so should I bother then? I've been thinking about the practicality of the weapon as well. If Halo multiplayer emphasized stealth more, then maybe, but the way Halo works, this would really only be a novelty weapon secret room mb mb:eek:?

It could be used for SP, or - shock horror - another game ;)
...source is scary:eyesroll:.I dl'ed the SDK and went to the model viewer and all of a sudden all these options were thrown at me. I may (notice how obviously bolded/italicized/underlined it is?) work on a single player for CE, and maybe this would work for a level of it without any guns at all- you just knife anything that ain't human.
The problem with a machete is that it would do nothing aginst MJOLNIR armor, The machete is designed to cut through plant matter, and they are generally not all that sharp. They rely on blunt force to rip plant matter apart. Unles the weilder was putting in an incredible amount of force, the Machete would just bounce off or at most dent MJOLNIR armor. Maybe againts an elite, since they have very vulerable fleshy spots all over them, but even a spartan would simply break the blade before they cut another Spartan's armor. Now a knife focases more force onto a smaller area, and even though it would be almost as ineffective as a machete, if you hit one of the soft joint areas, you MAY peirce it. I dont kniow what that part is made of, but I think it is some thin metal alloy layers woven together like Kevlar (but much more powerful). A Spartan could definately stab through that, although hitting the actual metal armor part would either snap or simply dull the tip of the knife. It would really only logically work in Single player against flood(maybe) or covenant. But what do I know, im just a Knife n00b who cut himself on his own knife XD.
Add some built-in knuckedusters like the US soldiers' knives on DoD. You can punch them and take all the skin off their face, OR stab them! ^_^
I uploaded it to Halomaps along with the pieces of textures I made for it so far. Im also throwing in a picture of it for referance so that whoever dl's it can tweak it correctly. Now all that needs to happen is UXB throwing it into the models section. Hopefully no one will be there when he does. That would leave a bloody mess like my thumb. I ruined my mom's good table =(.
Speaking of which, didn't the Spartans have machetes in the first screenshots of Halo?
Yes.
They did until Bungie figured that a machete versus an energy sword wouldn't be very balanced in general. Also due to Halo's environments it was deemed unnecessary because there arnt any real areas where a machete would be useful.
