The sword may be just a symbol of the change in The World. Compare all the dot hack games and the real world, the first four games show a middle aged era, this when industry wasn't invented and the earth was cleaner and in The World the old version was cleaner too because their wasn't any factories makeing chain swords. Now The World in GU is more economical their by being polluted by factories as shown in background of the picture. So simply put, the chain sword is only to show the industry age of The World.
Theres a chainsaw sword on the starting page of .Hack//G.U. End of story. This thread is dead now. No more to discuss, no hidden meaning, its just nthere to represent a weapon or as a decoration. Dead, thanks =)
It is nothing more than decoration for the menu screen I believe. Though it is always fun to speculate if there are any hidden meanings to the sword. But it is just probably nothing more than just that a sword.
