I think this weapon might have some importance in buck's flashback's cutscene. What do you think. Maybe list possible things he could do with it in a cutscene that would be really cool. =]

I think that it would be cool if Buck had just killed a Covy patrol and there was one brute left and they were both out of ammo. The brute had an empty spiker and Buck had his knife. The brute didnt have any shields left. The two had an epic show down and then finally ended with one of those things where you have to press buttons fast to push your knife harder against the other and you have to push it faster with each difficulty. That would be cool.

It should just be a cutscene like in Halo Wars (possible spoiler) with Forge and the Arbiter. Button pressing would ruin a scene like that in my opinion.

That is a pretty cool idea. I don't think that Bungie would put that into the game, because it's not quite their style, but it's a very good insight on a possible way the cutscene could go.

I think that Buck's Cutscene will be focusing towards his Assault Rifle, Combat Knife, Drop Pod, or another significant thing that relates to him.

Did you actually read the topic?
It's talking about him using his knife in his flashback cutscene.

One problem, a Brute is like 200 times stronger than human. Any attempt of CQC with a Brute would end in a mutilated hunk of meat. Even Master Chief could't knife fight a Brute.

True. In the books, the Master Chief barely survived one, and only because he got lucky. If the Master Chief himself barely killed it in hand-to-hand combat, an ODST wouldn't last a second. And besides, button mashing cutscenes is Resident Evil style, not Halo.

Wow, A combat knife is already in the Halo universe. It's in the novels, many Spartans use them. It is a logical weapon. Getting stabbed with a 6 inch long blade would hurt worse then getting slapped with a Assault Rifle.

Wort! Wort! Wort! I am the distraction.

spartans and elites are about the same strengths, it come down to fighting skill with them. brutes are muck stronger than spartans and elites

Elites are the same strength as Spartans, it says so in the books, so no, it would be an equal fight. Also, it wasn't hand to hand, the elites had spears, the Spartans had SMGs and Shotguns. They didn't even fight hand to hand, the Spartans just shot them. So, your logic is flawed.

Hand to hand:

so...
Brute + ODST = no more ODST

Ya I agree with Lt Sartor he could end up getting in a knife fight with a brute and dying. We will have to wait and see.

I think that it is just there for show. Nothing more nothing less.

The reason the ODST has a knife is because they can drop in days before the other soldiers and supplies so they need the knife as a tool for survival.

  • 07.01.2009 2:45 PM PDT

I think everyone is thinking of the knife being used as for example an energy sword. In a boxing ring with an ODST in one corner and a Brute in the other, yes of course the Brute will win. But an ODST isn't using it as a sword! He's not wading through combat cutting up covenant soldiers. ODST's use shotguns and SMGs for CQB. The knife is a last resort.

For example in Halo Wars John Forge kills the Arbiter with his knife. Was it because he was better at CQB or even skilled at using the knife?...definitely not he got his ass handed to him the whole time, but the Arbiters confidence got the best of him and gave Forge enough room to stab him.

Is the knife useless? No, but you can Buck isn't charging a Brute head on wielding only a knife. Unless he knows he is already at Death's doorsteps and charges as a final act of defiance.

It worked well in Resident Evil 4. I think Bungie could make interractive cutscenes work.
