OTK. Splatter time!

From the gameplay trailer there was no Beat downs so are they in it still.

I dont believe so
1. B is now the main action button as seen in the trailer
2. ODST are not as strong as SPARTANs so the beat down would do a relitivley low amount of damage

They still work, but aren't as effective like if MC was punching. You can smack a grunt or jackal, but you'll probably jumped if you try to smack a brute...

One of the screenshots is called Smacked and it appears the ODST beat down the shield of a Jackal. I would most certainly assume beat downs will be kept, but keep in mind, you are no longer a gigantic steel super soldier. Your beat downs will be weaker and you will take a lot more damage trying to do so. The game will require you to be more tactical and beat down less.

That is what the headshot on them is for.
Yeah they aren't as strong & complexed.
the button layout will be switched around alot I guess.

I know but it would be fun to have a beat down fight with a brute chieftain who has a gravity hammer on legendary difficulty. Done that in Halo 3 and was a epic lost.

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

Wrong. The person playing in the trailer just happened to be using a layout that assigned B to the action button. In many pieces of footage, RB is the action button.

On topic, I believe that you can still beat down but it won't do nearly as much damage as it does in Halo 3.

Watch me. If there is a melee button the grunt shells will be flying regardless.
