Life is interesting...

Instead of killing each other at the same time with a melee, why can't there be a system of martial arts?

So when to people are engaged in a lunge of melee, that is when the minigame gets started. There blows will be blocked by each other and it will be king of like a quick-time event because you would have to hit certain buttons depending on what moves you want to do. Remember you will have to block the opponents move as well.

The best part of the system would be as soon as the battle starts, the camera will go third person and will zoom into you opponent's face. Then it will flash and zoom into yours. While this is happening for a couple seconds some high pitch, attention grabbing music will play.

If Bungie brings back the armor permutation with the katana on your back, you will be able to use that. If the opponent has one too then it will become a battle of samurais. The same with the quick-time minigame here too.


Whenever this happens whatever is going on all players will be teleported into a circle and forced to watch the duel. Because of this being a big deal the winner will get the equivalent of 4 kills (not a killingspree yet it is rewarding). When the duel is over the teams will just start playing from that circle.

Good idea right?

Let's but honest here, the melee is fine where it is.

I know but... It's not really something that can expand into a conversation. I dunno, it seems like something that should come in mid thread, not be used as a thread starter; there's nothing to work with.
