In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the energy sword appears to be much more reliable and efficient than in previous games, having a slightly faster swing than its ''Halo 3'' incarnation. 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> | In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the energy sword appears to be much more reliable and efficient than in previous games, having a slightly faster swing than its ''Halo 3'' incarnation.

Also, the Sangheili 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 rests differently when unused on the Spartan and Elite character models. The energy sword also has its own assassination animations, which are used in place of the SPARTAN combat knife and the Elite wrist blade.{ | Also, the Sangheili character model now has a different stance when holding an energy sword.
