The Shortsword is only ever seen during gameplay briefly, where it can be seen flying over the battlefield dropping ordnance wherever the player chooses. The use of the Shortsword differs depending on which leader character the player uses. [[Ellen Anders|Professor Ellen Anders]] uses it to drop [[GBU-1105 bomb|cryo bomb]]s, a simple point-and-click power which can be used to effectively freeze a large area of the battlefield, as well as the units or buildings in it. [[John Forge|Sergeant John Forge]] uses it to perform [[carpet bombing]] runs, where the beginning of the bombing run must be selected, an arrow appears and can be rotated around the start point, setting the angle of the bombing run. Carpet bombing runs are useful for hitting a number of enemies in different formations. All UNSC leaders can call on a Shortsword to deliver [[XGBU-302 bomb|disruption bomb]]s which can be used to block enemy [[Halo Wars#Leader abilities|leader powers]]. | The Shortsword is only ever seen during gameplay briefly, where it can be seen flying over the battlefield dropping ordnance wherever the player chooses.
