Back in Halo CE, we had MC twirling the pistol after a beatdown, and jabbing people with the needler spikes. In Halo 2 all we got was boring pistol whips and butt beatdowns.

SO what do you think MC should do with each gun when you hit melee?

IMO:

Rockets - Removes rocket from chamber, jabs it in opponents eyes.
Battle Rifle / AR - A Bayonet for 17th century skewering.
Plasma Rifle - Chucks it, useless bloody weapon.

OMG!!! Gaming For The Fun Of It In The UK and Europe!

The OMG Community Montage - a unique Halo3 DVD montage.

Don't try arguing with idiots. They'll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

pfft. you've missed out the most obvious one and using the pro weapon of choice too: The needler!

The obvious move is that the needler should double as a shiv: On a melee the Chief pulls out one of the pink crystals and stabs his opponent in the forehead with it, preferably pinning a plasma grenade to them in the same move...

that would be 'l337'.

The Beam rifle: Overheat it, then melee - you should be able to use the round bit on the side to Brand your opponents. Cool.

Plasma Pistol - no point. No one uses it anyway.

Go to your room!


...Well I'm glad that worked, because those would have been terrible last words.

The brute shot could be used to whittle a rudimentary spear from nearby wood supplies, allowing the Chief to kill in an environmentally friendly manner.

I never understood why the MC scruplously avoided the good ol' knee to the groin.

they should make a plasma gun that has half a sword as a bayanette attached to the front.

How about beat downs like the one from the e3 Halo 2 demo!
MC Hits the Brute accross the face and then with the butt on the top of the head and it knocked him out so he put two bullets in his chest while he's lying there.

How about he hits the opponent with the back of a needler, and most of the needlers get stuck to the enemy, depending on where they hit.

You know they will add more melee animations than halo 2 and make it more random. Halo 3 is good, so they have to make the melees as good as possible.

Wakka Wakka Wump!
No I freaking told you to cut the hose off, if i told to pull it off then i would have said pull it off. Now you broke the AC you dumb ass.
Me to my mother.

honestly i would rather a boring,fast hit to a grunts head then a time consuming spin of a pistol or use the needler as a shiv because ur would lose ammo to it

I think MC should have a combat knife and should coldheartedly dissect his enemies organs with it.

I remember when the first "gameplay" trailer came out for halo 2 master chief uses melee combinations against a Brute to do a straight kill, they should bring that back i thought liked uber cool

Aggreed.

Its annoying - especially on Live with longer Meele Animations, because it takes longer for you to return Fire, the BR Melee for example, he strikes them quickly, but puts the weapon back in its 'shooting place' at a snails pace, which can make your Melee attack completly pointless.

So, I want a short and fast Melee attack.

Like with alot of aspects of the game, if they can't do better, they should just bring back all the melee animations from Halo 1... In halo 2 they felt soo weak.. they had no *ooomph* if you know what I mean

ya the meeles in H1 were better. Each meele had its own king of meeleing. In H2 they were all kinda the same

Yeah, the punches in halo 2 seem like little taps that make people fall over. I mean, while a 2 ton punch is powerful, it sure doesn't look like it, with MC standing there and slowly swinging the weapon. It should at least look like it hurts, such as having MC lean forward or take a step as he punches.

Lets see you run around and try to pistol whip 3 guys and after each hit you do a little stunt with your gun. Lets see how far you make it.
