In Response To: Re: Caste Off (Narcogen)

: Just a few points: Tartarus' weapon is melee-only. He carries no projectile
: weapon. When you're on one of the rotating platforms, or he is stuck on
: the geometry, he cannot kill you. This limitation makes sense within the
: context of the boss battle, where it is YOUR goal to kill HIM, but the
: game doesn't really want to kill you-- it just wants to make your task
: extremely difficult. This limitation on Tartarus' part is so outlandishly
: unbelievable that the only reasonable explanation is that Tartarus' use of
: this weapon fits the gameplay Bungie wanted to have for that boss battle.
: To the extent that one can cherry-pick elements of Covenant culture to
: support his use of that particular weapon and its characteristics, it is
: justifiable-- but this is the putting the cart before the horse.
Not taking sides, but even if it's not used as such in the final battle, Tartarus showed us his hammer is not melee only. He can use it to gravitationally attract objects (343GS, Miranda) as well as forcefully repel objects (Arbiter). This has offensive potential as a weapon.
