One of the reasons I love Halo is because of the combat-system. Beatdowns and assassinations.. Will this appear in ODST, you think?

Point Guard: Zaire Taylor (Senior)
Guard: J.T. Tiller (Senior)
Forward: Kim English (Sophomore)
Forward: Laurence (Junior)
Forward: Keith Ramsey (Senior)

Likely not. Since your only a normal human with some armor, it wouldn't be wise to get up close and personal with an 8 foot Brute.

Stop Telling Me To Veto

Probably not because a Marine is no where as strong as a Spartan so if they were in ODST they would be very weak like 2 beatdowns to kill a grunt.

Battle Rifle: $250. Sniper Rifle: $500. Rocket Launcher: $100,000.
Defending Earth from a race of cybernetically advanced lifeforms: Priceless. There are some things that money can’t buy.
For everything else, there’s Mister Chief.

I'd expect it to still be there, but much less effective.

yes. I think ODSTs can beat things down and assasinate people. i wonder if bungie includes a knife in the game? cuz sneak attack with a knife is awesome

If I had a custom Avatar, this is what it would look like.

Actually he could use a knife like in COD.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Combat knife -> jugular slice -> melee

You should be able to use a knife as a beatdown, to make up for the lack of strength

I already suggested that.

I've seen a civilian armed with a pistol on The Storm kill a Hunter by kicking it.

That made my day.

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

I'm pretty sure that being able to melee is still in Halo 3: ODST. I would expect it to be less useful than when you were a Spartan, though.

A knife would be awesome. Talking about slicing weapons.. Now is a good time to bring back the small dual-wielding energy swords that were shown as features in Halo 3, don't you think? :)

  • 06.01.2009 9:30 PM PDT

Who needs a Knife, let us do a Ninja !

  • 06.01.2009 9:33 PM PDT

1:14 in trailer.

Hunter gets assassinated.

: )

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Agreed, even if it might be hell of weaker, I find it a necessary move in defeating a enemy at various times. I'm more wondering if we can use swords or gravity hammers, which I doubt.

I bag if they're pissed so their super nerdrage brings me lulz.

Look in the screenshots. It shows an ODST beating down a Jackal in firefight.

There is a time in the video where someone does beatdown. It is also in a screenshot here on bungie. Called smackdown. (he hits a jackal)
