I recently heard a "rumour"(this isn't spelled right) that marines would have melee attacks on Halo 2, this might make them a little more effective when they are point blank with the enemy (and also if they still have some kind of stupid "charge the enemy" AI in there)....
Yea-anyways I was wondering if there was any truth to this? Is Cap. Bob going to be able to pistol whip you?

I highly doubt that marines will mele attack, the only reason the Master cheif mele's is because he's a total bad-ass super strong dude. I mean, he is like 20x stronger then a marine. So, if a marine melee attacked it would do little or no damage... It would be cool to whatch like 10 marines beat an elite to death though.

I agree with Xbox Aristotle. If marines melee attacked, they'd either do little damage to the enemy, or hurt themselves (O.o). After all, you've seen how pathetic and weak they can be in Halo.

I can see regular marines not "pimp slapping" (as I call it), but what about ODST's?

marines should get really mad when the covies kill a lot of them and them they just go on a rampage and start punching grunts, elites, jackals, even hunters and brutes, it would be realy cool to see elites grabing an elite and other marines punching him continuosly on the stomach an when a hunter kills their general they get realy mad and start shooting the hunter like mad dogs and when they get close they trow the hunter to the ground and beat him up and the hunter would just throw them away with his shield and they would just come back and do the same thing again!!! that would be cool.

who cares, if you are out of shield and get hit, you don't die, soo, it could happen the same for the marines and they would be like imortal for awile when that happened.

The only thing a Marine would be able to hold down is a Grunt or Jackal! Elites and Hunters and Brutes are just far too strong for an ordinary human to beat up! And if Covenant killed a lot of Marines or the CO then instead of getting angry they'd probably crap themselves and run away screaming "Mommy dont let me die!"

yeah it is really sad when a red elite jumps into a squad of marines and massacres them by just beating them to death and the marines can only shoot

I don't really care whther or not marines learn to melee or not. I'd much rather they learn to use full-auto up close. Man, it always pisses me off when a marine is standing RIGHT BESIDE and elite, and he fires in bursts.

And if they do leanr to melee, i don't think they'd be strong enough to do damage to anything but a grunt or jackal. Maybe they could beat elite corpses at the end of a battle. I could see it now....
