I want to hear what everybody has to say in why the melee lunge should be back or tossed like a smelly sock for H3.
Please mods dont delete. I just want to hear what people have to say.

Eh?

Well I think it should stay...because I dont know if you have ever been in a fight before...but usually when you try and punch people to potentially kill them...you might want to put some body weight behind it. Not just stand there and jab.

The lunge should stay but it shouldnt make you go flying half-way across the level if you miss...then thats the other thing, the lunge shouldnt miss either because sometimes I go to bash somebodies spine open but then it like constantly misses because its just one tiny bit too far.

They should imput a system like the one used in chronicles of riddick. That way you can properly kick ass insted of just doing left and wright hooks.

I hate these "what do you think" threads. they're uselessly filling the boards with crap. Couldn't you have an opinion and write it out. THEN ask people what they thought about your opinion/idea/theory?

at least that's useful.

H1 melee was stupid cause you could hit them even though were were like 5 feet away.

Truthfully and to be honest I think the lunge need to go. 1. it's auto assisting and the true skill system in H3 wont actually work if you have to be helped. not only that but it was better to actually look at you opponent to hit them like full control and free melee and if you missed you missed nobody got mad over it. 2. If I wanted to put all my weight behind my my melee than I should be able to just push forward on the thumbstick and if I have second thoughts I can pull back on the thumbstick and move away.

I won't lie.

I absolutely love the lunge.

It allows you to like warp around your enemy.

We must always fear evil men...
But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most
and that is the indifference...
of good men.

I really hope they completely revamp the melee system in Halo 3. Instead of just smacking people with your weapon, you should be able to have blocking, punching, kicking... you know, real hand to hand combat. Throw in a knife or something, i dunno.


If they arent going to do that, I am for keeping the lunge in... for the sake of this thread.

There should be no lunge, except for maybe the sword.

And I desperately want to see MC actually use his feet to kick ass. And I mean LITERALLY KICK. Martial arts type stuff.
