Are you tired of using the sword with the spartans?This is just my opinion I think the spartan looks retarded with the sword its just not right so, I came up with this idea wouldn't it be cool if there was a melee weapon made for spartans?Bungie put this in consideration make it where the spartans could use thier fists! it would be brutal all that spartan strength making contact with covenant face. Ahhhhhh sweet sweet blood.lol.If not fist than something like oh i dont know a knife big and powerful made to look awsome and deal damage to the covenant scum if not in multiplayer maybe make it a campaign only weapon. vote vote vote

Reminds me of Marathon 2, where you could dual wield your own hands and beat up aliens.

knives ARE going to be in the game take a look at the banner up the top of the screen, the spartan second from the right is holding a combat knife

in personal prefrence multiplayer would be a problem beacuse a combat knife cant cut through a spartans/elities metal armor

"YOUR DESTRUCTION IS THE WILL OF THE GODS, AND WE ARE THEIR INSTRUMENT."

...You'd rather use a fist...
....than a big sword of extremely hot plasma? Plasma that could rip through an Abrams tank in seconds? Plasma that if you touched against your bare skin, would melt or damn skin, muscle, and bones away in seconds?
Sure, why the hell not.

add a horn that says "!%*@ BILL O' REILLY" in Austin Powers' voice, and
I like how if anyone ever says a nice thing about Bungie people think all they want is Recon, and if someone says something bad about Bungie people join with them. And then after they get done bagging on Bungie, they go play the game that Bungie made

The reason he is holding a knife is because he did so in the book. Forge used a knife in a Halo Wars cutscene, but you can't use it in game. Besides, knives don't cut through steel armor. That's why guns were invented.

So what if they look retarded with the sword, it's just aesthetics.

scroll down for the epic win

Also take into acount that the UNSC will take covenant technology and adapt it for their own purposes so it could be a combat knife with a plasma edge
And I've do believe that in Reach the spartans were wearing Mark IV armour, and that armour doesn't have energy shields, so we might not have shields in multi player

How would a knife act like a Sword if the blade on a Brute Shot, Spiker, and Mauler don't?

Duhhh... it would b a lazer nife obvi0usly.

...making fun of people aside, Cheehwawa has it spot on. It doesn't matter if you are rammed with a car or if you are rammed with a car with a knife tied onto the front of it, you are still going to die. In Halo 3, normal melees do 70 points of damage and bladed weapons do 72 points of damage. Its not a huge advantage, and frankly, if I wanted a Knife, I want a knife that shoots super heated spikes as well so if I'm not at melee range I can still defend myself.

Plasma Edge Blade as I have said before the UNSC has displayed the ability to develop and modify Covenant technology for thier own means jackals energy shields were modified to shield Spartan Mark V armour, the Spartan laser was developed from Covenant direct enegy weaponry why couldn't some ONI scienctist pick up an energy sword take that technology and use it for combat knifes

Which would explain why such an innovation in the past would lead to a powerful weapon that all marines and spartans carried in the future.

...No.

Look, it wouldn't even serve a gameplay purpous, it would just be another sword, unless you can find some magical way to make it different and useful, they aren't going to waste time reskinning an existing weapon so that some people with knife obsessions can be happy.

The energy shields and spartan laser made sense. They were worth developing. The time needed to create combat knives that use plasma wouldn't be worth it. They have guns for a reason.

Specifically they have the Shotgun, the Human melee range weapon.

Guns have limited ammo, once you run out your gun is a stick that you whack people with, while the knife as no ammo to limit it and no long range capablities its still better than a gun with no ammo and as a last resort weapon its pretty ideal

If you want to see the MC die, play Legendary. If you want to see MC finish the fight, play Halo 3. If you want to see MC finish the fight by dieing, why did you waste six years when you could have done it yourself right now?

If we did bring a knife into the game, it shouldn't actually be any more powerful then a melee attack though. Just faster. It's provide the advantage you need but not remain too powerful. Also, it should be duel-wieldable. Also, you shouldn't have to drop a weapon to melee. Also... ahh, crap. Get one idea from me and you have to get the whole stamp of ideas. Trying to avoid that.
