*The sword is easily one of the best close range weapons to use in ''Halo 2''. The best tactic is to lay into an enemy player with your secondary weapon getting closer, then when within range perform a quick swipe with the sword for the finishing move. However since there is no way of telling which player has the sword, or no sound way to stop it, it has often been labeled as a cheap tactic. | *The sword is easily one of the best close range weapons to use in ''Halo 2''.

*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. | *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. | ||
*In ''Halo 3'' the sword lunge is shorter, and the player cannot perform a quick strike, and in addition, the sword 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, and in addition, the sword is now visible on the character's leg.
