In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' the Energy Sword, has a cyan glow, has a far less defined edge and makes a dull clunk when striking something or someone. It is only used by [[Stealth Elites]] and [[Zealots]]. The player cannot use the energy sword in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', because once a Zealot is defeated, the fail-safe on the energy sword will activate and disintegrate via the plasma of the former blade collapsing onto the handle, thus rendering the weapon useless, since it is broken, and has no prompt for "pick-up".

In ''Halo 2'', the energy sword is blue with purple undertones and electrical energy crackling on it when the blade is activated, the white glow seen in ''Halo: CE'' is also replaced with a more glass like transparency. In the campaign, it is only used by higher-ranking Elites, such as [[Special Operations Elites|Spec-ops]], [[Ultra Elites|Ultras]] and Zealots, however the sword can now be used by [[John-117]], and is often a starter weapon for the [[Arbiter]]. The sword in campaign has a battery and can only be used against a limited number of Covenant forces before the battery dies. When the Energy Sword runs out of energy, it can still be used to attack your enemies. The damage is then equal to a regular melee attack and will take a longer time to kill, unless the player assassinates their enemy.

The sword is usable in Multiplayer but with an infinite battery, like in campaign the sword has two major attacks, a lunge attack and a swing attack, the lunge attack is very powerful and can send the player flying towards an enemy if the reticule is red.
