tools to be lantern rings. If this thread is just for fun fine. But if people actually even slightly think that a omni-sword would be cool in game then wow...

[SandTrout]

There's no good reason to start up a second thread on a topic that is so damn similar. It just crowds the topic list.

[goofyomnivore]

Soon there's going to be nerds crying out for "Omni-plate armor".

Not advocating to the OP's ideas, but Tech Armor? lol

USMC desert MARPAT is deserty.

Ah, ok, I'm not super familiar with all of the different camo patterns.

Marines are a hue of Desert Yellow, Army is White Grey ACU (However some elements are using the New Multicamo which is Greenish).

Like he said, MARPAT, Rangers use ACU/Multicam.

Well I understand the confusion,they dont have any insignias at all.

but back to the topic,I would like some sort of omni weapon to enhance my biotic charge...

No, it makes no sense. Omni-tools are only responsive physically because of implants in the skin or armor. Even then, the force feedback is very little. There is no way you can create a weapon capable of searing through armor with omni-tool technology. Mac Walters completely ignored the entire scientific reasoning behind the omni-tools and it now has progressed to the point where people want hologrpahic weapons.

Advocating my ideas is bad?

maybe you missed it the first time, but the omni-blade is acctually polerized omni-gel with a holographic shell so you can see it.

Look up "Haptic interfaces" in the codex. Omni-tools are simply displays with a haptic interface running in the background. They can't be turned into blades, guns or whatever the else you guys want. This is why turrets and such make no sense and are impractical.

What? Where does that even come from? The shell appears out of thin air and the omni-gel (assumption) is injected from the arm piece? That's ridiculous and I am not even going to pretend like that makes sense.

It's in the game and Bioware did it. You can't argue with BioWare. Look at the FemShep fiasco.

Omni-flail.

Right, which is why I do not understand why people try to defend the point that it makes sense on here. Just because you're a fan of Bioware doesn't mean you should kiss their feet. Call them out if they are taking the series in a path that doesn't make sense and are cutting corners, this is called critiquing and helps to produce better products.

I dislike the Onmi-blade or any variation of it.

It seems like it was implemented not for gameplay purposes ( if it was,they could have had an actual blade slip out of Shepard's wrist AND then have it "Omnified" like this image shows here), but rather for the sake of looking "cool".

I personally prefer the image I linked above versus what we see in-game.

Noone cried when the Broker pulled out his omni-shield, or when we had the mysterious tech-armor, why not have an omni-volus, he can hagle for you in shops.

lol no more "This is my favorite store in the Citadel"
now its "Give me a discount or I'll buy your ass from under you."

Before you know it there'll be some conspiracy nutjobs saying that Sheperd is working for the Reapers and is being backed by Volus *read jew* money. :happy:

Meanwhile the batarians skycarbomb the citidel in protest.

[SandTrout]

Anyone have a bookmark for the developer explaination?

Dionkey,

The actual blade is a mono-molecular sheet of omni-gel held in place by mass effect fields that is manufactured on the fly by the omni-tool. The manufacturing capabilities of the Omni-tool have been established since ME1. The holographic interface is included only for the convenience of the user because the actual blade is exceptionally difficult to see due to how thin it is.

All we need is an omni-Ramirez!

Would be more beleiveable to have a hidden blade,but an omni-blade was just easier to implement.

How about the Omni-Shield/Spear Combo for Vanguard Charge.

...or, i don't know, maybe the guy who invented the omni-blade made of polerized omni-gel created a new dispersal point for it!  For all we know, nano-bots asemble the bladeincreadibly rapidly and the hologram shooting out in variouse ways is just an animation.

It's not.  See link in my sig.  

I have no problems with an omnitool creating a weapon. Certainly not something as relatively simple as a blade.  I just wish it wasn't orange and glowy.  Every time it's described as a "holographic blade" I just want to headdesk.
You don't want me concussed before the game even comes out, do you?

Off topic, but that character was hands down the best addition to any of the Hellboy movies. 

Pity that they cut his final fighting segment so short.
