Best Energy Sword?

Which Halo game do you think had the best energy sword and why? Feel free to include Halo: Reach and Halo 4 in this. I liked Halo 2’s animation of the sword the most, Halo 3’s sword-to-sword gameplay the most, and I think Reach’s had the nicest looking sword.

Best as in like appearance, gameplay mechanics, or best in overall dominance? LIke Halo 2 was really overpowered so it would be absolutely dominating and I agree Halo 2 also had the best animations with the sword particularly with the elites having 3 different animations for pulling one out. Halo 3 had the best balanced gameplay though with the sword clashes. I didn’t like that any weapon could clash on Reach with a sword.

Halo 2’s in all aspects.

H2 sword is a beast thats all I want to say

pretty much the Halo 2 sword. Its just overall good and its the one that i liked to use. I think it might be for it fitted on the Arbiter missions better though in multiplayer i really cant decide, every one of the classic swords did their job.

I think it is the Halo 3 energy sword, it use to have two mades, and depending of one it drained the battery in different enemies and ways.

I really like the Halo 2 and H2 Anniversary energy sword.

Halo 2 Anniversary is the best Energy Sword in all the Halo games in terms of aesthetics, sound, OPness, and the fact that it had unlimited energy in MP.

Halo 2 for it’s insane lunge distance
Halo 3 for it’s upgraded design

Halo 2 had the best energy sword.

I’m pretty sure they made it have a battery in H2A in multiplayer (not campaign, obviously.)

Yeah, but not in the original.

Okay, then you were wrong in your original post. :stuck_out_tongue: Not that it really matters, I still think it’s one of my favorites too.

Crap your right right.

Halo 2’s energy sword was an absolute beast - favourite sword by far.

I do have a soft spot for the classic glowing ‘foamy’ energy sword design in CE though…
