Contrary to ''Halo: Reach'', ''Halo 4'' does not feature the possibility to block a sword lunge with a simple melee. Killing an opponent with an energy sword no longer rewards the player with a [[Bone Cracker|Pummel]] medal, it is instead replaced by the [[Sword Kill]] medal. The battery is also drained with every hit, so it's far less viable against Hunters and other powerful enemies.

Like the original ''Halo 2'', players cannot parry with the sword. An alternate version of the sword with a red-colored blade, called the ''Infected Energy Sword'', can be used.

The ''Halo 5: Guardians'' sword retains the ability to parry from ''Halo 4''. Unlike in past titles players are able to aim with the sword to increase its effective range. Three unique versions of the energy sword are available for use: ''Ravening Silver'', ''Vopal Talon'', and the [[Mythic weapon|mythic]] ''Prophets' Bane''.
