Over the years since Halo very first came out and started sweaping the gaming world i have been thinking of cool things to add to the games as i play with my mates. (As have most of the people paying halo). Out of all these ideas one, occurs to me the most. A knife. You dont know how many times ive snuck up behind someone or been reloading in close combats and been wishing for a close melee weapon at the touch of a button (other than the plain melee attack) I was just curious how many people would like to see a knife in the game is all.

Why do you need a knife when you can have a plasma sword? Or s shotgun? Or an assault rifle? The knife can't even penetrate armor ,let alone energy shields.

Darn Mataya your idea isn't very popular ( nice to see you again ), in my opinion, on first glance the knife appears to be a good idea, though when I think about it no, with energy sheilding and all it just wouldn't fit in.

You ahve your knife, and I'll crush your skull with the handle of my pistol. A mellee attack on each weapon is alot more versatile then a strictly mellee weapon, the sword carrier is always getting kill when their taget is out of range of the lunge.

(Yes nice to see you again Reconciliation) That is true the energy shields would be a problem but the humans will most likely be working with the Covenant in Halo 3 so maybe a hybid of the sword could be made to suit smaller forces such as the marine. Maybe an Energy knife?

A kife is a dumb idea for the following reasons:

1. It can't go through armor so thats a no-go for mulitplayer.
2. It could possibly make Halo loose its feel and make it feel like counter strike.
3. It will be just like the sword...Which is a horribly unbalanced weapon and shouldn't be in multiplayer in its current state.

And guys there is always the fact that if the humans do form an alliance with the covenant god knows what we will be fighting in Halo 3, Maybe they wont have energy shields. I know the flood dont.

Im just saying make things interesting by bringing in the Human equivilent to the sword. And i dont think anyone will ever mistake halo for counter strike.

...only in The Flood

Why do you need a knife? A) you have the sword and B) A punch in back kills someone anyway!

I said I don't remember any futuristic fps that features a knife, besides, Star Wars Republic Commando happened a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away

Well you can count it as a futuristic game but I haven't played it.

I'd be tempted to call the knife in Republic Commando more of a wristblade than a knife =P Though about the combining of technology thing... If the Covenant Rebels and the Humans to create an alliance, I find it highly unlikely that in the hectic events that are transgressing ( invasion of Earth etc... Elites getting massacred ) I doubt they would have time to sit down, and create hybrid weapons.

I know you can hit people but it would be more interesting if you could hit them with a knife. I think there needs to be a change for the meleem And some kind of knife would do the trick i think.

Whilst we're talking about melee, maybe they could add a few, new, interesting melee animations =D

Thats an idea but im just getting a little worn out with the same wack with the but of the gun. Alrhough being an Elie and doing the melee attack with the plasma pistol always brings enjoyment as the jaws of the elite fly open as if he was letting pit a war cry :P

The covanant and the humans are not going to join together. The elites in Halo2 NEVER assised Mastercheif. Aribiter helped sarge because he was in a big scarab and could blow him away. Even when MC was with the Arbiter with Gravemind the Arbiter wanted to kill MC. Also, in the final levels as MC you had to kill elites. If anyone allied at all maybe only the Arbiter would join the humans but I doubt even that.

I dunno but people arent getting the fact that I KNOW THERE IS A SWORD AND I KNOW YOU CAN MELEE but. I just want something different.

i dunno i think a knife could be a cool idea, there were always knifes in the books. ind they would be good for things like grunts, jackals, and the flood. elites would probably even have a problem against cheifs strength. you remember that the energy sword is almost just as effective even when its out of juice? a knife would be a bonus because it wouldn't loose energy like the covenant sword and it would be awesome for sneaking up behind ppl. it would be about as affective as the pistol melee. but if they made it like you snuck up behind ppl and grabbed them and slit their throats, it would feel a little bit like counterstrike. so it might be cool, it depends on how its used and animated.

Dude are you kiding?! At the end of Halo 2 when the monitor is describing to keyes and johnson that it is the arc that activates the ring, the arbiter walks in right behind keyes and johnson. Along with the other Honour guard in the room i think the arbiter could have easily disposed of the two humans if he had so pleased.

actually sarge would have been a VERY tough kill considering that he's invincible.
