Everybody is psyched about Reach, but they also want a melee weapon. The Combat Knife has been reduced to millions of no's, but I'm here to tell you about a new weapon: The Static Knife.
You can stop reading here if you hate my idea already, but don't. The Static Knife could be regular reinforced titanium blade, except for blue sparks running on its surface. The reason of these Blue Sparks: Shield Draining. It would be like a holdable Power Drain. Except, instead of an instant shield draining hit, you would charge it. When not charged, little or no shield will go down, and the ammo for it would still run out. Half charged, half shield, and fully charged would be full shield. It could take 5 seconds to fully charge it. It would take up a weapon spot, but it would be worth it.

Advantages:
Meleeable Power Drain
Can take shield.

Disadvantages:
Takes up Weapon Spot
Runs out of ammo
Charge.

Now, your opinion: Hate it or love it? I don't mind if you flame or troll, because it would just be a simple 'no'

Edit #1:

Now, your probably saying: 'WELL, the armor for Spartans is uber, how'd that work?' Well, I just thought that myself, and heres the answer: It wouldn't break on shields, since it has the same concept of the shield, but once the shield is gone....It could have a 25% chance of breaking and you losing a weapon. Also, once out of ammo, it could still be used on grunts and jackals, but once hitting shields, it melts, once hitting armor, goodbye.

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

It's a decent concept, could use some work though.

but here's a melee weapon everyone is sure to love (or else!) And it's part of Halo canon already, sort of.

I lol'd at that, but no offense. I can kind of hear Srgt. Johnson saying something 'I stabbed you, damn dirt brute, think about yourself or friends, and you hurt!' Or something like that.

Also, thanks.
