Subject: did anybody else notice the combat knife?

Too often, people post on forums and just regurgitate what they've seen already and don't really explain their own views. - achronos

On the banner for halo:reach you can see a spartan holding what appears to be a knife next to the sniper, could this mean that there adding a combat knife or shock baton as weaponry or are they just replacing the energy sword?
most likely

LETS PUT IT THIS WAY:

If a magnum could kill you in two hits a metal sword should be able to kill you in one.

I don't think a combat knife would be that great as a Halo Weapon... this is why: What would happen
true, but what if it were like COD where you stab for the neck?

That comic strip is FTW 10x. Combat knife = hopefully not... but maybe just to try it.

Well spartans have shields, as do elites. It would just be pointless.

However, it would work in Campaign, but I don't see it happening.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

This is what most people will think off... but it doesn't necessarily has to be this way.
Humanity has colonized many planets. those different planets most probably have other types of elemental stuff. different types of rock and steel, know what I mean? those swords are probably made from material thats far stronger than the steel swords we know today....

Nobody has seen those swords in action as of yet, so it can also be possible it has some sort of energy device in it, which heats up the sword or makes it electric. things are possible

they could have a throwing knife option

Wow good idea there, It could work, the combat knife i mean although i reckon that they should just stick to things like the energy swords, Love em!!!!!! =D a new sword would be nice, but is it just me or does anyone like the idea of an energy chainsaw??!! That would rock methinks!!!!!! =D

I'm sure 500 years in the future, humanity made stronger alloys for their own ships than whatever rock or metal you can find on a planet.
and even if you add an electric shock to it... it wouldn't feel. why MUST the unsc have a sword anyway? do WE use swords nowadays? no... and we won't 500 years in the future either, because we'll probably have laser guns and stuff.

of course I do.... it's a glowing blue energy sword. it's like in starwars minus the sound effects. but human swords would be lame... it's a SCIFI game. how original is a metal sword? >.<

plus, having a covenant only weapon is good. it makes sides not the same. if humans get a sword of any kind, then give covenants a shotgun, and even every differences by giving humans a needler thing (flak gun), a giant hammer , a grenade launcher, etc. you get my point.

Oh good good, and human swords would suck....to bland and basic, and yes i kinda get your point......but people come on....an energy chainsaw??!! Seriously i reckon that would be awesome??!! (Not to copy too much off gears here) but a bungie designed chainsaw would rock!!!! and make the saw part glow blue like the energy sword!!! No? Ok i'll let Bungie do the professional design ideas then...... =]

Added more reason to why this would make sense if this was added.

That would be stupid. Just like assassinations are stupid.

  • 08.29.2009 1:23 PM PDT

Soz, you're gonna have to wait till Halo: Ultimatum. Last game in the series, with every weapon, gametype, map, editor and brothel available. Basically all the stuff Bungie should have put in on the other 599 games they will make.
