In H1 and H2 I have noticed that no matter the size of the weapon the melee was always the same strength, should they fix this in H3, or should they leave it the same?

not true. Go to split screen with two controllers and melle someone with an SMG, then try the Rocket Launcher, Sentianal Beam, Brute Shot.

fix it. pistols are small and should hit weak, rocket launcher is big and should do more damage.

Yes i agree also the bigger the weapon the slower the melee. The rocket launcher has a slow melee but does the same amount of damage as the pistol wich has a faster melee.

That would probably be unbalanced. If you're worried about realism, then just think of it as if the Master Chief is afraid of dropping the Rocket Launcher or whatever he has if he swings it too fast.

Not true. If you're running or jumping and you melee with the Rocket Launcher, it does far more damage, if not a one-hit-kill on the jumping attack.

id like to have that "hit point varies on size" thing.

The brute shot melee needs to be the most powerful. It's quick and it's got a big f'en knife on it.

lol

No way is that true. Melee with a plasma pistol, then melee with a rocket launcher.

The RL will take down more health/shield.

Jumping and meleeing with any weapon does more damage.

The Brute Shot has better melee damage, obviously. Elites melee much faster with it. I do agree with the topic.

But the Rocket Launcher is a one-hit-kill, meaning they are different.

**EDIT**
I take that back, that was before the update. My bad. But this will show that they are sort of different, but not by that much anymore.
