Subject: Holy -blam!-! We get knives!

If this is the state of my art, then I secede.

Look at the 2nd Spartan in from the right

That's a goddamn machete! I really hope that there will be a knife for meleeing in this game. Honestly, the beatdowns were fun, but knives would be amazing. That sound of your knife cutting through the hopes and dreams of your opponent is enough to have to change your boxers. But please Bungie, if you are to implement a knife as a melee system, do it better than Infinity Ward.

maybe it is a weapon instead of a general melee

Wait, whats that? Oh, thats just the sound of no one caring!
And watch where you point that thing next time!

what kind of gun is the middle guy holding? The barrel looks too long to be an assault rifle and it doesn't look like a BR

I'm pretty sure it's an AR, it's just that from underneath, the barrel looks deceptively long.

Edit: At closer inspection, it does look alot like a BR...

Also, yes, I do believe that Frederic is holding a knife.

If you like euphemisms, you can refer to the rank resets as "prestiging".

Knives are great for cutting through shields and armor.
amirite?

that's kind of impossible. that's like saying they have to find a better button for shooting, because the right trigger sucks.

I think knives is kind of what they were trying to do with the sword... It was cool in CE when your enemies used it but in 2 and 3 it just wasn't the same.

The grunts are comming for you. They have your battle rifles!

I thought It looked like a shotgun.
Actually if you look at it another way it does look like a br.

@Helveck

Just an Average Joe...

To be honest... I never thought of it that way. But now, I'm actually starting to consider the possibility. Bungie is good at being subtle... Or they show off things that may appear, without saying or clarifying, or underlining anything. Like the old trailer pre-Halo 3 that was entirely CG.

A lot of people asked, "Oh my god, a bubble shield, maybe we can has?" And not only did it, but a a bunch of other equipment was thrown into the game too.

So, I think it is a fair possibility.

if it`s a spartan, he`s as tall as a Truck. that`s a perfect size for a Machete.

It may not be a knife if you look closer hes holding it in a weird way it might be longer then it looks could be the human version of a sword but eh

  • 06.11.2009 9:58 PM PDT

  • 06.11.2009 10:16 PM PDT

Nyan nyan, nyan nyan, ni hao nyan! Gorgeous, delicious, deculture!

What I'm interested in is what the one on the far left is holding.

It looks like some kind of machine gun.

So is the molded plastic fiber butt of an Assault Rifle. Realistically, if a Spartan used a firearm for a physical strike and used all of their strength, the weapon would be in pieces.
