*One can see by the shape of the hilt that the Energy Sword was meant to be an Elite exclusive weapon. Its odd central protrusion is perfect for the two central fingers to grab on to, while the back fingers support them from behind. It is certainly not meant to be wielded by humans, as SPARTAN-IIs hold it in an uncomfortable-looking way; the main four fingers separate between the middle and ring fingers to accommodate for the central protrusion (two on each side) while the thumb acts as the only support from behind. Nevertheless, Spartans wield it just as effectively as any Elite. | *One can see by the shape of the hilt that the Energy Sword was meant to be an Elite exclusive weapon.

*In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', Sangheili armor now has a built-in miniature Energy Sword used to assassinate (serving as an equivalent to the [[Combat Knife|UNSC Combat Knife]] utilized by Spartans in assassinations). Its appearance is nearly identical to that of the original Energy Sword. The only differences are that the blade is shorter and extends from the top of the wrist rather than from a handle. | *In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', Sangheili armor now has a built-in miniature Energy Sword used to assassinate (serving as an equivalent to the [[Combat Knife|UNSC Combat Knife]] utilized by Spartans in assassinations).

*When it spawns in most multiplayer maps, rather than lying on the ground, it will be floating in mid-air blades pointing up until it is hit by any damage or grabbed by a player. One exception is the Halo 2 Vista exclusive map, Uplift, where it respawns lying down. | *When it spawns in most multiplayer maps, rather than lying on the ground, it will be floating in mid-air blades pointing up until it is hit by any damage or grabbed by a player.
