Tactics Tips for Melee Combat

[Gomer Pyle]

when i get behind an enemy, i prefer to shot them down from behind, safest way :O

Yeah, that's the safest way. Sometimes, though, there are other enemies nearby and I don't want to give away my location.

] avoid the dance by shooting your opponent prior to the dance

I avoid the dance if I can but it's not always possible. Now that bolts don't automatically reload I can try a hipshot before dancing. Sometimes I hit, sometimes I don't. A few nights ago I was helping hold a farm on Hedgehog. I ran around a corner and encountered three or more Russians. There was no chance to run away so I tried a quick hipshot and ran into the middle of them. They couldn't shoot without risking a TK and I was stabbing for all I was worth. I took out two before I was killed.

I try to mix up my movements and not just go in predictable circles.
