How is the melee damage bleed going to work?

This has been bothering me recently, not knowing the answer to this. I’m assuming and hoping that it works like CE/H2/H3 where shields don’t have to be totally depleted to land a melee kill from the front, but I don’t know.

Does anyone know for sure (or even have evidence to support a ‘probably’) that it’s one way or another? Would certainly ease my mind a bit.

It works similar to Halo 3.

This. I love the bleedthrough system on Halo 3.

It’s better than Reach’s system for sure. I’m just hoping that there isn’t a lot of lunge on the melees, I find Reach’s melee lunge annoying.

How? Every game had a different Melee system…

Hopefully the lunges’ll have reasonable lengths. I remember the time on the Reach beta: You didn’t need a sword simply because the Hammer lunged as far as the sword and was twice as deadlier!
