Machete
From Halopedia, the Halo Wiki
| There is more information available on this subject at Machete on the English-language Wikipedia. |
The Machete was a human melee weapon that was going to be added in Halo PC. However, it was a pre-Xbox render that was deleted after the end of the production.
[edit] Deleted Material
Machete is part of the Deleted Material cut from the Halo series.
When developing Halo: Combat Evolved, Bungie faced numerous prototypes during the pre-production and considered cutting down to a certain number of objects for the final bit of Halo: Combat Evolved.
As such, many aspects of the story such as vehicles, gameplay, design, and story elements didn't make it into the final version of Halo: Combat Evolved.

[edit] Theories
- A possible reason for the Machete not being in the Halo games was that you would be using a sword on enemies wearing strong armor. If you were to strike them, logically, the sword would just bend, or even break, unless it was made of titanium or carbon.
[edit] Trivia
- It is possible that the Brute Shot's blade was Bungie's modest way of compensating for the machete's deletion.
- The Energy Sword was probably going to be the Covenant counterpart of the Machete.
- It could also be a variant of the Combat Knife.
