This worries me. I never liked the games a lot that you had to hit button sequences to pull off a combo. I do not want to be hitting a,b,b,x,a or whatever to fight. I like the idea of circling and timing much better. That said, combo ,might just mean hitting the melee button more than once or timing each press correctly. I also hope it's not too strong of an attack.

I think what bungie meens is you hit melee more then once and you may swing down then back up as opposed to the old halo way of swinging down then reset and swing down again in essence you hit faster.

I hope so. I also hope it does the same amount of damage.

Yep, all you do is tap the melee attack button at the right time to string a few attacks together, allowing quicker attacks, instead of waiting for it to reset before you can attack again. Nothing else is changed - it does the same damage, but faster.

It will probably different damage for different weapons, like, i doubt the rocket launcher will have a combo because its simply too heavy. But it would pack a hell of a punch, and, honestly, why wouldnt they have meelee combos just be pressign the meelee attack a few times in a row?

You could have a combo with the rocket launcher, but it would be slower, and possibly have fewer attacks in. Hopefully, the damage inficted will be based on the weight and size of the weapon.
