remember in the E3 trailer for halo 2 when the MC combos a brute with his battle rifle...somehow this brilliant idea never made it into the final game so i hope it has with halo 3

i trust bungie to be able to tune it so that in the hands of a skilled player it will be very effective and less so in the hands of an unexperienced player. imagine that an overshielded sword man is running towards you and you quickly do a side jump, punch him in the head and quickly land to more blows before he even knows whats going on.

on a side note. i belive that the sword lunge should be removed and be replaced by increased speed for the sword carrier (the elites in campaign rip when they have the sword) and always a one hit kill

Read the stickies and post your comments or ideas about weapons there. Try not to eat up forum space with topics that could be covered in a dediacted thread for them. It's congested enough as is round here.

I don't like the idea. When you're that close to an enemy, the last thing on your mind is figuring out which buttons to press to make a combo. Plus, most buttons on the controller already have uses. So you can't exactly have any button combos.

Halo CE......(sigh) the good ol' days......

“Go, stranger, and to Lacedaemon tell that here, obeying her behests, we fell.”

yeah if they include them it should probably just be a two hit, cuz if you think about it that three hit combo takes a long time, combat time wise, to perform and probably wouldn't work to well if you were fighting a target that was moving....

That's true. That's also why the energy sword has such simple uses (melee and lunge). Bungie wants the focus on their guns.
