Fist Fighting

Does anyone else think there needs to be a more advanced melee system, or at least more attack animations?

Nah, it’s ok as it is.
However fist fighting would be pretty cool. Like an action sack game mode?

You should be able to throw your guns at enemies when they run out of ammo

343 could talk to the guys at EA that make NHL lol

You don’t even know how long I’ve wanted to see that in Halo.

Throw empty magazines at people. Pick rocks up and throw them. Carry around a Banshee canopy and beat people to death with it.

Indeed, banshee debris can be very dangerous.

That would be pretty cool to see…

Aside from throwing your gun at other players, I also want to see the following:

  • KickingIt simply makes sense. Compared to a normal punch or an elbow smack, you’d have better melee range, knockback, and damage. Personally, it’s more badass to kill someone with a (reverse) roundhouse, an axe kick, or even with a flying ninja kick.

  • Using map objects / debrisWhile attacking like this may become almost, if not, just as annoying as nade spamming, resourcefulness is key to winning a fight. You could punch out a chunk of metal or a piece of stone from a wall then proceed to chuck it at your foes, you could pick up vehicle debris and smack the living daylights outta them, or pick up an environmental explosive and watch the fireworks fly.

Just pray that your enemies don’t blow up your precious cargo as you carry it towards its destination…Ouch. Then again, you’d get easy Fastball kills if you’re lucky enough.

  • HeadbuttingMay not be that useful, but it would be hilarious to kill someone like this - would work very well in an assassination. Plus, I bet some FOTUS wearers / Unicorns would love to fight like this. <em>GET SPEARED, B****!</em>

These ideas sound great. I’m imagining a battle that looks like an action scene from RvB haha. Unfortunately, I can’t see this coming into action, as the standard melee does its job just fine and I doubt 343 will go out of their way to make more hand-to-hand combat animations when they’ve recieved so much stick on their story. This means that they’ll likely spend more time designing characters and plots, (just my opinion). Don’5 get me wrong, the idea I should awesome! Hope it’s implemented, despite my doubt.

I feel the Melee system is fine as it is.
