Melee madness

Why Hatchet?

Is this the thread where we had the Atlatl?

 

No, its not. I said hatchet because it is a utilitarian weapon much like the modern army knife. Hatchets are issued with special survival packs, rather than knives

 

I've seen a guy take down 4 people at the same time with Melee upgrade. So ye, it can be useful..

 

I kinda think they should amp up melee damage a tiny bit and also reduce the giant knockback effect when you melee prone enemies....

That giant knockback is way more annoying to the attacker...

 

^ ^ ^ this + massive accuracy penalty for people being hit.

 

I say the melee just knocks people down as a ragdoll, but after 5 seconds they can get up.

Melee is just a move which incapcitates another object allowing it to be properly disposed of (I.E.) a bullet to the head.

So I say you run you hit them and while they're on the floor make them a Holy man.

 

Punch them in the face?

Easy enough...

 

Instead of holding both weapons at the same time you could make the right mouse button switch between them instantly and left is shoot/stab.
