Since you played it can i ask a question? Is it possible/ easy to dodge the lunge attack from the energy sword?

I was under the assumption that the melee combat will be the same as halo (apart from the energy sword that is)

but in Halo 1 on regular difficulty, 1 swipe from an Elite with a sword means death. and in the E3 demo you can see that Wort (the elite) has multiple different melee attacks with the sword, meaning that the regular melee attack isn't an instant kill, kinda eliminating the purpose of the sword.

[color=lime] When i used it at E3 I was only pushing the trigger button also, when your holding a weapon when plying Halo yoru first instinct is right trigger. Also I play with green thumb so it was a pain pressing the red button to melee =( [/color]

I havent played it but:

Lock on + RTrigger = Instant one hit kill lunge attack
(im not so sure about this: R-Trigger alone = swipe)
B = melee combo

Ok, you say you went to E3? How is the flag moved by the defending team?

Like when the guy demenstrated with a spartan swinging the sword, it happened 2 times with one melee attack. And when the elite had it there was an inward to outward swipe followed quickly by a down to up strike.
