it would be badass if they had a combat knife that worked like the one in Turok where everytime u stabed someone it would be a cool little cinimatic where it showed your character slitting your enemies throat from behind

But I think that cinematic would take even more editing and harder for the servers, and we all know how many laggers there are out there. Plus the hit recognition system isn't that good in a slightly laggy game so that could cause some real problems, and if the person can be killed during the cinematic and what not...

Last Refuge - Operation Phoenix is in effect. From the ashes, we will rise.

I definitely think that Halo Reach should have a combat knife, sword, I don't know, some type of human version of the Energy Sword. It'd be a nice addition and would help further balance gameplay, I suppose.

I know it probably won't work but I would love to see energy staves, like it showed in Halo Wars. I like Halo Wars (Gameplay thats all) but I actually liked the looks of the energy stave.

We already have the shotgun, frail humans with weapons not too much greater than modern day weapons don't use melee weapons in a gun fight.

I swear to DRUNK, I'm not GOD!

....haven't we grown out of the idea that one of the weapons you cary around in an FPS is used SOLELY for melee attacks? I mean, even the energy sword has an epic lunge to it, and the gravity hammer may as well be an anti-vehicle weapon. But a combat knife? Come on... grow up.

In the 26th century, genetically enhanced super soliders using KNIVES? I've said it in every other thread regarding this subject, the very idea of us fighting with knives is ridiculous. I would not be able to take the game serious at all.

And why does everyone seem to think that for every human weapon there should be a covenant equivalent and vice versa? That completely takes away the individuality of the weapons and makes them less unique. Halo's community basically wants one weapon but just reskinned/retextured and passed off as two different weapons.

Agreed. Don't we already have a rocket launcher AND a plasma cannon? Not to mention the BR and the Carbine, the sniper and the beam rifle, the smg and the spiker, (kind of alike) the mauler and the shotgun...

Crap, this is one of the reasons why I REALLY liked Halo: CE! Because in that game, EVERY weapon was unique, and they didn't have 8 different machine guns like in every other stinking FPS I had ever played. Hell, in Halo: CE, the only weapons that were kind of alike were the AR and the plasma rifle, and even THOSE were quite different from each other!

Who brings a knife to a gun fight anyway?

Hi. I'm AlbinoKola1. Currently I am not into Halo. I love to post on the forums though and I will always try to give my best opinion. My goal is to rise in the forum ranks and to have my space cowboy become a familiar symbol. I have one quote that shishka will use. If you send me a message, I'm sorry if I don't respond.

Yeah, because you know how well knifes cut through mjoirn battle armor.

Yes, we all know that the Spartans used combat knives in the books we're not idiots. But gameplay wise, its kinda pathetic. Also, if they included the cinematic kill idea for combat knives, we would have a Turok Multiplayer all over again. EG: everyone running around swinging knives like crazy and whoever has the better connection, gets the kill. Tactics and skill will be kicked out the door.

Those weapons are all slightly different. They function differently enough to make there be a difference. However, a "knife" would have to work exactly like a sword. Bad idea.
