Subject: Why the combat knife may work. *Halo Wars Spoiler*

Halo Wars = non-cannon. Nuff said

Yeah, it is canon. Any licensed Halo game is canon.

Who says? Frank O' Connor and the guys down and 343 Industries do.

Prove me wrong.

Don't cross the white line.

"Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Give a Halo regular a fish, and he'll complain about the taste, color, type, size, where you found it, how you obtained it, whether or not you'll give him more fish later, and I don't know how many more things.And then when you give him another fish, he'll complain that it's not exactly like the first fish. Rinse and repeat."

Yes, a knife wouldn't work in a huge battle.

But would it work if you combined it with....

....STEALTH??

Yes. Yes it would.
So really the ONLY way the knife would work would be if Bungie added some kind of uber-cool stealth missions to go with it.
But that's kind of "out of character" for Halo.

Hmmm....

I agree, a combat knife would be much better than normal melee.

In the time of Reach covenent didn't have sheilds..Read First Strike the part where Haverson kills the Engineer..



that as because the humans improved covenant shielding so they did have shields. Haverson killed the engineer so it couldn't give the covenant the advanced shield info

Covenant did have shields at the time how ever engineers where not yet introduced to shields.

I was thinking that tooo... Maybe a HALO twist to it that will keep it cool and not look like a total copy

Why dont they make like 2 kinds melee animations.
Just a elbow or punch when you want to damage a enemy.
When a enemy is damage to the point that a melee is lethal we will use the combat knife animation.

Big Team Battle Multiflag/Slayer on Standoff/Valhalla/Sandtrap/Avalanche = Win

I wouldn't try and knife an elite holding an energy sword or a brute holding a spiker/bruteshot/gravity hammer/mauler. Those epic spartan fists are good enough.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

Wrong. Look it up. Bungie worked close with Ensemble studios to make the game, and it is considered part of the Halo canon.

A knife wouldn't be a weapon you would pick up, it would be a weapon you always have on you. Now, in custom games, you would be able to make it so that you have only a knife as well as no knife at all.
