Halo 4 video shows off the returning Covenant weapons

The Energy Sword and Gravity Hammer are back for Halo 4. Personally, that’s all I needed to hear — those melee weapons are some of my favorites in all of gaming. In this new video, 343 Industries demonstrates the Covenant weaponry that’ll be usable in the game.

If brief, visual overviews aren’t so much your style, they have also got you covered with in-depth descriptions of each weapon in this blog post. Having recently played Halo 4, there’s so much more I’d like to say, but that will have to wait for now.

Check back on Friday at 12:01am Pacific for my full preview. It’s a long one!
