So, my montage is finally done!
It is obviously nowhere near as good the the HaloGAF 'tage, but it was still really fun to collect clips, and figure out what to do with them, and then edit it all into something I think is pretty neat. Although if I hadn't found that music, I probably would've given up on this altogether.
Uh, what?
Eh, I agree with Stalker, more than 2 hits to kill, and melee becomes relatively useless imo. 3 at the absolute max.
People shouldn't be running around just trying to melee each other to death. Requiring 2 hits to kill someone only encourages that kind of behavior. With bleedthrough, and at least 3 hits to kill someone, melee will never be useless. I think 3 minimum, 4 max is best. But 3 is probably ideal.
When you're using such a powerful melee, close quarters combat will 99% of the time come down to who hits the melee first. And in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach's case, it'll often be a trade of kills because of the newfound Fair gameplay. Sneaking around corners and smacking a nearby enemy also becomes extremely easier, and adds in more cheesy, unnecessary gunplay. AR rush melee? Aided by the two-punch death machine. Why do people want a melee that is more powerful than everything within striking distance than everything sans Shotgun-Sword? Encourage players to fire their guns and kill enemies that way, rather than pump up their melee strength and make everything become Plasma Punchout.
2 used momentum based melee, which created a fun diversion in the middle of the combat. Running and jumping onto players and hitting them in the head caused them to drop shields. Landing a perfect Brute Shot melee while jumping was an instant kill. Rockets were also a power strength in close quarters for melee. Most others were generally in the same area.
While I understand what you're saying, it I think it's more rare to find yourself abruptly in melee range of another person where neither player has taken any damage. Hypothetically, assuming it did take 3 melee hits to kill someone, and I ran into someone on the fly, I'd probably melee once, back off and try and finish the kill with weapon fire. And I'd only use a second melee if my opponent somehow managed to stay within melee proximity after dishing out some gunfire.
UKGAF this is your E3 times.
Halo 3's AR did [about] six bullets and melee to kill somebody. You need 16 all together to kill without a melee. Shows how uber powerful it made that sickening combo.
UKGAF this is your E3 times.
Melee in 2 was only a 2hko if you were jumping on the first melee, 3 otherwise. And melee was not nearly as much of a problem then in 90% of situations, disregarding button combos and power weapons.
Two things:
Wait, seriously?
