Halo 3 Gravity Hammer - Best FPS Melee Weapon Ever?

"This is the real way to beat Tartarus, screw the banshee, anyway make sure you have a sword. When you first get past that first birrage of brutes jump over to the platform where Tartarus is and crouch behind one of the first little hiding spot, make sure you are behind Tartarus so he can't see you, pull out your sword, make sure he will be distracted by trhe other elites, when he goes for the lunge to kill one of your allies, come up behind him, make sure you are close enough to him so your sword doesn't lunge, repeatedly tap the right button and the game will glitch out and Tartarus will not be able to turn around, 30 seconds is my record. if you need further instructions reply and i'll try and explain better."

You almost had me feeling bad....now I find out that it's just a cheat.:|

I've beaten tis game exactly 96 times. The sword does not harm Tartarus under normal circumstances.

And this was while all the characters were still going throught their scripted voices.

I mean jeeeeeessh.

I wasent lying after all :roll:

I mean labling me as a 'fakeboy'. WTF. Thats apalling. Dont see me going around waving a sign saying 'lem fanboy right here people'. :roll:

I want to see people get blown up into chunks. Limb loss is nice too, have not seen anything in recent times to show that they have taken that direction though.smokeydabear076

How can chunks fly apart when the armor encases the chunks? In order for a "chunk" to fly off a Spartan, the armor covering that chunck would have to detach somehow from the rest of the armor. That is nigh impossible.

Honestly, there would be no benifit of me lying anyway, about a freaking boss fight. I mean thats petty.

I can understant your situation, and to have played through the game many times, and not had the result fair enough - acknowlege your apology, but I mean you could have goolged Tarturus fight and sword, and it would have saved all this trouble...

And I mean labling people.... I could have ended up posting this :P:

Whoops :P

Nah Just Kidding, its all good now :P

Being able to slice zombies in two, and have them crawl after you was very cool though.

I don't think chunks fly when people get hit by crowbars, but it happens in Halflife and a lot of other games. Games should be about fun and technicalities should not prevent them from doing things like that. Not saying that Halo without gibs is not entertaining, but if it did have that feature it would be more entertaining and to get to the original point of me saying this to begin with, a heck of a lot more visceral/personal.smokeydabear076

Also it's unnecessary usage on the engine.

Yeah that's true. Halo doesn't gofor the "visceral/slaughter-filled/blood-and-gore/chainsaw-massacre" action that many *cough*generic*cough* shooters do.:P

Also it's unnecessary usage on the engine.

I need a video before I can make an opinion.Dreams-Visions

Mauler - Brute Shotgun

Flamethrower

Gravity Hammer

Elephant - UNSC Scarab aka Jawa Sandcrawler

Prowler - Brute Spectre

Hornet - UNSC Helicopter

and more...

so much new stuff confirmed I want to see.:cry:

Who knew this thread would turn into a fist fight? Lets turn it up a notch... The elephant is the best multiplayer vehicle ever concieved....wolverine4262

Tell me the game and I go buy RIGHT NOW

Although I though we were talking about melee weapons...

For that, Crowbar. You don't underestimate the power of the crowbar. It will kill your children...

The Gravity Hammer is funtional and versitile, like an IPHONE.

CROWBAR

[QUOTE="musicalmac"][QUOTE="l-_-l"]At least the crowbar is more realistic.Spartan070

Crowbar = 2nd most mundane weapon ever after the baseball bat.

Don't like my opinion? Tuff, deal with it, and press on. The world (mine at least) doesn't revolve around you. The sooner you realize that, the better off you will be. The bottom line is, Half life is alot my realistic over all than Halo. I stand my my vote of crowbar, so press on kid.l-_-l

"Kid"?:? I'm not even going to address that poor assumption, lol....

Anyway, I was not even disputing your opinion. I admit the crowbar is far more realistic by todays standards. I was merely agreeing with musicalmac that I prefer to have things in my games sometimes that stretch beyond the realms of what is real and possible today. Driving the same car I own in a video game is not that fun to me, I'd rather drive a car that I don't have access to in my driveway.

When I say the crowbar is mundane, that's because it is, I really do have one sitting right next to me. That's all I was saying, just giving an opinion in turn.

Only geeky video game characters wears a crowbar in combat. Seriously, the crowbar suck. Stop being anti-halo and Half Life fanboiz.

:lol::lol:

The crowbar is legendary n all (i had the "in crowbar we trust" sig for a whiile). but if u were running at me with a crowbar and a struck the ground with a huge hammer that sent u flying, i dont think ud try that again.

Crowbars make baby Jack Thompson cry.

therefore Gravity Hammer FTW.

I like gravity. And I like hammers. I'm liking what I'm hearing. Plus...

:shock: Damn.

OMG!!! It's functionality is a shameless ripoff of the Shield Gun from UT 2004...

Quote from Planet Unreal:

---

The Kemphler DD280 Riot Control Device has the ability to resist and reflect incoming projectiles and energy beams. The plasma wave inflicts massive damage, rupturing tissue, pulverizing organs, and flooding the bloodstream with dangerous gas bubbles. Thics weapon may be intended for combat at close range, but when wielded properly should be considered as dangerous as any other armament in your arsenal.

TIPS: If you charge up primary fire, you can do a rocket-jump with it. This causes splash damage, but if you hold down secondary as you release primary fire, your shield can absorb some of the damage.

Secondary fire is a shield that reflects most weapon fire. It bounces back energy weapons without draining (pulse and shock blasts).

You can also use the shield to break falls from high places and prevent falling damage.

When you're charging someone down with this weapon, don't try to just run at them. It's very hard to catch anyone that way. Use doubledodge (dodgeforward and press jump at the top of the dodge) to close the distance much faster.

Halo rips off stuff again... In case you haven't understood, the primary fire on this weapon knocks people back and explodes them if you charge it enough and can blast objects out of the way.

You're not whacking people with it, but it is melee (2-3 meters range) and has all of the gravity of the gravity hammer. You can hit vehicles with it and it does knock them back. It just lacks the big hammer part... But gravity whacks, shields, blasts, that's already done.

Lol when will this end....

This is where the Gravity Hammer design and abilities list was derived:

Behold, the mighty Fist of Rukt.

By the way, production of Halo 2 started in 2001...

I bet in Swords vs hammer matches the swords would win because it is faster and can throw granades but the hammer still sounds cool.MgamerBD

Did you hear? The sword is being completely re-worked! The B button and the R trigger now produce totally new attacks, each with their own purpose and funtionality. There is even some sort of parry system now in place that Bungie is calling "clang" for now.:shock:

Here's the link. Look for the heading The Pen Is Mightier No More.

Sounds like fun!
