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. | |||

==Gameplay== | |||

===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)===== | |||
*Flight slots: 1 (2) | |||
*Movement: 16" (16") | |||
*Damage track: 2 (3) | |||
*Systems loadout: None | |||
*Weapons: vs. wing targets | |||

==Production notes== | |||
The vehicle was later implemented alongside a number of [[Thorage|new items]] onto the [[Forge/Halo 4|Forge]] palettes of ''[[Forge Island]]'', ''[[Ravine]]'', ''[[Erosion]]'', and ''[[Impact]]'' for the ''Halo 4'' component of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''. | |||
