No. Just no.

The brutes have gravity hammers and the elites have energy swords so why don't spartans have melee weapons on any of the games?

You better close this sig when your done.

Its called the 'Shotgun'

Nothing better then getting slapped in the face by a 12 gauge!

Death to rank junkies.

Humans aren't as strong as Elites and Brutes, so a melee weapon wouldn't work well for them.

I can only please one person per day.

Today isn't your day.

Tomorrow isn't looking too good either.

Because against SPARTANS, Elites and Brutes, any melee weapon the humans would have would be completely useless, unlike the Covenant Energy Sword and the Brute Gravity Hammer.

Demostrated as such.

I think he was saying why isnt it in the game. Not why didnt Bungie ever consider putting a human melee weapon into halo 1.

  • 06.13.2009 9:35 PM PDT

I ♥ Bungie!

the katana bungie people use it and its human.

  • 06.13.2009 9:35 PM PDT

wtf

Because the military doesn't use over-sized weapons that bonk aliens over the head. They use a combat knife, which, even in a SPARTANs hands, wouldn't be good for continuously stabbing armored aliens. It doesn't really matter.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.


Posted by: Xx KNOX xX
and how!

Logically the combat knife fills this role, but seeing as it is just a blade and the enemies you fight are for the most part very heavily armored, people would think strangely of it whether it was available or not.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

The Halo 2 and 3 Shotgun is a re-skinned melee. There's your human melee weapon.

  • 06.13.2009 10:24 PM PDT

the covey have proven to be a dominent force in the universe and therefore they have such weapons. Plus those weapons show athourity for comanding officers. And humans are not going to produce a melee weapon when they are already physicaly out matched.

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

We don't have anything that can go through energy shields, that coupled with the fact that no human, besides a SPARTAN, is strong enough to put something through a Brute's hide.

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

Hammers smash things.

Energy Swords cut through all known material.

I don't think a butter knife is going to do much against energy shielding...

Especially when the Spartan's own fist can smash through a tank.

even a hit with a gun goes through shields so im pretty sure that bungie can add some kind of useable human melee weapon for spartans that can kill an alien piece of crap like a brute
