I just watched the ODST Vidoc and at 1:09, you see the Rookie smack the Brute dead. ODSTs are just normal humans, not SPARTANS. I think whenever we melee an enemy I think we should knock them down and then shoot them while they're down to kill him. What do you guys think?

5 years and counting on Bungie. I feel old and worthless.

I agree. But I bet they are still really strong, by just weightlifting and taking supplements.

It is too late to change gameplay mechanics like that. Just live with that beatdowns are as powerful as they were in Halo 3.

Melee is one of the core aspects of Halo's gameplay. I bet they couldn't tone it down because they wanted ODST to feel like a Halo game.

Give a man fire he's warm for a day light a man on fire he's warm for his life.

A knife would have been cool.

Melee is weaker, every time I've seen it been used when the Brute Armor is weak and they destroy it or if they've been shot a few times without armor then finished off.

E-mail; save a stamp fire a mailman...

i doubt it... the brute was probably very low on health...

But we will find out when halo ODST comes out... i run up to a brute an punch it and have it -blam!- slap me all the way back to the rookies home planet of Luna

Because he was un-shielded?

It doesn't matter if he's unshielded or not. A Spartan punch can shatter bones, but an ODST punch would probably just leave a bruise.

Too many Bungie fanboys.

a well placed punch can kill anything. and the brute was probably weakened,

E-mail; save a stamp fire a mailman...

brutes dont have energy shields. just the armor they wear and the occasionaly invincability power up.

And so there was a man who ate cake.

And he was happy it was that way.

In real life you can beat a guy to death. Remember, he was shooting the Brute beforehand, so he'd already weakened him.

If we had to shoot, beat him down, and continue to shoot it would take up too much ammo in my opinion.

That was a Chieftan. And Johnson just punched him in the gut where the armour was stronger.

It's a video game. It's not suppose to be realistic.

7 lines isn't long enough for a signiture! =P

MegaHaxPwnage

Your idea makes sense, but it would be way too difficult

  • 07.30.2009 11:01 AM PDT

my gamertag is bloodymac32

i think if they weakend the punch it wouldnt be as good but if u punch them and they fall down that would be pretty cool i wouldnt have a problem with that

  • 07.30.2009 11:06 AM PDT

you do less damage with your mellee and the only reason he killed him so the brute must have been injured

In the cutscene in Halo 3: The Covenant, Johnson punched a normal Brute trooper in the face. It just flinched and growled.

Well, they do have a melee attack. but it isn't as severe as the Spartans. i have seen videos where the Rookie melees a brute two times with no shields, and he still doesn't die. il try an find that video.

The attack isn't as strong as the Spartans, don't worry,
