Wait, what?
Oh, not literally, of course!

I can see two players constantly pressing B while blocking the other melee from his/her opponent.

Duty, Honor, Country

no it would cause endless melee fights, then whoever had the better connection would probably win, and then people would complain and etc....it would all be just a big mess

It would probably end up like when you clash energy swords with someone. It could be endless....

i mean it still damages you but not as much as a ordinary melee attack

Halo 3 beat downs with longer melee battles.

it just seems stupid that some people would want to be pummeled in the face twice and die than at least have a form of fighting chance

I think that the melee damage should be reduced.

i choose maybe. If anything there needs to be a way of dodging melee's[crouching/jumping] or melee needs to be nerfed. As it is in halo 3 moving into melee range is almost an assured death.

well this could be a way of doing it if your caught guard then your unluck

Nope never in a million years not to be a pain about it but no.
Meleeing is like one of the biggest things in halo its like one of my top killing tools. ANd if you add a block it would kill it.

I used to have 30s in Halo 2 untill they reset the ranks :(

Positive vibes.

Well I mean yeah that'd be pretty cool if they did.

  • 11.05.2009 2:57 PM PDT

Not blocking exactly, but what about reduced damage? I seems kind of strange to die if you are punched twice.

  • 11.05.2009 3:04 PM PDT

(;3=

the melee should be like in odst where there a many melees instead of just one or 2 (im not sure if the melee power was lowered in ODST or if they gave the brutes more health)
