![Izil](https://us.v-cdn.net/6030144/uploads/userpics/L9RWIHOQ3O58/nV2NZ3ZBO1H46.png)
First of all i wanted to say its probably threads about weapon ideas already, but i didnt find any so please forgive me.
Not sure if devs planned glaive looking weps to be included in spear category or spear cosmetic, but as so many people love glaives its great content for the game and yet a fine distinction from spear and halberd. Some ideas:

But i would really appreciate it if they had spear skins like a glaive.
(If they had a glaive weapon type, then I would be hard pressed not to switch to it from my helbard bae)
Since weapons are all going to have an AOE size and shape based on type, along with different passives to spec into you do biring up an interesting idea.
A sword slashes with better reach than an ax, but a rapier thrusts and stabs.
A halberd was a two handed slashing thrusting weapon with great reach. Spears could be thrown, a thrusting weapon when used with a shield, or handled like a quarter staff with both hands but with a stabby point. I suppose a glaive could land somewhere between the two. Similar to a quarter staff but with slightly better reach and slashing damage.

Halbers were more of a stationary piercing and crushing damage.
Glaives are more of slashing weapons for aoe damage.

Halberds are basically the polearm category.
They even had a Trident design under polearms.
You differentiate between Spears and halberds/Polearms in Ashes, because spears are more single target oriented in their attack arcs, while Polearms/Halberds have more sweeping attacks.
(Thats how it was in APOC at least)
Steven already confirmed that one handed spears are a thing. Find a glaive skin for spears and go in like a true spartan!
