I really don't think that a knife would be necessary. It's possible that if you used it too much or struck too hard, the blade would break. And that would stink. Besides, melee is enough. I mean, a 300 lb. cyborg hitting you in the jaw with enough force to dent tank plating is plenty damage enough, don't you think?

Yet another point: The human machete/knife/thing wouldn't be able to block plasma swords, so that you couldn't really get into an awesome sword fight. The Covie blade would just melt through the steel.

so how far do you think you would get with a human knife? a steel blade versus energy shields and armor. thats why there is the plasma sword.

Theres only a few reason to having a pure melee weapon people lets state some. In part 1 at the start of the game you had nothing and I didnt like that made me feel useless and all I could do is run : P but for all you know at a point in the game you may have to use some kind of melee weapon because you couldnt take your shell weapons with you or what ever. Your going to be able to sprint in the game so that means you can fully put away your weapons so maybe you can than have access to a type of hand weapon or fists. The plasma sword is energy but so is a vibro blade or a stun baton like the one they were going to put in in the early Mac version.

Shields block energy/kentic but a shell would have the same power as a plamsa round one in the same but different in style. Shell ammo effects shields dont matter kentic is kentic force no differance. Yes the fact remains that every weapon is melee at the push of a button and thats the end of that, but now that the plasma sword is in the game the jackel shield has a chance so mixing in a type of pure melee weapon with a ranged weapon makes sense. Im using 2 handed weapons so now by holding something for pure melee it helps for the fact of not having granades and slow reload and and less accrute fire.

Too me if they add a type of human pure melee weapon or not is fine by me. The rocket luncher is in the game and so will be the plasma luncher but they serve the same purpose but through different means like all the human/covent weapons in halo its fair ground I say. Like if the jackel shield is put in than the humans should have a type of solid shield but used a different way, Speical forces like SWAT and GIGN use shields today and hand to hand weapons because you never know if the situation will call for it.

Rainbow 6 have weapons and pistols but its not real in the fact that when your out of ammo what now? you cant even pick up another weapon and that fact shows me that for a game stating its as real as it can be they still limit you in a dumb way?

What if in halo you had to pick your weapons at the start and not be able to pick p anything else? than halo would not be the greatest game today that it is, if halo didnt have the ablity to use melee with any weapon than hit would limit it even more. Not having to select a dumb ass knife in a FPS is the dumbest thing to me your wasting time getting the damn melee weapon to kill the enemy and in turn die from the time spent getting it.

For the record you should be able to blow of limbs.... or at least cut some one in half with the plasma sword.

Also, how sweet would it be if the next Halo was similar to Splinter Cell, in that it was more stealth based, maybe the Master Chief without armor... i don't know, i'm dreaming i guess...

A machette is a stupid idea I mean it couldnt get through the covenant armor and even more so how often today do you see soldiers using knives in the year 2552 there would be no point also 1 melee is enough you can get your fill with plasma sword bungie should spend time building better newer weapons other then a stupid butter knife.

This is Halo not Counter-Strike. We got the plasma sword so why would we need one anyways.

What is the use of a combat knife, or even a machete? A knife would probably be less than half as strong as a plasma sword. Plus since we already have a plasma sword, what is the big advantage and use of a knife? It would be like making another almost identical pistol, except it would have the damage dealt to enemies cut in half.

I see no point for a knife what so ever, but thats just my opinion.

I would honestly cry if thats what Halo 2 turned out to be, do you know how crappy it would be, Halo 2 is an FPS! not some dumb stealth game! I know theres going to be some stealth, but nothing like splinter cell, which is a good thing.

And on the knife bit, why the hell would you want a knife, it would be worthless trash, it would be only effective on grunts because of elites shields, and if a plasma sworded elite was running at you with a 3 foot long super heated plasma blade and you had a rusty knife, who do you think would win. This post is incredibly stupid, you should die for bringing it up.
