I remember hearing last year at E3 2003 about combos when meleeing people. Anybody know if this still stands. I think there was a pretty cool demostration in the single player video, but I haven't heard anything more about it.

Yeah, ever since the debut at the E3 last year, the melee combos have been M.I.A. I would've liked to seen one performed in the multi player footage at this year's E3.

Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing myself. Based on what I've heard around the forums, most seem to think that the combos are still being tweaked. If you look back at a recent (possibly last week's) update, Frankie mentions how they had achieved a balance for the E3 multiplayer demo and were slowly, meticulously adding in new things, as not to disrupt the balance. I think it's safe to assume that the melee combos were not fully tweaked and are probably in the process of being implemented. Based on what I've heard anyway.

I also mentioned my concern involving the whole combo system but Shiska (the moderator) was quick to dismiss my concerns with a "You worry too much." What that means exactly? I'm not sure :)

Just imagine plasma pistol's melee combos. You have your fist, so maybe you could like pound the hell out of them with your fist and then -blam!- slap them for good measure. HAHAHA.

Mabye heavier weapons can only use melee once like the RL and FRG.
I dont see how you could swing them sort of guns with much efficiancy.

I got to read a lot of those Halo 2 previews that spawned around the time E3 started up- and according to them there were melee combos at the multiplayer showing.

Heres some random information for you. The only gun without a combo was the rocket launcher.

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!


That will be cool if u can Melee with dual weapons like dual SMGs and u go up to a Elite and smash his head with 2 SMGs on both sides of his head!!

No, in the demo there was no Combos, Sprinting, or leaning, these were taken out for reasons to balance the game, and probably werent all completly finished.

If you press B (melee button) while dual-wielding then you drop the gun in your left hand. So no melees while dual-wielding

No, no, no. I'm almost certain I read about melee combos in one of those writeups. But, we can't be completely sure untill we get word from Shishka or stosh. Where are they anyway? We can't run the forum with the Royalty missing, now can we?

Everything I read said that you couldnt do melee combos. Maybe they didnt try it with all guns though

Well, maybe you're right. Those weeks may be wearing on my mind...

i was reading frankies update and he said he saw the melee for the rl and it was kikass

  • 06.13.2004 1:51 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

i wanna know,how will melee attacks and combos work with dual wielding

oh i guess it pays to read the other posts more clearly. that would be knida cool to whack someone with 2 guns though. but you should be able to drop your empty weapons and fight hand to hand like in Breakdown and Riddick

What will you press to activate a melee combo? Do you press and hold B?
