With Halo 3 comes an array of new weapons to try out, but with new one came upgraded versions of beloved weapons found in previous Halo installments – the Energy Sword is one of them.

There are a lot of weapons available when playing Halo 3. The weapons are placed in 4 categories and they are: Human, Covenant, Brute and a few uncategorized ones. Knowledge of these weapons is important so that you have an edge over your opponents.

Human Weapons found on Halo are pretty much just an improvement on the weapons that exist today, save for a few exceptions.

Some critics say that the Human Weapons in Halo lack creativity, because it seems hard to believe that after half a millennia, humans are still carrying around projectile riffles and bombs. No matter what your stand on Bungie’s weaponry design, the important thing is to familiarize yourself with them and make the most of what is afforded to you. Human Weapons work better on unshielded opponents. They are less effective when used to take down shields. Below is a list of the Human Weapons found in Halo 3:

Assault Rifle
Battle Rifle
Flamethrower
Frag Grenade
Missile Pod
Rocket Launcher
Shotgun
SMG
Sniper Rifle
Spartan Laser
