Subject: Ideas for a new melee system which requires skill?

I would really like to see this happen. It would be a welcome change from the boring melee fights in Halo 3.

Ideas:

Less/No auto aim
Ability to crouch under melees
BXB type function which requires skill to pull off?
Faster melee speed (Possibly combos that take skill to pull off?)

Any ideas?

No to the melee combos and no -blam!- way to the BXB.

Why not?

Tank beats everything!

For a Melee system i could see the possibilteys of combos, but the BXB is kind of redicoulis...

My biggest thing is i dont know many people that hit someone and take 5 seconds to do it again... seems pointless to hit them at all in all honesty.

What you want to have the -blam!- melee system from halo 3 where you hope more of your assault rifle shots hit your target before you melee?
I think BXB would be a blessing.

If you maybe halved the melee damaged but increased the melee speed and decreased auto aim it would give enough reward to a player who had the skill to hit an opponent with his melee to make it worthwhile.

Actually I think the halo 1 melee should be used.

Faster melee, but each are weaker, and less aim assist. So you actually have time to move around, try and dodge melees, etc

I'm joking.

I think the halo 1 melee lunge was perfect. With an increased melee speed the rewards would be enough to risk a melee at close range.

I hate Gears of War, just because of that.

Yeah, that was probably the lamest gameplay mechanic introduced in GoW 2.

I'd like the idea of being able to duck under melees and the increase in melee speed though.

Or implement a Kung-Fu engine
