Yeah, dumb thread idea. But I adore the melees in CE. They're incredibly slow and impractical, but they look awesome.

My favorite is the Needler backhand.

im going to have to say its a tie between the pistol and the needler.

A litle spin for the pistol, and a face full of needles for the needler

The needler animation in halo1 was one of the coolest things in the entire halo franchise.

Sometimes you just gotta say, Bucket!

you gotta love the plasma pistol, there is nothing better than punching someone in the face, needler was cool too, flag was enjoyable aswell...

I loved the Needler. It may have taken a bit of time, but damn, did it look painful. I doubt you would try and hit them with the bottom of a spiked weapon if you tried to melee someone.

Besides, don't those little bastards explode inside you? They're the ultimate stabbing weapon.

  • 02.17.2009 9:14 PM PDT

Heheh. I never thought about it that way. I figured they stabbed you but remained usable as projectiles.

  • 02.18.2009 9:51 PM PDT

Needler, I never even noticed that animation till my third or so playthrough (used it mostly at range), that was an awesome weapon.

  • 02.19.2009 7:28 AM PDT

It has to be the pistol for me.

Personally, I get a kick out of the plasma pistol melee, because it is the chief's fist! I enjoy taking a leap and bringing my fist down onto an enemy head oh so much!

The pistol, of course! Skills

Bungie is the best.

Simple as that.

The thing about the rocket launchers thwack was that it actually felt and looked like a heavy blow. ;)

All animations were sweet and, more importantly, unique in some way.

There's something I've known for years (as I am a Halo PC modder):
Excerpt from Halopedia
"There is a second melee animation for the assault rifle, where the user holds the weapon vertically and clubs anyone in front of them with the back end of the weapon. This animation is used in a few Halo Custom Edition maps, but was taken out of the official game."


Note, this animation is 2 seconds slower than the normal Assault Rifle animation. Maybe that's why it was cut?

5 years and counting on Bungie. I feel old and worthless.

Possibly.

I think there is nothing better than the Plasma Rifle's big bottom part smashing Elite skulls.

Pistol was fun.

The melees were slow to begin with, I can't imagine one being 2 seconds longer.

You got stuck by FalconStickr

Pistol hands down. Why does John feel the need to flip his gun midfight? It gets me everytime

It's that flip that is unique, no other weapon I suppose has a special twirl or anything, just a bash.
