Why must you post such stupid things?
Because its true and you know it.
I can spin kick you in the face and we can both see how effective it is.
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.
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.
