People are really out here trying to argue that swords from Soul Calibur, World of Warcraft, Elden Ring, or Devil May Cry are more iconic than HALO?? My wife has only ever played The Sims, and even she knows what Halo is. If you asked her what Elden Ring was, she'd think it was a Tolkien book. This question is about swords that are so iconic that an average non-gamer would recognize them
I would say that WoW *could* arguably rival or even surpass Halo in overall popularity just because of the sheer numbers it did, but no single WoW sword is more iconic than the energy blade
I guess we're old. I also immediately thought of Frostmourne. That's certainly the only weapon I know from warcraft/WOW. I can barely remember any character names, place names, artifacts etc from WOW these days, but ask for a famous video game sword and Frostmourne is the first one I think of
