I'm not going to try and make a long post here but I feel that melee lunge brings to many un-fair kills and is generally stupid. It would also help get rid of melee+sprint rushers.
If not completely get rid of the lunge, lessen the distance by A LOT. Sword lunge would obviously stay but no regular melee.

They need to get rid of YOUR FACE.

A little bit more lunge than CE would be fine. It takes so much more skill than games nowadays...
-
i agree the lunge needs to be toned down a lot.

I wouldn't mind if it had an auto-lock type feature for when you melee. [as in if you punch, you center onto their chest with the camera but don't actually move anywhere] I think that would work pretty well.

Halo:CE just had a terrible melee system!

Melee lunge is essential if you want a game that at least includes beat downs. I kind of like the lunge in Reach- you only take a step forward to melee, and that is if only the person is really, really close to you.

It should really be shortened.[/quote] Don't let him get that close to begin with.

I'd like it if the lung was about 50% weaker, that way there's a slighly larger close quarter skill gap, but people can still usually land melees.

Instead of lunges, they had magical melees which would hit and kill people that you were nowhere near.

All they really need to remove is the weird glitch where you could double melee even though the other person meleed too early and the animation finished before the attacker meleed for the second time.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ronan1555 Without the lunge the person you are trying to mellee could just keep walking backwards shooting at you[/quote] I can see where this would be a problem, but like I said, if it doesn't get removed just shorten the lunge range a lot. I remember I was going to melee someone who just started to use the jet-pack and he was a good... 5-7ft away I'd say and I lunge ALL the way up to him and assassinated him, that's just stupid. I'm gonna guess here and say the lunge is 4ft regularly? I think it should be shortened to around 3/4ft a-foot or at least a foot.

Melee lunge is unfair and stupid? How? And Melee+Sprinters are very likely going to be nerfed given how they are adding more delay before you can melee again into the final game. What I would say needs to be fixed, and by fixed I mean broken and the peices reshaped into a pale, grotesque visage of it's former self, is Shotgun/Sword/Hammer Sprinters.

It's stupid that I magically slide 3-4ft to my target at the speed of light and then hit them. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HipiO7 Now that is just dumb.

I agree. The Lunge should be a hammer and sword only thing. It's the whole point of the hammer and sword to be superior melee weapons. It also takes more skill to truly hit someone with your gun, like in Halo 1. Random: The melee lunge in Halo 2 was terrible. More often than not, you'd fly past your victim, fall to your death, or unexplainably go flying 80 feet in the air, after your lunge FAILED. I rarely melee in Halo 2, and NEVER if the enemy is nearby a ledge.

Lunge is only for sword. You mean Teleportation :D

good idea
