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

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.
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

From a -blam!- SPARTAN AS I SAID.

That would just be redundant.

Plus there is one in the lore. The Knife thingy. Just not fun for gameplay.

Its called the 'Shotgun'

Nothing better then getting slapped in the face by a 12 gauge!
Actually the shotgun in this game is an 8 gauge. Yeah its even weaker than modern shotguns

Why do we humans need a melee weapon when we can just use the Covenant's weapons?

Are you -blam!- stupid? An 8 gauge is a -blam!- ton stronger than a 12 gauge.

Then why can it only kill someone at a range of about 3 feet or less?

Because a Spartan still can't stab a knife or sword through a -blam!- energy shield!

I'd rather have an Energy Sword over whatever pathetic melee weapon humans can produce.

Because it's being fired at a soldier with extremely advanced armor, designed to withstand ballistics and energy shields that can disperse that type of damage.

turtletimen is right

Because we aren't brutes or Elites. We are humans. And for the last few hundred years, human warfare has had less and less emphasis on melee combat. Even the use of bayonets is dying out. In the Halo universe, we might have combat knives and such, but we're not going to be using swords and shields at that point. It would be ridiculous.

Charge...BACKWARDS!

My opinion:
Spartans don't have a melee weapon because I guess of the fact that's he's supposed to improvise and pick up other weapons.
Not the question, but still, Humans: don't have a melee weapon for the same reason grunts, jackals, and drones don't have a melee weapon

  • 06.14.2009 2:07 AM PDT

in halo 3 it would have been doerble becuse elites were allied with the humans so it would become a energy nife or something like that (would be used for sneaky combat) but in odst the best that would be done is a steel pole (and to be onist if a spartan nocks of the brute power armour off one hit what will a steel pole do!

  • 06.14.2009 2:33 AM PDT

Five years older and wiser
The fires are burning, I'm fire, never tire
Slay warriors in the forests, and on hire

The humans are clearly weaker compared to an elite or brute.
