Subject: How come the spears are never used?

When we joined the covenant we took an oath, according to our stations all without exceptions,
on the blood of our fathers, on the blood of our sons - we swore to uphold the covenant, even to our dying breath, those who would break this oath are heretics - worthy of neither pity nor mercy, even now they use our lords' creation to broadcast for their lives, we shall grind them into dust, and continue our march to glorious salvation !

The Elites have Spears when defending the Prophets. Why cant we use them. We can use a Hammer and sword, but why not a spear?

Here is what I'm talking about.
Spears

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

They must be just a ceremonial weapon, not meant for actual combat, more like a symbol of respect/authority, or at least that's how I see them like.

there aren't animations of Elites or Brutes using spears in the Halo 2 disk
you can see brutes using them at the begining of the level Gravemind but is just a cinematics
The spears are never used



topic: well, i made a post long ago in reach forums i said that the spear should be added as melee weapon
the balacen could work on a cirlce, the spear beat the sword, teh srowd beat the hammer and the hammer beat the spear
sorry if I'm not clear..

well, bungie didn't care about them as much as us..

read again, speard don't have animations for anything, just when elites are holding them
thats the fist of rukt, and if you think that an animation.. well.. do I ahve to say it? ..
bungie didn't make animations for the spear, can't argument about that

i think the spear is like a uniform, like the mounted police up here in canada have to wear a red coat and a cowboy hat for cerimonies but they wear normal army r swat clothes during real work

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Because we gave up using spears and melee weapons as our main form of offensive attack once we developed guns.

so your weapon to defend your prophets are basically just for looks.. boy I would feel safe with that kind of defense.

In halo wars they fight with them.

One of the spartans throws one back at an elite and kills him.

Don't they have Energy Swords too and Plasma Rifles for that matter?
