Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

Bungie is giving us new weapons for ODST. Do you think this will include the Combat Knife? ODST's like to carry those around with them for close combat, which this game will sometimes be involved around. I sure hope so, because I've wanted to wield one of those since I saw the demo for Halo: Combat Evolved.

No. It's been confirmed that the melee will be the exact same as in Halo 3, only weaker because you are now an ODST and not a Spartan.

Why So Serious?

That would make me a very happy person. But yeah, i highly doubt it.

  • 06.10.2009 9:13 AM PDT

just for show.

you'll still beat down grunts & jackals with ur gun, not a knife.

  • 06.10.2009 9:13 AM PDT

I hope, because them being just ODST's will make a difference in their meeleing.

They were equipped with them in Halo 2, but didn't have an animation for it.

It's brilliant. ODST really is going to be a new version of Halo:CE isn't it? Weak melees..... It's going to make hand-to-hand combat so much more challenging and rewarding rather than just mashing the pad.

In Halo:CE even on Normal mode you had to punch a blue Elite at least 4 times before it died. And you had to be quick pr he'd beat you to a pulp and go momentarily blind. On A red Elite, forget about it. Thats like 6 hits.

One of the people on the banner over the reach forum is holding one.

I'd have a seizure too if some genetically enhanced freak starting shooting me in the head.

"Hey you! BOB carrying my second pistol, let's go!"

Marines IRL don't usually use knives for combat purposes.

God I loved that. Melee combat in Halo:CE was genuinely challenging, from H2 onwards it was just mash B until the bad man goes away. Elites were so tough, Zealots were impossibly tough and Flood was just impossible. Not sure why Flood got so weak after Halo1.......

Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, dance like noones watching.

I just played Assault on the Control Room yesterday on Legendary. Not only is the melee weaker, but your resources are very limited. I found myself facing two hunters, two jackals, and some grunts, with only a half-empty plasma rifle, and a plasma pistol. Hopefully ODST will also make you manage your resources carefully.

Just be glad that we don't have a knife. I would kill myself if they did something like in CoD3. It would be like "Rookie, take point" you walk around the corner and some member of the covenant jumps out and control of the knife ensues. Then a message on your screen apears saying "do this combination of button mashes to shake the brute" after killing the brute (if you do lol) your teemmates are just like "sorry for not helping you, but we didn't want to interupt your fight"

It would be pretty schweet for at least 1 melee animation to include a combat knife (instead of a rifle butt or your fist). It fits with the whole stealth overtones as well.

That said, I doubt that it's going to be included. So we'll just have to go back to staring at our CQB chest plates wondering, "If only..."

Because an m-16 can pick off an insurgent from 3937 yrd's or so. Plus bayonets are more effecient.


But special forces do. Fact.

i highly doubt it will have knives. i cant c it, melee goes way far back

  • 06.10.2009 10:11 AM PDT

Death to rank junkies.

That wouldn't do much to Brute armor, Hunters, vehicles, Jackal shields, or flying Drones.
