In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the Energy Sword appears to have a much longer unsheathing time than in previous games, it also appears that the two blades are closer together, and the sword, overall, more closely resembles the incarnation from ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. When the sword is active, it now lights up the surrounding area, giving a much clearer indication of where the user is. Additionally, a sword lunge can be blocked by a well-timed melee.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=26366 '''Bungie.net''': ''Halo: Reach Beta Survival Guide'']</ref>

Also, the Elite character model now has a different stance when holding an Energy Sword. The Sword also appears to be a bit darker in color, and the animation for the lunge is a bit different. The sword also rests differently when unused in the Spartan and Elite character models. Plus, when an elite assassinates another player in multiplayer, one of the animations is of the elite stabbing the opponent with a mini energy blade on his wrist.
