Subject: Halo Reach: Ideas for a new Mele system.

We are all talking about having a new mele system, more involving, whatever the request is, it's been asked for many times. My idea would be a mele system similar to sword clashes. Think about it, if two people mele at the same time they clash and maybe bungie can extend this so when two people collide there's a button you can press to punch your enemy with your free hand after the collision. This would be almost like hand to hand combat, which we haven't seen that much in Halo, it would be fun to watch, involving for the gamer, and it would be good for machinima. Just my idea though, any others?

Fact 2: European guys are hotter

I guess I can understand if you don't want to make out with guys in the US if they're so ugly, you should just say so though.

All I can say is that I liked the Halo 3 melee system before they changed it.

You, obviously, had a good connection.

Just bring back halo 2's melee system.
When you stand you take down half the shields, while walking or jumping 3/4 of the enemy shield.
And please no more double beatdown. Yes their will be slight host advantage, but I played halo 2 for a long time and I never ever said "wait I meleed first, host advantage!!!111". It happened so rarely in halo 2, one didn't even notice, and it would be the same in reach.
Also by taking down less shields per melee it makes cqb way more interesting, because it would be more than both people shooting a few times and then a double beatdown.

I didn't really like the mele system before the changed it, but wouldn't it be funny if you were playing a game in halo reach and you saw two people clash with a mele then someone gets punched in the face and flies backward with the usual halo 3 death grunt like, "Arrrggg!" I'd laugh for a couple of minutes myself. :D

You are lame...

If Bungie just puts in the Halo:CE system, where you had to aim you melees, had no lunges, and where they did different amounts of damage for different situations.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

I like it! Cause as it is now its pretty boring. And killing eachother with the AR is one of the stupid things Ive seen in recent years, especially since one of the players in most cases has much less health then the other (why not just make both survive like with the sword?!).
So yeah, Id really like to see a new close quarter combat system, as you said, one that is more involving for the player.

EDIT: Oh, and no bloody half mile locked on lunge! And how about different damage depending on where you aim/hit? Two on the head, one on the back of the neck, and three everywhere else (?).

Halo CE melee= Perfect.

And make it 3 melees to kill, like it was in Halo 2. Instead of 2 melees to kill.

Nope, crappy DSL in Maine. It just made more sense. Whoever had the most damage done to them won.

They made the update so that people like you wouldn't fail at close quarter combat because there was lag and you melee'd half a second late because you didn't have host.

I think with a skillful melee system, two players would melee, and then the game would become DDR where you use the A B X and Y buttons as your directions and whoever gets the better score after the song wins the beatdown.

Why does it even matter? Its a video game. Its just a part of the game. If they changed it again then people would just find another way to complain about it. The system will never be perfected. Just be happy that Bungie is giving us another game.

We got a trailer, a banner, a dragon, and the fact that the game is a FPS to talk about. Forgive us if we speculate a bit to pass the time :)

You're the kind of idiot who completely missed the point of this board.

I think there should be some melee weapons that don't instantly kill the opponent, but do more damage than a normal hit.

There are. Normal weapons do 70 points of damage when you melee, brute weapons do 72 points of damage when you melee because they are bladed. It doesn't seem like a lot, but it can make all the difference in a beatdown calculation.

Ninjabag the tea-pirates!

I don't want to join your group.

I think the melee system works pretty well at the moment. I don't like how it works against shotguns though.

I'm not surprised you do, your ToD is melee lol

Double beatdowns are TOO noob friendly, I understand that there are limits in how "pro" you can try and make the game, but I personally feel they took it too far with the current beat down system.

I'd rather use Halo 3s original, or Halo 2s beat down system by far.

Best of all would be a clash system that didn't ruin fluidity of the game.

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

I agree. Better than the current system anyways.
