Here's my idea for a melee equipment option.. Like it, or GTFO! Joking.. but seriously.. like it. Or gtfo.. jk

With the anticipation of the Reach premier, Im keeping myself busy with coming up ideas for a game that probably wont implement any new ideas in it anyways..

Oh well..

How about a melee tag system? The equpiment piece would work like a small tracking device you would plant on an enemy while meleeing them. Planting the device on an emeny would allow you to track their movement for a brief period of time following their next respawn. You pick up the equipment simply by walking over it (just like you pick up equipment now) but instead of using it by pressing RB you would use it by pressing the melee button. Depending on their shield level, the melee would kill them or bust their shield.. either way the device would be planted.

You could either see them with an extended radar that would show their location or by a waypoint tag. You could continue to follow the tag or radar blip to find the enemy you tagged. After a brief period of time, or after you kill them again.. it will go away.

What do you think?

So it's only benefit is instituting a psuedo Revenge System? That you have to pick up? Instead of something useful?

No.. the useful part of it would be the tracking of your enemy.
