*Using [[Active Camouflage]] with the sword in ''Halo 2'' is not a wise thing to do as the sword in ''Halo 2'' is still visible with it active. In ''Halo 3'' however, using the sword with active camouflage is a sound tactic as it will now cover the sword when picked up. | *Using [[Active Camouflage]] with the sword in ''Halo 2'' is not a wise thing to do as the sword in ''Halo 2'' is still visible with it active.

*In ''Halo 3'' the sword lunge is shorter, and the player cannot perform a quick strike. In addition, the sword's handle is now visible on the character's leg. In order for the sword to be most effective the player must lure a player into a trap where the sword will become effective; camping with the sword in a corner and waiting is the best way to use it to its fullest extent. As a special note, there is a range difference between the B button melee, and the right trigger lunge. The lunge has the maximum range, whilst the B button seems to only work at 1/2 to 3/4 the range. This is, most likely, for balancing, as the B button swings the sword at a much, much faster rate. | *In ''Halo 3'' the sword lunge is shorter, and the player cannot perform a quick strike.
