OMG Treason Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Credits to FaTal for this idea in the needler shotgun thread. I was thinking instead of grenades maybe we could take Throwing Knives from the COD series but implemented in a different manner for Halo 5. The Knives Spartans have are pretty hefty fellows, sturdy enough to penetrate armor during an assassination. Spartans, you could say are pretty strong aswell. Now having one of them flail a knife toward your visor would probably kill you. A headshot with it yes would be instant kill. To the thick parts of the armor however it would not be. This could be implemented in two ways. A) It would take 2 throwing knives to down an enemy spartan. Or It is only instant kill to the Head and gaps in the armor. Of course they would have some dropoff as to not give them infinite range. I view this as an alternative to lol spam like 7 grenades at you with explosives equipped. Rather picking them off in the head or gaps between the armor. Yes no maybe so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see alot of people not liking it... Mostly because they'd say it's too "CoD". And lets face it, there are so many weapons already. Where would it fit? Throwing the sword. That's the way to go. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Treason Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yeah hurtling an energy sword would be pretty fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiQuid BioniX Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yeah hurtling an energy sword would be pretty fun. I vote for this over the knives. I just don't really see throwing knives working in a Halo game. It's been done before, and I'd rather have them work on something new.

Admiral Ackbar Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I've always wondered why the knives in Halo aren't used more. They are prominently displayed on a lot of the armor. So why not use them more than the occasional assassination. Throwing knives would be pretty cool, but I'm not sure if the Halo community would be for it. You'd have to make it more futuristic. Maybe take the energy sword idea, but make energy knives?? Or something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Ackbar Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Hardlight knives would be pretty cool. But in all honesty I don't see the point in throwing a knife when you have a machine gun or something like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
