halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Nope, no difference at least when I play through the campaign. Both of their melees appear to be the same.

Same here, but would have been cool/realistic if Arby's melee were stronger and faster...

Yeap, no difference except that Arbiter's melee animation for the smg is different than the chief.

THANK YOU I always thought the aribter should have been faster and stronger.

You've probably tested it with different weapons. Of course you melee faster with a plasma pistol than a rocket launcher, for example. But as a non-Live modder, I can tell you that the melee time, power values etc. are in the weapon tags and not in the character/biped tags (which means that though animations are different, the values are still the same).

lol.

Why would the Arbiter have a faster and stronger melee? He doesn't have the genetically engineered super-strength, which is then boosted even more by the MJOLNIR armor, that John has.

  • 12.28.2010 9:01 PM PDT

So....Who's technically stronger?

  • 12.29.2010 6:05 AM PDT

Elites are syronger than Spartans though, I think I they're faster too but don't quote me.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Elites don't need augmentations, they go through a lifetime of military service and warrior training. They're already hench.

In case you weren't aware, SPARTAN-IIs did as well. They are the UNSC equivalent of the Sangheili in that respect.

But that lifetime of military training and warrior lifestyle can only get one so far, even the superior strength and physique of the Sangheili as opposed to the humans doesn't necessarily outmach a genetically-engineered super-human.

I think the canon is a little spotty in these details, of whether Spartans are equal to, weaker, or stronger than Sangheili. I would think that they are at least equal.

Losing internet 9/7/2012 until i don't know when. See you starside folks.


Fada beo Halo 2!

I have no idea, but if the Arbiter is slower maybe it's more powerful :D

Sorry to quote you, Alfdog, but I think we're on the same page here. An Elite is way stronger and faster than even a Spartan. (Halo melee fiends will back me up) While it felt like Arbiter had the scale slid in his direction against the Heretics (melee damage, etc), he was the same against Brutes and Flood. Just for consistency's sake, would've loved to have seen him have less difficulty against those guys.
