The way I see it. CoD is O.P. when it comes to using a knife & halo has the hit or assassinate from behind.
During the beta I had to stab a titan in the back of the head 3 times & a warlock 2 times to kill them. I'm a huge fan of being rewarded when I get the drop on some one. It feels like I'm only rewarded for shooting instead of being sneaky.
*edit for clarification:
performing a melee strike, while flanking your target, should be treated like a skill shot (all classes).
time wise: 1hit vs. 2-3 hits
(outside of beta cap & hunters sub class)
destiny is a game trying to not define a class for specific rolls. people can play all classes as: snipers, shot gunners, grenaders, melee juggernauts & sneaky assassins

Yais. It would be badass beating up a fallen and then as a titan decapitating it with your fist, only to watch its soul fly from its body Or as a hunter, getting hits while it's not looking then sneak attacking him with your blade stabbing it multiple times then diva pirating it once more And finally the most badass could be the warlock, after getting its health low, you could force push it to the clouds, and depending on the element, igniting it only to watch its corpse fall to the earth
