Halo: Combat Evolved ultra fanboy.

I was just thinking, Halo 3 should include a GoW melee system, where there would be specific parts of the weapon (in GoW it is a chainsaw, H3 would have its own thing) to make melee more interesting and useful. Maybe one of the guns could have a bayonet-esque device built in or something along those lines.

What do you think?

bungie does hav that. Human weapons have a Stock that is very useful for meleeing to. The Brute Shot has a Blade.

Sounds like you should be playing Gears of War instead.

the brute shot has a big blade on the handle

I will play GoW, but Ill like H3 better.

Anyway, maybe what i want is something SIMILAR to a "combo" where you could stab an enemy in the back to kill them (for a sneak attack) instead of just hitting them in the back with the butt of the rifle. It would be more realistic (a one hit kill with a melee attachment).

As to the Brute Shot reference, although it is there, it does not affect the melee attack and it is just as strong as a pistol melee, so it is worthless.

not true. Brute shot melee and rocket laucher melee are slightly more powerful than the ohers. Excluding the sword of course

The brute shot kills with two melees on the ground, and one in the air; the pistol does not.

Sorry, I was misinformed. Still, the blade is not used enough. Like I said, what I'm looking for is a "move" (or something) that would be used during lethal melee attacks. i.e. stabbing an elite in the back and slamming him into a wall/ off a bridge. This would NOT make ALL MELEES LETHAL, only LETHAL MELEES more COOL LOOKING.

You should be able to hit people with the needles of a needler again.

how about a plasma rifle with a small energy blade on the bottom so it does more damage when you hit. similare to that guys handguns from BLADE 2

it would be cool if when get close to a brute, you can grab his head, pull it in towards you, then shoot right through his skull. Or take enemies has hostages. pretty much as shields.

Exactly the thing I am talking about.

a gun that shoots knives, blades, or saws.
you really need a close combat battle knife to use in "moves", like dictator bob says, for dispatching ememies


yes, a combat knife is exactly what we need. all the marines have them including ODST, why not the chief. it could do as much damage as regular meele but could be faster. and elites can have a similar object
