Heres some stuff I think Spartan's should be able to do:
Walk up to an enemy and press RB, you will grab the grunt and lift him up while switching to 3rd person mode. Then, you have a few choices:
For Grunts:

*Press RB again: Throw the grunt in any direction you point at (even in to other enemies)
*Press LT (grenade button): Rip off the grunts mask, mush a grenade into his mouth, and pitch him into which ever direction your pointing at
*Press B: Smash the grunt into the ground sending blood splattering all over the screen.

For Shielded Jackals:

*Press B: Grab the jackal by the hand (the one with the plasma pistol that is exposed from the shield), and swing the Jackal in the air while ripping his arm off.

For Jackal sniper's/Unshielded Jackals:

*Same 3 Grunt options
*Tap B twice: Toss the Jackal in the air, grab it by both arms, then rip both arms off leaving an armless Jackal bleeding out on the ground.

For Elites/Brutes:

*Press RB again: Toss him (same as grunts)
*Press LT: Stick a nade in his mouth and toss him (same as grunts)
*Press B: Give the elite a slight toss upwards, and double spin kung foo 1337 kick him sending him flying.

For Hammer wielding Brute's and Sword wielding Elite's:

*When he swings, press RB at the right time, and you will block the swing and go into a "Sword/Hammer lock" kinda like GOW2's chainsaw duels. Tap B as fast as you can, if you win, you make him stagger backwards, then peform an ultra cool combo and beat the sh_t out of him.

All of these moves should be peformed really quickly so that it does not ruin the flow of the game. Anyone else like these ideas?

Thanks for sharing. How is shouving grenades into mouth's and ripping arms off Jet li? It seems very "Spartan-ish" to me.

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

This is a First Person Shooter not Dead or Alive or Mortal Kombat, just so you know.

Exactly why the moves should be executed very quickly. Just imagine tossing grunt after grunt without slowing the pace of the game.

It would ruin the gameplay, Halo is run and gun.

Besides, imagine trying to do this on Legendary while like 15 grunts, 4 jackals, and 2 Elites are shooting at you.

-I was here

it doesn't seem to fit into halo imo

So don't do it when there's tons of enemies around.

I'd certainly like to see a Spartan's true strength and ability this time around.

Exactly what I was thinking. Spartan's should have more abilitys. In the books, John rips apart a couple of ODST's with his hands. I would love to see him or other spartans Rip apart enemys with their bare hands in game.

Oh my gosh, you disturbed little man. That would be gory and brutal beyond extent.

That would change Halo completely (for the bad).

1. Maybe just throw the Grunt, not turn it into a blood fest.
2. Just throw the Shielded Jackals into the air (not chosing where to throw it)
3. Wow, that's disgusting... just disgusting. Only throw it (again)
4. That 3rd option is just idotic. Maybe just tackle it and punch it in the face.
5. Now that would ruin gameplay. If the Elite/ Brute is able to land a bash on you then it deserves to kill you.

And to top it all off, you sir are a disgusting person who obviously plays too much GoW. Get off this forum and go play the game you got this all from.

1. I'm sorry if you were expecting cute little bunny rabbits and roses.
2. If an elite/brute manages to smash you with a hammer/sword, then yes, you deserve it. That is exactly why you must press RB with PRECISE timing in order to block it and save yourself. If you miss by half a second, your pulp.

I invoke the case study of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

More complex fancy flowery combat moves are ultimately inferior to the simplest action.

Halo doesn't need Gears of War type execution moves.

Why must you post such stupid things? 90% of the moves I listed in my thread were not flashy at all. How is yanking limbs off and throwing enemies flashy? Also, if you want, I can spin kick you in the face and we can both see how effective it is.

People have been asking for more blood/the darker side of halo. This would help implement it. Keep in mind people, it doesnt have to be exactly what I posted. I would just like to see a combat system similar to it. Unless you all just want the same old walk, jump, and melee system that is 8 years old now.

If they are flashy.... awesome! That just makes it all that more fun to play. I think this is one of the best ideas I've seen. This would make combat so much more interesting. Maybe this could be in multiplayer too.

One suggestion.

The button to do something should be the same for everything and then you can combo from there. Like an ACTION button or something

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.

Halo is not a "Cutscene" game. It is meant to be fast smooth gameplay, it is NOT Mirror's Edge, Gears of War, or Assassin's Creed.

Because its true and you know it.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be effective. Just not efficient. For the energy it takes to lift your entire body off the ground and gyrate it around to knock out a single person you can knock out many many more people in the face with a simple punch.

We could test this out if you like. A sword match, me vs. you, except we'll create a rule that for every time you swing your sword you must first jump up in the air and spin around 360 degrees before slicing, if you fail to do so, you lose the game. Lets see how that works out, shall we?

Spartans are designed to be simple and efficient killers. There is no need to stick a grenade in someones mouth and throw them into a crowd, the time it takes to put a grenade in their mouth is much better spent simply throwing the grenade into the crowd. If anything, the effectiveness of the grenade would be depreciated because most of the force is going towards destroying the skull of an individual instead of affecting a group.

If I am up close to a jackal, I'm simply going to punch them to destroy the shield and then break their spine with a followup punch to the face. I'm not going to waste my valuable time spinning them around for no reason other than shocker value to their allies who are probably busy taking advantage of their comrades suffering and your irrational need to prolong that suffering by emptying plasma into your shields.

It just seems cheesy and unneccesary. Shall we do a backflip before throwing them? How about an added handspring? It will look cool, right? We can play golf with the enemies head using the sniper rifle! That totally makes sense when you are being shot at.

We don't need cutscenes in combat.

I made something like this a while ago, I'm not saying you copied me. I actually like your ideas some of them go a litlle far but some of them like grappling sounds cool. I went a little far on some things too and I got flamed too.

Honor Light Your Way, Our Blood Shall Forge A Thousand Generations!.

1.) This isn't mortal combat.

2.) Even Bungie doesn't make games THAT violent.

Ok, now you are just going over the top. "A backflip before throwing them"? Stop it. You clearly know very little about the real world. A spin kick will generate more kenetic energy, and will result in a more powerfull blow than if you just punched someone. As for the grenade-in-mouth thing, it was not meant to be flashy at all. It was meant to be Brutal.

Did I mention "spinning" a jackal around? No. What I said was this: Grab their arm, and rip it off. Simple. Which part don't you get? Stop exadurating everything I said.

You have clearly never heard of extreme case reasoning. Its where you exagerate on purpous to prove a certain point. In this case, I am exagerating your wants for "awesome moves" to show how silly it seems to me. Its a good tool to utilize to win your arguements, I suggest learning to use it.


You clearly know very little about the real world. A spin kick will generate more kenetic energy, and will result in a more powerfull blow than if you just punched someone.

I clearly know little about the real world and "kinetic" energy eh? Heres a little problem that you have overlooked however, if you are a spartan, and you can kill someone by punching them why waste the time doing a spinning kick to accomplish the same result?

[Warning: Following paragraph may contain a Extreme Case Reasoning. Continue Reading at your own risk.]
Its like trying to fish catch fish by using a pistol. Its more expensive, and doesn't really get you a better result than catching the fish using a rod.


As for the grenade-in-mouth thing, it was not meant to be flashy at all. It was meant to be Brutal.

Brutal for what reason? Does Master Chief hate the Covenant? Did they kill his wife and children? Did he set out on a personal vendetta to slaughter them all? No. Its all about motivation. He is simply a soldier, following orders to protect humanity. He doesn't have time to hate his enemies. He just wants to get the mission done as fast as possible. Thats what millitary training from the age of six does to a person. It creates efficient killers. So it would seem a bit odd to see a spartan all of a sudden doing these brutal things, and would make me scratch my head as the player, and destroys the suspension of disbelief that the game had maintained to that point.

Did I mention "spinning" a jackal around? No. What I said was this: Grab their arm, and rip it off. Simple


But in a battle of simplicity, just breaking their spine with a beatdown works, which is all that matters.

Then, after the said enemy dies, you hear the announcer say "Fatality!" That would be sweet. =p
