poop

Let's say that we have a knife that only can be used in melee range (not like the sword), and it has more ammo/endurance/battery (or whatever..). for example, the sword can be used 10 times, and the knife can be used 20 or 15 times for balance issues.

just an idea, no flaming please :)

EDIT: OK! lets say the knife is a shield removing/armor destroying engergy device! :D

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Stop making topics about crap that already exists.

As yourselves now days, what melee weapon do people use on a battlefield? Answer? NONE. Sure, every soldier has a knife but it is hardly used as a killing weapon. Its use is more of an all-around survival tool.

Perhaps for campaign. I could see it being useful for finishing of grunts / jackals, but it would be completely ineffective against shields. It would be like trying to slice a rock. I don't really see a point quite honestly. The energy sword fills the same role, but it's more effective. We have plenty of close ranged weapons already.

The knife is used in other games besides CoD. And you do understand that this will not be the last time you hear of people wanting the Combat Knife in Reach? It's popular and probably will be included in Reach, whether or not it's used in only a cut-sceen or if it is used in actual gameplay.

Get over the fact that people want to pioneer ideas from other games into Halo.

mabey the a knife could take a grenade slot, and be no more powerful than normal melee, just faster and with a dash like the sword. also no ammo, its a knife

Wow. You honestly want me to get over people stealing from other games and putting them into Halo? Why don't you just call Halo, "Gears of Halo Theft Auto IV: Modern Warfare"?

I'm tired of people like you that completely reject change. I'm not implying that Halo should become class based or feature a character who's name is Captain Price or anything that will totally alter Halo into another CoD rip-off. Just somethings that might give it some more fun and excitment.

Halo won't be more "fun" and exciting if you steal ideas from other games.

Well, I have no clue who had the first idea of putting a knife into their game, all I know is that it is used in multiple. Halo can take one idea, and that one in this case would be the knife. Not really anything too drastic.

Okay, that's my argument.

Here's my argument: Why would a bunch of super-powerful spartans need a knife? Why should Halo steal ideas and concepts from other games so it will be more "fun"?

guys, melee? we use our guns to bash brains in, thats all we need, a knife would just be stupid

  • 10.25.2009 1:11 PM PDT

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

If it was bulletproof then no spartans would die.

If the armor was indestructible, no spartans would die.

Lots of spartans die in Halo.

Thats a video..- the Modern Warfare part..
But anyway, I agree, if anything, it would be like a sped-up melee.
