Subject: Why was the machete taken out of the game?

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?
Black Tower

Because a piece of metal wouldn't be able to cut through a Spartan's (or elite's) armor yet alone do significant damage. Burning hot plasma blade > stick of metal.

There's a funny comic explaining this online somewhere, but I have no idea where.

Is this your comic?



And to remain on topic, think about it:
Every elite has the strength to kill with an energy sword, and it's efficient.
Brutes for the most part are strong enough to lift and use their gravity hammer, it's a heavy hitter.

Not every human is strong enough to do damage at close range with melee. That's why the shotgun exists.
