New Melee Attack Suggestions

[Uffz_Huib]

Fists....
The other day in Basovka I was German advancing through the trenches when my weapon was shot aout of my hands.... the Russian apparently had fired his last shot because then he calmly reloaded his bolt and "executed" me. During that short period I was wildly pressing my alt fire to punch him... alah nothing happened because in this game it's not implemented.... I should have tried to run away...

It doesnt matter,if that soldier had the option to do it,so should you;what makes a game realistic is inflicting penalties to the players,to simulate what would have happened to a real soldier in war.
I agree that the rifle is better,but I just think the option should be there,
because artificial penalties are crap...

Sure he had the option but would any soldier in his right mind do it. Every soldier had the option to go suicide nading, but did they? We in game sure as hell do.

I would actually not like to see the option of going to a melee weapon when you still have your main weapon, freedom of play be damned! In a real combat situation you would not sling your weapon on your back and use a melee weapon to make a kill.

it depends on what kind of weapon you have

if you have a bolt-action rifle and your enemy is only 5 feet away charging you with a bayonet,you would consider to take your shovel and go berserk on him instead of missing the shot and getting stabed

 

[IncredibleGeek]

Or you would fire the shot and kill him, before he got close enough. You wouldn't have enough time to drop your rifle and take out your shovel anyways.

And if you miss, you run, work the action, and shoot again. You wouldn't drop your weapon, especially when you know your enemy can't shoot back.

would be a bit difficult to work the bolt and AIM while on the move and a bayo-charging enemy next to you
we are still talking of real life, no hipshot RO

Maybe a dirty trick could be trow sand (if avaibable) on opponent eyes!! LOL

And in real life you'd just drop your gun and try to pull and ready a shovel while moving and being charged by a bayonet wielding enemy?

No, you wouldn't.

Sure they wouldnt ZBojnik but afterall this is a game,and you shouldnt have a freedom of choice over the life/death and actions of your avatar,but did soldiers stab their enemies when they came behind them?
Did people (as I often do) bayonet rush a crowd of Russians on their own?
Even if they didnt,you SHOULD be able to even if it gets you killed 9/10 times you do it...

No, you wouldn't.

Thinking about this scenario in real combat, the only thing that comes to mind is either, drop to your knee and try to bolt another round in, or rush the enemy and use your rifle to block his stabs, and push him either away or try to disarm him.

 

[IncredibleGeek]

I'm pretty sure the first thing that would pop into my mind would be "back away from the knife, shoot this guy." Maybe I'm crazy, but at point-blank, it's not so hard to shoot someone.

i would have my shovel ready and not packed at my belt

 

[SheepDip]

Be realistic, if you have a bayonet, you're gonna use it, if you don't you are going to use your weapon, be it SubMachine gun or rifle. It probably weighs about 3.5kg's it's gonna hurt.

 

[BeserkWraithlor]

People who say, "If there are shovels and knives, people will run around attempting to stab each other instead of guns." You guys are wrong. In CSS, there is a knife, but nobody uses it, unless the enemy is caught off guard, they use guns instead. In Half Life 2 deathmatch, there is a crowbar and stunrod, but nobody uses it, even in close combat.

And you would also not run into enemy fire trying to bash the enemy with your rifle, yet it can be done in RO. A simple last resort knife would be good, 3-4 well placed stabs and the enemy can be down.

I agree we need last resort weapons, but none you can access unless you've lost your issued weapon in the first place.

 

[Heldentod]

Ooor you could fire then beat him with the gun if you miss. It'd probably work better than having your shovel hanging loose where 9/10 of the time it'd get in the way.

disagree
you know how long it would take to beat a guy with a gun till he dies ?
shovel at the right spott = he

 

[BeserkWraithlor]

I think you can kill a person using any trenching or cutting tool, and hitting somebody with the stock of the gun sounds very painful. Anything but fists.
