I was siplifying true but being struck with a blade rarely causes death, unless to the head or neck. A punch uses transferance of keneitic energy to do most of its damage but a knife causes more damage because of the nature of blades. Cuts and stabs are more dangerous than bruses
I believe that it only takes 4 inches of blade to reach internal organs. Very possibly as little as 2 is required, but I think 4 inches is illegal(in my state) because of the reaching organs thing. A stab to a kidney, heart, or lung will almost guarante that you die without immediate medical attention. Being stuck with a blade rarely causes death because you usually don't damage something critical.
Somebody mentioned the possibility that you would use the knife instead of regular melee attacks with ranged weapons. This has been done in a Very popular game that I can think of and it works just fine. That is NOT a comparison to the other game. It is only an example.
I also hate all types of Melee lunge. I understand why the sword has one but think it should be maller. I think you shouldn't get one at all with anything but the sword.
EDIT: If your shields repulsed slow moving objects like a knife you would be unable to pick things up because the shields would repulse the object away from your fingers. Anybody ever read Dune? Knives worked BETTER against shields becuase shields only stopped fast moving things like bullets, and a knife could be wielded fast enough to be dangerous but slow enough to penetrate shields. But thats Dune and not Halo.
