'''Melee''': The act of using your [[weapon]] as a bludgeon. This action 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 enhance the stealth of a player and conserve ammunition. One melee attack from behind (an "assassination") will kill most enemies in both [[Multiplayer]] and Campaign, provided you sneak up behind them and melee them in the back. Although this tactic is successful against most enemies in the Halo games, assassinations are not always successful against [[Halo 2]] [[Brutes]] on Legendary. | Melee attacks enhance the stealth of a player and conserve ammunition.

If an enemy is hit from the side or front, it may take two or three hits to kill them, depending on the enemy and weapon being used. [[AI]]'s, such as [[Elites]], [[Hunters]], [[Combat Form|Combat Forms]] and most notable Halo 3's [[Brutes]], will melee if you get too close, but they will seldom attempt the stealth melee. The way a melee works is by breaking bones and damaging organs and tissue. An assassination works by breaking your opponent's neck or spine, resulting in instant death even with an overshield. | If an enemy is hit from the side or front, it may take two or three hits to kill them, depending on the enemy and weapon being used.
