In this film I think it just makes the similarities to
Captain America: The First Avenger
even more blatant. Plus, from a character standpoint, it makes her bracelets sort of redundant.

She only uses the sword and shield in full battle as what I've surmised by the trailer. She uses the shield to defend against blasts, then uses a sword as well to cut guns apart.
Wonder Woman in the New 52 uses weapons more, as she is more bloodthirsty and also the daughter of Zeus we found out. the New 52 version is more of a classic clash of the Greek gods and lots of bloodshed, sex, and betrayal, versus the original stories where Diana uses her bracelets to block bullets, fists, and her lasso and no weapons.
