There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

I never tested it, but didn't the spiker/brute shot do more melee damge in Halo 3?
regular melee does 70 damage.
brute weapons (all of them except hammer) do 72.
(official figures).
and to OP:
you're suggesting melee to be like in ... hum... the best game of the trilogy so far with the best maps.
aka H2 melee.
and I can't agree more.
Hn. I haven't played Halo 2 in sooooo long. Hell, I wasn't even an online participant at the time. Is it really that much better working?
I am only doubtful because I wouldn't know what it is like in action. To me it just seems to promote bunny-hopping like an idiot at close range (something that tends to get annoying. Bunny hop + AR/Beatdown combo = annoying)
BR and all, that is pretty normal. But promoting the same with weapons like the mauler and AR would mean a whole lot more really cheap deaths out there at the hands of some squeaky guy named 'XxXI Iz R1pp1nXxX' or whatever.
halo 2 is very similar and yet different from H3.
a regular melee (standing still) would do maybe 50dmg.
running melee would do 60.
jumping melee would do 70.
being able to press A before melee was a decisive move in a fight, and it required being able to multitaks (fight, dodge, calculate damage you do, jump then melee, all the same time).
it separated the noobs that just AR+melee from the good people who could do more.
it sucks you never played that game online. I found it so much more balanced than H3, and the maps were a million time better. literally.
Yeah. My family was simply in a terrible bind when that game was still big. I am ashamed to admit H3 was my first real online experience in the Halo world.
I played a lot of H2 with friends, but never online and we were all terrible at the game. Most of my time was on Campaign.
Anyway, I guess I see how it would be cooler. I support the idea. The more I think about it, the more potential it has (At least until it is adopted by the crowd that relies on beatdowns and cheapness for kills)
