Remember in the origional how in the begining you didnt have a weapon and you couldnt melee attack or anything. I think it would be cool if you can put up your dukes like dirty syle boxing if you dont have weopons.

yeah that would be awesome. in halo 1 on the first level i always wished i could punch the stupid marines if the got in my way when i was goin to the bridge and i always wanted to punch that one marine who says "the captain needs you on the bridge ASAP you'd better follow me" cause he takes too long to talk.

but i doubt there will be a part like that in halo 2, considering he has been trained and armed.

You do know that you can just jump on him then crouch to go ahead of him, right?

And, of course, this isent chronicles of riddick, MCs not gona have to "put up his dukes" Hes always gona have a weapon. Unless he gets captured.....

But fighting hand-to-hand, MC's won before, like in the First Strike and Fall of Reach books. Any Marathon vetran wants to use his fists to pummel Grunts or Elites... after all, he's armored just as well. And he can flip a Warthog! Jeez, that's enough to beat an Elite to death.

i think it would be cool when you ran out of ammo in both or all three of your weapons you could throw down all of your guns and start punching

If you had a gun in a real fight and ran out of ammo would you throw it down? Hell no you would use it like a bat. I trained in Karate for 6 years and one thing that my Sensai said that I will always remeber is when you are in a fight the only time you fight with your bear hands is when you can't find anything to pick up and swing, stab or throw at them. I am trying not to sound like a smart ass here but come on use your heads.

I read some time ago that the MC will be able to go weaponLESS and thusly run at a faster pace.
If this is true it would make little sense to not allow him to utilize his fists... which would consequently make for some awesome melee action.

Yeah, I think that if they're going to let us sprint, then there probably isn't much reason to put in fist-fighting. I like the idea though, just would kind of give you an advantage cause you can also move twice as fast.

there have been so many conversations about this.... I beleive, keep the guns, even if you run out of ammo... Just hit your opponent with the gun, or if your holding a plasma pistol from Halo, punch him good! You dont need to have no guns to have a good melee battle in multiplayer.

I could imagine, a level when your unarmed, would be too hard in Legendary, if your opponents had guns. (who the hell guards a cell without a gun, if you get captured for instance)
