First of all, I was talking about a generic melee attack, so the animators would only have to do one animation. To me it would seem weird if a man without a gun, facing a man with a gun, would simply punch him. It just doesn't work... I'd rather see him make a full blown attack with every resource he has, not with a precision punch. If he wants to win, he needs to stay close and keep the gun away from his face with any means he has at hand.
And yes, attacking a man with an MP40 or even a rifle from a distance would and should be madness. I'm talking about those situations when you're in a corner, your gun is shot away, and a guy steps right in front of you! You're within kissing range, and he has an SMG!
Running isn't an option and on the Eastern front neither is surrender (never in computer games... a shame) so kill kill kill! All that can save you now is a red haze in your eyes and a final suicidal attack with every resource nature granted you. I'd like to have that option then.
So no, I'm not advocating for powerful melee attacks and jumping kicks so that people would run around bashing each other. It's a game with guns, so shooting people should be the preferred option. Any unarmed melee attack, if implemented, should take minimal time from the devs to create, not a month of combo-building and another of animating kickboxers.
The helmet thing was just an example of what desperate people can do. I don't really want it in this game.
