Not many current knives used in the military get wider at the tip. They could in 500 years. I don't see why they would, but they could.

It still clearly seems to be a knife, regardless.

Or perhaps a beacon... maybe a canteen, possibly biofoam or a grenade. It could be anything since all it really looks to be is a black cylinder/shape.

this. for all we know it could be a female pleasure toy. or santa claus.

i think playing as huge ass spartan running around with a little ka bar combat knife swinging it at shield/armored elites is silly.

Well that's true. But, why would you use it against an Elite? It would be effective against Grunts and Jackals in close quarters.

Pray tell, why was the machete cut from Halo CE?

Did they run out of time? No, if they did, they could have put it in in Halo 2.

They could also have added a knife weapon in any of the halo games easily. But they didn't. Because it makes no sense both to the gameplay and the canon.

Its Fred with a combat knife

  • 11.17.2009 3:53 PM PDT

why would they make a weapon just to kill grunts or jackels. you can already kill them easily with melee. if there was a stealth mission then im sure a simple neck break would be great.

I didn't say I want it in the game, I could care less for a knife. I'm just saying it is reasonable for that sillhouette to be holding a knife.

I think playing as a Spartan killing people with Santa Claus is much more realistic.

In all seriousness, how is assuming that the characters in the picture are Spartans any different than assuming that one of the characters is holding a knife?

Also, the OP's logic is flawed. Just because one of the characters is holding something resembling a knife doesn't mean it will be in the game. In fact, even if we knew it was a knife, it wouldn't mean it was in the game.

Its a trap!!!

I bet you if they had a picture of a Spartan holding a Mountain Dew can then people would think there is a Mountain Dew grenade. But then again people can see how silly that would be and realize that non in game pictures don't necessarily effect gameplay
