In the remastered graphics of the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' and the ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' campaign, the in-game model of the ''Pelosus''-pattern energy sword was replaced by [[Unidentified energy sword pattern|the energy sword]] from ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. However, the remastered ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' cinematics still depicted the ''Pelosus''-pattern energy sword. | |||
