So we all know the ODSTs are lesser than Spartans in every way. Run slower, jump lower, are shorter, less health, etc... Well one of those things they are lesser than Spartans in respect to is melee strength. But how much lesser do you think they are in that respect? Half as strong a melee? A quarter as strong? Three-fourths as strong?

I would assume half as strong. I just hope we can still take out the lesser Grunts with a single melee if we need to.

I think I saw in a video that a brute takes three melees instead of two on normal now.

I think that the melee in ODST will be just about as strong as it originally was in Halo 2.

So Halo 3 ODST = Halo 2 Spartan in terms of strength?

ODST is too weak to take out a enemy in melee hit, I think Bungie forces you to use your weapon more frequently.

In the walkthrough/demo thing it looked like the brute took some pretty serious damage from the melee. Even if its weaker it serves pretty much the same purpose, you do some damage and make it stop moving for a second so you can shoot it in the head.

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

In the books, a Spartan would be 10 times stronger than an ODST with ease. But I guess for gameplay reasons they're only a bit weaker.
