In ''[[Halo 3]]'' melee attacks can be cancelled by reloading one's weapon. This means that the technique is limited to using a weapon that can be reloaded and specifically the weapon must have at least one round fired off as well as spare ammo to reload with. This can be repeated and allows for butterflying in a similar manner to that of ''Halo 2''. Prior to [[Halo 3 Title Updates|Title Update 1]] this allowed for double melees but post update the melee attack could only be cancelled before hit.

Sword cancelling is also possibly in ''Halo 3'' but can only be performed by switching weapons prior to reaching the enemy, allowing one to avoid killing them. The lunging player is however guaranteed to stop when they reach the opponent and the technique is not repeatable thus limiting its overall usefulness.
