I'm not sure if this has been hashed out before but I would really like to see some more in-depth hand-to-hand combat (melees).

Frantically pressing the B button, or BXB in the case of Halo 2, seems kind of disorganized. I don't want a Mortal Kombat remake, but I would like to see some advancement on the melee.

Any ideas?

For instance, instead of assassinating somebody, you can take them as a human shield. Or maybe a "block" melee so if somebody is running at you about to melee, you can block and throw them over the edge of Lockout.

I have thought about this alot. I think a human sheild tactic would be exelent. Maybe, like splinter cell, you could talk with the enemy you are holding.
"Why hello there!"
"OH NOES!!!"

In high definition baby!

I would like using a kick to trip them on the floor and step on them and just aim down and shoot their heads off!

umm, block yes, shield no. That would suck. And yes I would love to see more melee moves.

The human shield is one of my favorite ideas because I think it would work so well in Halo. Stipulations would be: you move slower while holding this guy. The other team can still headshot you and kill you, releasing your hostage. And you can basically assassinate the bastard anytime you want and run away. If you are being sprayed with SMGs by the other team, it still kinda hurts you, but not as bad as the betrayal-spray they are giving their teammate!!!
