actully the halberd was use against cavalry and infantry(like pikemen and other polearms) the halberd was a cheap light and a very versatile weapon and were used by swiss mercenaris in the 14th and early 15th century. additionally halberds were reinforced with metal rims over the shaft thus making effecive weapons for blocking other weapon like swords. this capability increased its effectiveness in battle and expert halberdiers were as deadly as any other weapon masters.well at least thats what i saw and know.
