For the love of god why wont the pummel damage be lowered. Everygame the other teams TOD is melee. Its a joke.
Boom ball and all people want to do is sprint to you and double pummel
Because Reach has a “balanced sandbox” or in other words, you can’t kill someone fast enough with anything to prevent them from herpderping you.
Because Spartans pack a mean punch?
That’s never a problem for me… But usually I kill people before they can get close to me. 
Faster kill times with the utility weapon drastically reduce the effectiveness of herpaderping. Why hello there ZBDMR.
I wish the melee damage was set to Anniversary settings in all playlists.

I hate it too OP. I hate it too.
Mlg has bleed through and a zb dmr. You won’t get double pummeled in their as much.
I prefer to AL then EMP then pummel, it saves me time =P
People cant aim, so instead of improving they try to get kills the cheap way. CoD style
It’s better than bleedthrough melee kills.
Here’s an idea.
Don’t get up close?
Let people get close enough to kiss you, they -Yoink!- slap you instead. Do you
a) Get better and stop it from happening
or
b) Get on the forums and whine until the devs change it.
Pick b! Its the Community Choice!

I’ll admit I do this in Team Snipers on small maps. I don’t just sprint double pummel though. I usually weave my way to the enemy while attempting to kill them with my sniper rifle, if they are still standing by the time I get to them, I punch them to death.
Most times I only have to use this tactic for about half a game, at that point I can aim half-decent.
Reduce melee damage to 50% of base. Double pummel becomes quadruple pummel. Or at least 25% reduction.

Here is the problem.
Sprint.
combine that with the lack of the ability to aim and you have your average halo reach player. I can’t tell you how many times Iv’e seen players with more pummels than kills with weapons in a first person SHOOTER.
It pisses me off to no end because it takes zero skill.

The forums are here for users to show their discourse. If a user wants something changed, he can voice his opinion right here. If I want plasma pistols to shoot pink instead of green I have the ability to say, “Here’s why I think this should be changed. Discuss.”
I’m not saying it is my right to voice these opinions but if the developers didn’t want out opinions and discussions there wouldn’t be a forum in the first place.

I think 50 percent is a little dramatic. From what I have seen, Anniversary Classic has a much better beat down. It takes three melees to kill someone without shooting. So, you are less likely to just derp around with your sprint and double melee players.
Example, I shoot twice and melee, you’re dead. I melee once and shoot twice, you’re dead. Sounds much more skillful than “I just run straight at you and melee twice, you’re dead.”
