'''Melee''': The act of using your [[weapon]] as a bludgeon. This can be executed by default by pressing the B button on the [[Halo: Combat Evolved|Xbox]] [[Halo 2|version]] or the F key on the [[Halo PC|PC version]]. | '''Melee''': The act of using your [[weapon]] as a bludgeon.

Melee attacks are both stealthy and save ammo. One melee attack from behind will kill most enemies, provided you can sneak up behind them. This is called an assassination. If an enemy is hit from the side or front, it may take two or three hits to kill them, depending on which weapon is being used. AI's, such as [[Elites]], [[Hunters]] and [[Combat Form|Combat Forms]], will melee if you get too close, but they will almost never attempt a stealth melee. | Melee attacks are both stealthy and save ammo.

A melee is mostly used when an opponent is too close to effectively shoot, to attempt assassinations, if the person is wielding an [[Energy Sword]], and if the user is low or out of ammunition. Assassinating (meleeing the opponent in the back for an instant kill) an opponent gives an [[Assassin Medal]], while simply beating them down yields a [[Beat Down Medal]]. | A melee is mostly used when an opponent is too close to effectively shoot, to attempt assassinations, if the person is wielding an [[Energy Sword]], and if the user is low or out of ammunition.
