Greatswords are not held in one hand.
No, but it would look awesome.
No, it'd look like something retarded out of Final Fantasy or Bleach or something, where gigantic swords are weightless.
...So? 
BAB said he's not going to do anything like that.
Right, right. Until we can change animations and be able to hold it with two hands. (Possibly.)

big swords in one hand isn't good, but knocking someone a mile away is perfectly reasonable.....riiight.

Sorry, but what are you on about? o_O
... Anyway, yeah. /signed, I suppose.
More models is a good idea, but I want a sabre too if you get the big swords

broadswords could use more models. So do a lot of other customizable weapons. So
/Signed for more to all weapons.

Have to agree with Sorudo on this (which may be a first 
). In a world where people are strong enough to punch through tank armour, the weight of a giant sword isn't necessarily going to be a factor in being able to weild it one-handed.
Balance, on the other hand...

BAB has discussed this. There is a difference between what a theoretical superstong human should be able to do, and what the sunconcious brain will accept without going "that looks wrong".
Consider Superman. He is stong enough to easily pick up and throw a car with one hand. Yet in a comic illustration, or in animation or film, he is generally shown lifting a car with both hands, hefting it onto his shoulders in a power lift, and then throwing it.
This is done to make that car look heavy to the viewer.
BAB said he is not against really big swords, but they would need new animations to stop them looking stupid, which would mean a new powerset.
I really should do something about this signature.
Nothing wrong with a greatsword powerset either 
i can just see how it would look like, just like a small kid picking up a big dog and swinging it from left to right.....cartoons are sometimes just so funny it's stupid
And the irritating thing? We already have the perfect sword length. The classic old-school broadsword was just the right length for what the set did. Now the design sucked, but the length was right.
That's what we want. Not so much giant swords (although those are cool too, I agree with BAB's logic there) but swords the length of the old BS weapon, but in the new designs.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
If anything I think broadsword has the most power customisation options. it certainly has quite a few.

Many and varied!

Wasn't i saying that? 
But for the record:
I want more customizable weapons. For every weapon! I also want those unlockable customizable weapons unlock at a reasonable challenge. <rant on>Not the kill 500 illusionist decoys for the bleeping mallet for example. Or the tommygun for a mobtype who can only be recognized by reading his info and appears in exactly 1 single spot on the server.</rant on>

Hey that one was great to get; was worth it for the gangster look. Althought the insane impracticality of it since a tommy gun also seems to fire grenades, a flamethrower and missiles. Missed that in the untouchables. :P
Either two handed swords would be nice, or hand and a half swords. Just for looks, but hey.
And yeah, this is a universe with psychics, aliens, robots, all sortsa crazy jumbo...and the 5th Column, eh Col? anyway, its a matter of opinion.

The tommygun is a great weapon and i goit it on my AR/Dev blaster. But getting it on Hero side is not a problem.
Getting it on the villian side is near impossible unles you fancy a few days hunting in nerva docks for that elusive 1 mob spawn.
would it be possible to add in more types of broadswords as in greatsword..? more like the rikti blade's size..
