Melee attack

[DviddLeff]

Basically, with every gun in the game, the user can bash the enemy with the butt of the gun.

Each gun does the same amount of damage, so as not to make it unfair, or overtake the knife as the melee weapon of choice.

[Polgara]

that could work, especialy for sniper's, very few people actualy try to defend themselves from attack with the sniper rifle.

[Redford Blade]

I wouldn't mind seeing that, especially if it was a simple to use function. I've often been in a close range gunfight, run out of ammo, and could have won if I'd been able to inflict even 15 points of damage.

[Ubu]

YES!!! If only they would make the Halo style rifle bash! If you've ever played a sniper and if you've ever been attacked, all you can really do is snap off a shot with the sniper rifle hoping your attacker has low health. If they don't and you did manage to hit them, you won't have enough time to reload or switch weapons and you're dead. Snipers might actually stand a chance with attackers with the rifle melee attack :)

I would love that, maby you would press something maby 6 when you have the wepon out and for like the sniper rifle he holds it by the barrel and uses the thing like a bat i would run around just for fun with a sniper rifle with no ammo beating people.

The button would obviously be configurable, Id have it as one of the many buttons on my mouse, for slapping down NC JHers B)

[Tiletron|Hyncharas]

Absolutely brilliant, DviddLeff, just coz i don't have any ammo don't mean I can't give anyone a headache!

do you guys thinnk halo & PS are around the same time period?

[Earlydawn]

Well, totally different cultures / technology. Also, I think PS is around the year 3000, if I'm not mistaken.

But yeah, melee attacks with weapons would be great. Maybe even give them a nice screen blur effect to give you time to reload or run away.

Well yea if i where hit in the head by a big pice of metal i would have a cuncustion (cant spell).

I think the best feature you could possible have would be the ability to stop reloading and smack with the gun(Like Halo). Have you ever had it set on auto reload and died when you could have simply switched weapons and lived?

The ability to interupt an action you were previously doing would be invaluable to those in close combat.

[Cass]

turn off auto reload and get use to reloading all the time with R.

[Redford Blade]

I think Ubu is referring to changing your mind after you have already pressed "R". That would be more realistic, and I'd certainly love it.
