Subject: combat chains?

Bungie, are you going to make the melee attacks chain attacks? like, when you press the melee button a lot, then the MC does like a ton of different moves, and also a combat knife! yeah. what do you think it should be?

It would change gameplay, a lot of people wouldnt like it. Assasin attacks would be cool too, but same problem occurs.

i mean in campaign mode, sorry i didn't say in campaign. but still, like some sort of chain insted of atack, recover, attack. this way he doesnt keep putting the weapon back into position and then meleeing.

ooh, and a combat knife as well! i forgot to post that. and you should kick, and you should also have special assasin attacks. like, it says "Press B for assasination" and when you do wso, the MC takes out his combat knife and slices the target's throat.

i think to sort of minimize the ownage of the sword but to also make it look cool bungie should make it so that in halo 3 when u assasinate with the sword u actually lunge onto the person and slit their throat with the sword.

i just wish you could break necks like in MGS. That would own.

and with the energy sword, you can like do a fight with an elite or something yah know. like you do that and you need to block, attack, and all that stuff at the right time or else you get badly hurt. that would be awesome.

Lunging should be gone.

You're not the only one to think of the idea. There are many good ideas in this Halo 3 wishlist. More ideas are at the bottom when you scroll.

wow, i never knew there was a website like that... and of coure, the weapons should have a special knife on them or something that increases the power of the Melee attack. that would be cool, like a bayonete. (did i spell that right?)

I think so. Combat chains would be wicked for Campaign but i don't think it would work for multi player..

It may work for multiplayer if they got rid of the sword and put combat chains in..


cheers,

yeah, and the best part about combat chains is you don't need to wait for the MC to get ready agin. and it even showed combat chains in the H2 trailer thing. the guy did some combos on a brute.

In multiplayer it would suck, big time. But SP yeah it could work. I do think assassinations in MP should have a special animation though. Maybe a judo chop to the back of the head haha. Every 12 year old would shout "Juuuudo CHOP!" whenever they did it though.

  • 05.10.2006 3:45 PM PDT

i said i meant it in campaign mode. but that would be kinda wierd seeing little kids going juuuudo chop when they do the Melee attack like that. and that bayonet thing would kinda be conflicting with the Brute shot, so it would be new. and the energy sword wouldn't be as powerful.
