    I’m still waiting for a Halo level that requires us to use the energy sword as our only source of light.
  • @jinko17bro
    You forgot the assassination animation that's unique to the energy swords which were started since reach

    Shotgun = It's over energy sword, I have the high ground Energy sword = You underestimate my power Shotgun = Don't try it

    I've seen Avengers Endgame, and I can confirm that Arbiter impales Thanos with the Energy Sword from behind, then screams violently while Chief watches on semi-awkwardly.

    Someone needs to mod the warthog horn to make the elite laugh. Then it will be the Wort-Hog.

    Energy Sword = one of the best melee weapons in gaming.
  • @lowercasej23
    imagine being the one guy that held the energy sword the wrong way round when activating it
  • Energy sword was shown in halo ce was not useable but was there

    In Halo CE I thought the sword was big key. Mind you, I was 5 and played on easy. On Truth and Reconciliation when I went up the grav lift into the ship, all the doors were locked. Then the invisible elite with the "key" came out of the locked door and hit marines and me making a blunt clunking sound as a giant key would make when bashing skulls. And in Silent Cartographer, yellow elite with the "key" locks the door when you approach. So, until I played Halo 2 I just thought it was a big glowing key. Bad graphics and the sword disappearing as soon as I killed the wielder made it impossible for me to piece together that it was a sword.

    Honestly, my favorite visual iteration of the energy sword was the original, in Halo: Combat Evolved. I really liked the way it 'bled' energy, plasma just evaporating off of the blade, giving it an almost gaseous appearance. No subsequent game has ever really recaptured that appearance for me. It's a shame it wasn't player-usable in CE.

    The gaps in the Halo 4 sword is for disarming enemy players, if you're in a standoff they would jab the enemys weapon into the gap, and then fling the weapon out of their hands. its a clever detail, found in real life swords.

    I was not expecting that Star Wars meme. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
  • @zackshannon834
    Easily Halo 2. Using it to get outside the maps is still one of my favorite memories. Needler!!!
  • @cheesyminer
    Halo 2 mainly because it turns you into a punching maniac when it runs out of ammo.

    It is an honor to be in one of your videos Mr. LateNightGamer. Ty for making this video and showing the evolution of me and my fellow Energy Swords. :)
  • Whenever I heard that Halo 2 sword sound, it just brought back a lock of good memories
