Forum:Regarding John vs Locke fighting scene in Halo 5: Guardians: Difference between revisions

:True, but in Dune's case the melee attacks are much slower, to the point of types of sword play designed around fast strikes that suddenly slow to a crawl. By contrast, even without the claimed enhancement of MJOLNIR (likely due to animating this scene with motion-capture) John and Locke are still throwing punches much faster than in ''Dune''. According to [https://www.quora.com/How-fast-does-a-fist-travel-when-punching-someone here], a boxer's average punch speed is 25 mph to 30 mph, the same speed a Warthog can ram a Spartan at. A Spartan's punch speed would likely be ''much'' faster than an unaugmented boxer. I don't think it was ever the intention that ''Halo'' energy shields work like ''Dune'''s, based on scenes where John can't keep his grip on a Covenant ship's surface because its shield is repelling him or when he feels his arm's shields with his other arm and encounters resistance. ''And'' on top of that, there actually are cutscenes in Halo 5 where bodily impact triggers shield flares, {{Plain|[https://youtu.be/afMIqjYOSCY?t=1m5s watch Locke punch a Zealot dead]}}. As stuff like Elites dying from a single Storm Rifle shot in Spartan Ops have shown, we shouldn't always assume the cutscenes are the "true" reality to the gameplay.
