Really liking the melee

[Actin]

I really like the melee system currently in RO2. I sucked very badly at it in RO1, while in RO2 a properly performed melee is not super hardcore.

When picking the bolt I use melee far more often in close combat and sometimes whith very nice results. I don't know what changed dramatically, I am thinking it is the swinging movement and wider hit area.

And the melee scream when sprinting is just plain awesomeness

middle mouse is melee?

By default, yes. I'm not accustomed to using MMB for melee, so it's taking some getting used to. I keep crouching when trying to melee, lol.

Did manage to get my first melee kill last night, though. Felt rather rewarding until my victim's buddy stepped around a corner and mowed me down with his automatic.

I changed almost every button, my melee is the thumb button on my mouse. Works really well having it on the mouse

Am I the only one who find it funny that the melee animation starts as if you'll stab and then suddenly you swing your rifle?

This is why we need bayonets!

It is fabulous running into a room with three Russians, bashing one, hip-firing another, and getting mown down by the third. <3

Yeah I do like the melee, but earlier I took a single pistol whip and died. I mean come on, even Chuck Norris can't kill a guy with a single swipe of a pistol.



P.S. Chuck Norris loves RO2!

sometimes u have to hit ppl 6-7 times before they die of melee.. i only tried it with mp40 .. perhaps its weak

 

[FlyXwire]

I too like the melee mechanics of RO2 (I can actually do it now).

 

[MrWhitby]

one thing that bugs me is that you cant run while in melee action like RO1

The bayonet will be real cool, if he can do a twist and slice, or aims for the head and pins them to a wall, maybe needs to use a foot to pull it out.LOL

It's efficient alright. Someone just killed me with pistol punch, and I had MP40.(out of ammo)
I actually felt happy for him, it was quite epic.

You know what would be really f*cking kool, is if you can knock a guy out with melee. Think about it, you run into a room as one guy is bashing somebody to death while he lays helplessly KOed on the floor.

The effect on the receiving end could be something like the screen goes blurry, then dark and the last thing you hear is the muffled beating of your enemy finishing you off. But if he doesn't make sure your dead, you could get back up after several seconds, with a wobbly screen for several seconds and then your back to normal.

This extra layer of melee fun would only of course be possible from a melee hit to the head.

Beating a guy in the back of the skull is very satisfying.

This is actually really good idea for non-bayonete melee mechanics.

Thanks, I decided to make a thread about it in the Ideas & Suggestions forum. Check it out here. Let them know you want it in the game and just maybe someday we'll have it.

press your meele button only very shortly and you will do a fats punch while you still can move, doesn't do as much dmg ofc

I got melee'ed today...injured my arm. My point-blank mosin shot from the hip did a lot worse to him though.
