a correct, belivable melee system is my wet dream in any FPS. Im sad the team dropped that melee system they talk a few post ago, i mean blocking? is there any fps that has that? none I know at least.
I mean, IRL you have all this possibilities, you can push your oponentso he loose balance, try to dissarm him, charge at him with a knife,take his weapon away with a well placed butstock hit, charge at him and tackle him, drop your gun(drop, not switch weapons) and grab your knife in a moment of dessesperation and try to kill him before he chambers the next round.
from all the studios that make fps that i know, tripware are the ones that always make me go WOW with their features and details. It will be nice if we could see that old melee system in the future, a bit polished and easier to use, with small tweaks etc,etc
this is the system Im imagining, feel free to smack it down xD:
-
normal melee (butstock, attached bayonet, punch with granade?)..- this type of melee will have 2 options, slash or a dry hit, and its based on hitzones, a slash on the arm will make the enmy loose his weapon,a slash on the legs, slower ,etc. a hit on the head, will make him dissy (turn speed reduces, like when you get blinded by a flash granade in cod) you can finish him or keep hiting him until he dies xD.
-
blocking.-a dedicated key to block incoming attacks, if you manage to hit it in the right time, you can block a melee attack or at least deviate it to make it cost less damage or nulifie its effects. if you block at someone that is not attacking you, you grab him, or you get into this hand to hand combat where you both struggle, i dont know how exactly one of them will win, maybe you have to twist to one side and the other to the oposite, this is where maybe the stats may take a part, if you are an better (more xperienced soldier) you can have a sighly advantage . if the attacker wins, the other player falls (with or without weapon, dont know), and has a short time of incapasitation, where the attacker can kill him with a weapon or a knife. If the defender wins, the othe rplayer gets push back and has a short time of incapasitation, where the defender can kill him

melee weapon.- well....yea a melee weapon xD, lmb attack, rmb...mmm grag him to cut his troath? (only if you do it from behind), mmb can be a melee of the melee weapon, so if you get incapasitated by a push or a butstock, you can use it to kinda defend your self, not very effective but... w/e.
to note, if you hit the number of the weapon once, you keep your weapon, you then pull out the knife/shovel/spate/stick with nails. if you hit it twice, you drop your weapon, and pull the knife rite away, you save time but loss your main weapon, used in those desesperated moments where you both missed and he is charging at you xD.
so what do you thing?
