There was originally a machete planned in the first Halo, but it was decided that there would be no practicality behind it. What is a metal edge going to do against energy shields? Bullets don't even puncture unless used in high amount.
Exactly what I was saying all day. In Halo CE all a knife could have done would have been to reduce the number of Melee attacks necessary to kill from 3, to 2.
I don't know if i would go that far, as the books do make mention of use of knives for silent kills. The catch is that that is only against unshielded enemies, Grunts and Jackals. Even though I doubt (hopefully) that Brutes will be featured in this game, in First Strike, the description when John was fighting with one leads me to believe that a blade wouldn't even penetrate their muscles.
I'm gonna put it simple. In Halo Wars, Forge could NEVER EVER kill the Arbiter that way. His bones were broken, his energy gone. He was as good as dead.
I really do hate the whole "The good guys have to win" rule they put into game and movies usually. I want to see it happen the way IT WOULD once in a while, and those Spartans, and Forge, were SCREWED.
Forge was screwed. But the Spartans? They were far from screwed.
