Do you think that we should have a combat knife for melee in Halo Reach ?

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.

It's been brought up plenty of times, and I ask you, what's the point? Unless they FIX Melee first, they don't need it.

Here are my 5 easy steps on how to fix the Melee AND include a Combat Knife.

1: Return to the good ol' Halo 1 Melee mechanics, no lunge (Unless with the Sword) with an area of effect.

2: Reduce Melee attack power, the Melee should require THREE hits to kill.

3: Energy Sword and Gravity Hammer remain where they are, 1 Attack to Kill.

4: REGULAR melee with the Gravity Hammer, and Melee for the Spiker, Mauler, and Brute Shot are 2 hit kill.

5: Introduce Combat Knife, 2 hit kill, 25% faster Melee speed, and shortened Sword lunge (about regular Melee lunge.)

Bip bap bam, that is the ONLY way they will ever need to introduce a combat knife, and even then, there isn't much of a point.

Ya, its a good idea. It could be a special Spartan-Issued combat machete, made of folded titanium and shaped like the sword on the campaign shields

I was actually thinking the same thing today. I mean if they have CQB armor, then it's very possible.

Were it so easy.

For the 10th time, we already have 5 close range weapons, not to mention a knife would be completely underpowered.

...it's a Knife. Against Mjolnir or Sangheili Armor....a KNIFE. Basically? It should be an average melee lunge, not Sword lunge, and if this were put in it wouldn't work very well unless there were no Shields. Which there most likely will be.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Probably not. It wouldn't work on Elites and would be like nothing against Brutes or Hunters.
