FEET FIRST INTO HELL

I know it's a very important gameplay option but do you think the mele is canon, because I'm not so sure it's that powerfull.

Yes and no.

Yes because it involves your character and is an attack option, but also no because it is not advertised as part of the game and is not crucial to the story of the game.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Is melee cannon? Unless hitting someone with a gun is impossible, then yeah, it's cannon. And remember that Spartans are augmented super soldiers. A blow like that from a Spartan is most certainly that powerful.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Im pretty sure your melee attack will be much weaker as an ODST.

It is, if you look in one of he video's there is a Brute with no armor and it takes around two hits to kill it.

Maximum Ride forever!!! <3

There spartans... there 7ft tall, can jump over a fully grown human, can flip tanks, can run faster then any known man, and do all of that in full armor that weighs 1000 pounds... and your asking this?

Wow, I can't believed I missed that....of course he means ODST's.

Well we don't really know how powerful it is. I would imagine the ODST melee power is more of a gameplay tweak than cannon though. It's probably more powerful than it should be, but slightly less than a Spartan.

The melee is less powerful and a bit more realistic.

i would like for there to be a mellee cannon in that it shoots melees. when i mellee someone it just dosnt have enough range. and give the melee gun a scope too.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Sounds like the Halo 1 melee.
