| The '''Broadsword''' is a heavy aerospace [[vehicle]] first seen in ''[[Halo 4]]''. It is a large, heavily armed space fighter that can only be piloted by one person.
| |
| | |
| ==Universe and lore==
| |
| {{Main|F-41 Broadsword}}
| |
| The F-41 Broadsword is a [[Misriah Armory]] designed [[space fighter]].<ref name="Guide">''[[Halo 4 Interactive Guide]]''</ref> It had been in production since the mid-2530s, but only gained widespread use in the late [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Book|Id=H4VG|[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]|Page=114}} It was present for the [[Battle for Tribute]],{{Ref/Map|H4|Landfall}} the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s commissioning,<ref>''[[Halo 4]]'', [[The Commissioning]]</ref> and was prominently used by [[John-117]] during the [[New Phoenix Incident]] in [[2557]].{{Ref/Level|H4|Midnight}} It would continue in service all the way to [[The Reclamation]] in [[2558]].{{Ref/Level|Id=guardians|H5G|Guardians}}
| |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| The Broadsword acts as the stereotypical, fast moving space fighter craft.
| |
| | |
| ===Counterparts===
| |
| There are a few counterparts to the Broadsword. In ''Halo: Reach'', the [[Seraph]] and [[Space Banshee]] fill very similar roles on the Covenant side, while the [[Sabre]] is analogous to the Broadsword in that game. The Sabre and Seraph are usable vehicles that operate almost the same.

| |
| ===First-person shooters===
| |
| {{Main|First-person shooter}}
| |
| The Broadsword is piloted in third-person with a unique [[Heads-up display]]. Weapon choice, amount of boost, and current shields are shown.
| |
| | |
| ====Campaign====
| |
| Similar to the Sabre in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the Broadsword was only available to use in one campaign mission in ''[[Halo 4]]'', [[Midnight]].{{Ref/Reuse|gameguide}}
| |
| | |
| ====Multiplayer====
| |
| Unusable Broadswords are background details in the ''Halo 4'' map [[Landfall]].
| |
| | |
| ====Forge====
| |
| {{Main|Forge Objects in Halo 4/Vehicles}}
| |
| When ''Halo 4'' was added to PC in [[Series 4: Reclaimer]] of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' the Broadsword was able to be used in [[Forge]] on certain maps. It can be found in the "Vehicles (MCC)" category on the maps ''[[Forge Island]]'', ''[[Erosion]]'', ''[[Ravine]]'' and ''[[Impact]]''.
| |
| | |
| ====Advantages====
| |
| *High damaging. Its weapons can destroy other vehicles and infantry quickly and effectively.
| |
| | |
| ====Disadvantages====
| |
| *The Broadsword can only accelerate. This means it cannot stop and land anywhere at any point. It is only stopped when placed in Forge or scripted campaign sequences.
| |
| | |
| ===Table-top games===
| |
| ====''Halo: Fleet Battles''====
| |
| =====UNSC Broadsword Interceptor Flight (+Sabre)=====
