Not to pick holes in the idea, but we dont actually know if throat slitting would kill an Elite =P I agree with the whole animation thing though, personally I would prefer it if it didnt go into a thid person viewpoint to watch the animation, though it did look good to the person performing it, the victim and those who may be watching.... Maybe a ceremonial stab in the back or something.

A knife is FULL of opurtunities. Angles, animation, Damage, Effectiveness.
All i know is that when i have an empty plasma rifle and a shotty with precious few shots left, it would be handy to whip out the old knife and have at them. I think it would be a new factor of fun, especially on Live when your buddy is flyin at you with a knife.

the only way the knife would work if it was a plasma knife.

Id like to see a new animation with the plasma sword.. if u r close behind the other guys back the mc will stab the other guy through the back and you see the sword sticking out of the guys chest and pick him up while he's impaled and then you drop him and he slides off ur sword. now THAT would be sweet.

No knives in FPS's are associated with crappy games (IMO) that have come out over the years and that would lessen the value of Halo to me and many others.

besides his fists are more powerful.

Not really because if there were a guy behind you with a gun you would be to busy doing the animation and the guy behind you just kills you. But like if you would run up and stab him in the back in 5 sec time then that would be okay.

well, i still say that a knife is not a bad idea. they aren't only for crappy games. splinter cell had one, and that was a pretty frickin good game. like i said, it would depend on how it were used. but a plasma knife would look pretty -blam!- in my opinion. your running around with a little purple stub of an energy sword? am i the only one who thinks thats a little bit retarded sounding?

  • 06.04.2006 11:04 AM PDT

Who needs a knife when you've got the melee attack with whatever weapon you've got?

A knife just seems like it would be superflous.

Bad Idea.

  • 06.04.2006 11:11 AM PDT

I don't think there's a place for it - think about it, energy sword is a 1-hit kill, melees are a 2 hit kill. Where does the knife fit in? If it is more powerful than a standard melee, it can't be as powerful as the sword.

No point. We have enough close-combat weapons, and the knife would just be fluff.

true, but in the books their standard issue. a good knife is always nice to have. the sword isn't always available, and the melees are stronger in some weapons than others. plus if your reloading your weapon it stops it from reloading when you melee, if you had a knife, you wouldn't have to worry about that. plus a knife is just -blam-ing awesom! you mean you've never wanted to walk up behind a grunt and jam something straight through their skull? like i previously pointed out, thats just a waste with an energy sword, and a melee doen't go into their cranial chamber!

If the melees for your regular weapons work just as well, why bother with the knife, which doesn't have the benefit of possible ammo down the road? As I said, there would be nothing really wrong with it, but there is just no purpose. Anything that a knife could do, the energy sword or a shotgun could do better.

I don't remember any futuristic fps that features a knife


In the The First Strike and The Fall of Reach, the spartans use combat knives.

But I dont think it would be good for halo 3.

I think a combat knife would be good for Halo 3. Why do people keep on saying it would not penetrate armour? How come bashing people in the games penetrate their armour? I think it would go through their armour. Besides, it would be an equivelant to the sword.
