Swordsmith Brings Halo Energy Sword To Life
Blacksmith Tony Swatton in his Youtube series “Man at Arms” routinely forges video game weapons as requested by fans. He's forged assassin wristblades, Cloud's Buster Sword, and the blade of evil's bane, the Master Sword. Now he has created an often requested weapon that has struck fear into the heart of many a gamer in Halo multiplayer – the energy sword.
Even though in-game the sword is made of energy, it still looks mighty dangerous in steel form. And unlike Master Chief, the weapon testers have to hold this bad boy with two hands. Check out the creation of the weapon and see the sword in action in the video below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
