I think it’s time to have a serious discussion about electric melee and potential changes. The move is used almost constantly in higher level play (watch twitch tv for examples) and tends to reduce the game to an electric melee bonk fest.
Now I am not one of these people who just yell TAKE OUT THE MOVE (as many do in regards to DMR/BS) but I think the devs should think about making some changes to it.
Some potential changes I’ve thought of:
–Make electric melee available to everyone. (Though not a fix complete fix it will at least level the playing field a bit)
–Give EM a cool down of some type. (Reduces use)
–Give EM a charge. (like Bolt shot/PP)
–Add something that can counter it (like electric resist or something as a perk).
Your last two threads were locked for a reason, it’s against the Halo Waypoint Forum Guidelines to repost a thread after the first two have been locked.
I suggest that everybody else just report and move on.

EM is still one of those moves that seem to be in the shadows a bit.
It’s a melee that does extra damage (more or less a OHK but not always).
My last threads were only locked because people kept trolling posting about electric boogaloo and stuff. I thought this time we could have a more civil discussion.

Sorry for double post but I had an idea:
What electric melee were an ordinance drop? A power up kind of like the speed or damage boosts?
I think that might makes sense: it would be just like having a power weapon. Though we all know even a temp. weapon in the right hands, just like a baseball bat, can be deadly.

> I find it funny how I type in “Halo 4 Electric Melee” on Google and the first thing that comes up is this thread…
Really? That’s great. It means we’re starting to get the word out. I feel like one day (if it is, in fact, a glitch) it will go down in the books with the same stature of, say, the super bouncing in halo 2.
Only problem is: super bouncing was fun and this ruins the game for MLG-type players like myself.

> OP do explain “electric melee”.
Oh yeah my bad: I forgot to explain it better.
Basically electric melee is in a sort grey area right now. We’re not exactly sure if it’s a glitch or a perk or a glitched perk.
It’s a melee attack that deals extra damage and is really hard to avoid. There might me a slight lunge (a bit farther than normal melee).
When someone hits you with it you see glowy, yellowish, semi-geometrical electrical patterns. (Very easy to see if it happens to go into third person or you see it on the kill cam).
If anyone has any more info it would be greatly appreciated.
