Well, so far I have loved the concept on Halo 3: OSDT. But one thing surprised me at the Gamespot feature when Joe Staten did in depth explanation on the first level of the game:
When he was playing he used melee attack to take down a Brute. This is, for me, completely nuts...
In Halo: Fall of Reach John was able to kill three ODSTs with his bara hands, on Halo: The First Strike he barely survived a fist fight against Brute, and as far as I am concerned no human other than a SPARTAN was able to take down ANY kind of covenant with bare hands (I have read all books, but Cole Protocol, and such thing has never happened). Taking the first two examples, extrapolating them and calculating the level of success of an ODST fighting against a Brute, we cannot argue that the ODST is incapable of even massaging a Brute to save his life.
For sake of the integrity of the story I hope Bungie really tunes down the melee when used against large Covenant. I can buy the idea of an ODST taking out a Grunt or Jackal with a punch, but a Brute? Give me a break.
Also, if four ODSTs (firefight) can take a whole Covenant platoon, why did the Humans loose so many colonies to the Covenant? (I have to note that one Elite obliterates four to five marines all by itself atleast it does so in the books, also, almost every ground battle was lost when the SPARTANS where absent)
I hope Bungie takes this into consideration, i cannot wonder what type of DEUX EX MACHINA they are planning to say in order to justify this things.
PD: Pardon my english, it is not my first lenguage.
I have asked similar things many a time in these forums, and the response is rarely any more intelligent than 'GAMEPLAY U N00B STFU' I would appear that the popular opinion is that without the ability to suckerpunch every 500kg alien you come across, the game just isn't any fun.
roflmao totally agreed.
