New melee weapons

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

So I was just dreaming about halo, which I do every night and thought of some cool new melee weapons:
1:forerunner sword
2:katana from h3
3:h3s gravity hammer back
4:brute hammer, a gravity hammer except its red, spiked, and has slightly more shockwave to it.
5:battle axe
6:machete
7:the tyrant, a huge melee weapon in campaign used by very high ranking brutes that can smash through doors and other things that block them from you, very frightening NOT IN MP unless spawned in forge of course.
8:bayonet, changes the looks of assassinations, does not affect speed or melee damage in any way, obviously attatched to your gun as a purely cosmetic attachment.
9:party blade: energy sword that makes that halo reach YAY! sound and confetti and stuff comes out when someone is killed with it.
10:party hammer
11:flame blade, energy sword that catches your opponent on fire after death and has awesome assassinations.

While some are interesting and fun to have in the game sadly, the won’t. From reading this certain ones would better fit when activating a skull. Out of the ones you suggested it would be funny having number 9 as a skull.

Machete from MacWorld Halo: CE.

Why four gravity hammers?

I have a few standards when it comes to melee weapons.

  1. No mundane stone/metal weapons. These can’t pierce thick power armor. That means no bayonets, machetes, etc. The energy sword is made of searing plasma. The gravity hammer crushes targets with a powerful gravitational field. This is why they make sense.

  2. They need to be distinct in function. Not just reskins of existing weapons. The energy sword and gravity hammer are capable of separate things.

Which is why I don’t support any of these.

I’d like to see this. It even folds up so we can carry it on our thigh just like the Energy sword.

But would it ever work?

8

I’m pretty happy with what we currently have in the sandbox. None of those ideas seemed like they would be real playable weapons. The katana one made me chuckle. Throwback to H3.

9

The bayonet seems ok, but everything else seems kinda pointless and/or redundant IMO

10

A forerunner melee weapon I’d like to see.
Maybe a whip of somekind?
Explosive whip?
I don’t know. But no forerunner sword, we already have the sword.

Or have a bottle of some super liquid like N.Brio in Crash. Drink it and go into a hulk mode and beat the living yoink out of everyone :stuck_out_tongue: just joking

my honest opinion ?
Eleven times no.
Halo does not need any more melee weapons & definitely
not more “fun” weapons. the sword & the hammer are enough.
just adding weapons for the sake of variety does not make sense
& it does not improve anything.

besides that, most of them would not even fit into halo.

I’ve always considered the shotgun a melee weapon. Especially when fired directly into the face of your opponent.

> I’d like to see a weapon that sits on top of your forearm and generates a sliver of energy similar in shape to the shield generator, but not nearly as wide compared to its length. It would be able to function as both a shield (on the flat side) and as a sword (on the edges). I have no idea what you’d do in terms of gameplay; I just like the idea of such a weapon.

Something like this would be cool. I would like to see the Jackal Shield as a useable item/weapon that can perform a shield popping bash at close range.

I would also like to see some lower tier melee/close range weapons similar to the mauler. There could be a weapon (energy stave/promethean hard light blade) that provides the lunge of the energy sword but requires two hits to kill an opponent sort of like an augmented melee attack.

This is the second weapons post you’ve made today. And they have all been shot down. You should just stop. It’s pretty annoying and all the ideas aren’t thought out. Especially because you say the brute hammer would be a brute weapon… that’s what the original Gravity Hammer was. No Elites use the Grav Hammer. So no to all of these and no to the C4, Tomahawk, and all the other horrendous weapons you keep trying to come up with.

Not to mention the fact that the Halo 2-3 shotgun almost always required a melee to get the kill unless you were close enough to breath on them.

I think the goal was to fog up the enemies visor so they had less time to react :slight_smile:

I just want to bash someone with my HLS. That’s all. Kthxbai

EDIT: Actually, I would LOVE to see the energy cutlass in game. A jagged, pink, crystalline blade that explodes when you assassinate somebody. That would be pretty frickin sweet. Phear teh pink mist!

If we’re here, I thought what if 343i make an assassination for Hunters? Like Chief did in FUD.
Althought, maybe they are easy to assassinate but it’d be cool.

What about something like the power fist from Fallout? It could be a melee weapon for the UNSC and operate the same way as an energy sword. Also it could have a neat effect when hitting someone it sends out a shock wave that sends them flying.
