I was looking at some of the old videos and newer ones, and i was observing the multiplayer shots in particular. I am a person who melees alot in halo 1, so i especially payed alot of attention to that. One thing i noticed is the comparison anitomically between a Spartan and Elite. Since elites are bigger and lankier, they should be holding things differently.
Then i looked at some screenshots, and noticed they do. look at the pic of an Elite holding the Battle Rifle in this picture here . Here is a pic of Spartan holding a Battle Rifle here . They hold them differently, as you can see. Now, think holw they would use them.
Bungie, becuase they seem to be paying so much attention to detail in halo 2, will probably give them separate melee combos. The reason for this is that it might look really awkward if they both had the same combos, becuase they are different creatures and are different sizes and such.
Here is my proof. When wert is using the plasma sword in this video, he does and upward slash in his melee combo (here is the link). in this video, when the person talking is using the plasma sword, he does a different melee combo using a spartan. (here is the link). Am i right or am i seeing things. Elites seem to be doing different melee combos. [color=blue]I'm sure that they are done at the same speed and area of damage, but they just look different[/color].
And, will melees be powered down? If you look how fast the combo is in the e3 2003 video, its fast enough to kill a spartan in 2 seconds. I believe it will be.
My my next question. Will AI controlled elites use melee combo's in Single Player?
Someone who've played halo 2 at e3 told me that there were no difference between the elite and spartan. Maybe different in the final version???
