TidesoftheTempest Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) I like a wide variety of the melee weapons in warframe and I was thinking that it would be awesome if they could make a halberd styled weapon. And no I do not consider Orthos to be it. Edited February 10, 2014 by TidesoftheTempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahlak Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Jat Kittag is pretty close, but not quite. I wouldn't mind an ACTUAL glaive instead of a throwing weapon that shares the name, though >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)DragoonTamer Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've always wanted the option to have a lance/halberd or a massive shield as melee weapon options. Imagine the possibilities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angius Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yes... Halberd, naginata, poleaxe, I want those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordofTibera Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 A naginata would be everything I wanted out of a melee weapon in this game. That is all lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKhaun Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Yup. Orthos and the Reapers are nice, but my favorite weapons are polearms and I don't consider any current weapons to fall into that category. We'll see what the JK's new animations are, but it's still a crushing weapon. A good polearm weapon+animations would, IMHO, be light attack puncture(thrusts) and charge attack slash (chop) damage. Or, you know... whatever absurd(awesome) element they decide to make a blade out of. :P Edited February 10, 2014 by VKhaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeopetsMaster4432 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Halberds are the most bestest designed weapons, I would love to see one implemented.The best of spears combined with what little scythes have to offer. Totally kawaii desu onii-chan~Even the ones that are just like an axe on a long pole are pretty translucent, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haztion Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 As mentioned, the Jat Kittag would be considered the closest to one, but god knows why it's using the movelist of a double-ended spear. They mentioned a custom charge attack animation on the way, and perhaps Melee 2.0 might bring us more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTribute Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 A Spear would be nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus914 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I love this idea. It seems like spears and legitimate halberds and the like are always staples in games. They're simply always a good time. I hope to see these in the future :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of the charge attack being a hole chop downwards attack..... plus a lot of spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TidesoftheTempest Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 The funny part is that I have drawn an idea of it in photoshop for the melee weapons contest but could not figure out how to submit it in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenosInfinity Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I would like a polearm other than Orthos. Zephyr is clearly a Dragoon and she deserves a spear :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nintega Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I don't care so much about Halberds. I really wanna see a spear or javelin already. We need a puncture-based heavy melee weapon already, plus if it's Tenno made, it can finally replace the stupid Skana abominations that come from Radial Javelin.

Fomiru Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The new grineer weapon is as close as we have now, but I want a halberd yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
