Light & power melee attacks

I don’t know if anyone else has thought of this already but what I mean is if you tap the melee attack button you punch/bash with the weapon you’re wielding and if you hold the melee attack button you do a kick which may or may not be slower than a light melee attack.

Any and all thoughts on the matter are welcome. Thank you for reading.

I think the melee is perfect outside of the range.

Reminds me of Spartan charge no thanks :grimacing:

One of the worse features ever added to Halo outside of ground pound and armor lock.

Oh I see what you’re talking about…I think at least. It’s that dash you do with your thrusters right? I still feel like being able to kick would be cool. After all the Elites can do it, why not us?

It’s when your sprinting and you boost forward for an OP hit. The spartan melee is perfect in classic Halo and honestly one of the aspects that should of never been played with IMO

I kinda like the assassinations. You aren’t forced to do them.

I think assassinations should be changed which they are doing. I hate that you get stuck and have to chose not to do them for competitive advantages. I would love them for the last kill of a game and really highlight it.

On your side, give that man a cookie

Always wanted different animations of melees in halo. I know from the flight depending on what weapon your holding you can have a different melee attack. I did always wanted to be able to kick or boot a grunt. Not saying i want the damage to be different or have more or less range. Once its balanced and fair. In the 1st flight in the firing range you were walking around with no weapon and it the idea of having a fist fight would’ve be cool. I think the only game i can think of that does good melee animations is apex legends. Each attack is the same amount of damage but in apex there are different animations, like for example if you jump and press melee you do a flying kick. Even when you punch in apex you do a full on swing up. Dont get me wrong halo has good animations with melee but i would like to see more than just your fist popping out and the butt of weapon as an attack. Get the legs involved lol. I wanna boot a grunt for years now, it would be so satisfying.

I guess I’m just all about the hand to hand combat. The basis of all combat. Especially if you run out of ammo.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I don’t mean for it to be OP but just a different kind of animation to spice things up a bit.

This is what makes the “off the wall” medal so badass.

I’m sorry, I don’t feel any attraction to the idea

There’s potential for risk & reward, performing a heavy melee during mid combat can render the player vulnerable as it takes time to wind up the attack.

Spartan charge also left you in an animation but it was so hand holding ( very easy to hit your targets) that it encouraged players to blindly running around corners or use it as the main source of engagement, nullifying guns and grenades.

While I’m not fond of the idea in multiplayer, I can see some cool scenarios in campaign such as kicking a brute off a mountain.

I can see an achievement where you kick grunts off cliffs or something along those lines.

It is a cool idea, but I can’t see it works in Halo’s gameplay.

Why not just bring back assassinations though

I do love the sweet snap of a covenant’s neck or plunging my knife into their jugular vein.
