Title. I just thought this should be discussed. If you say yes, what kind_

Discuss.

Edit: I'm not demanding melee feature at all, lets make this clear. Just leaning to it to be more "realistic" from what most people say about Hawken. Am I wrong_ Hmm.

This has been debated since Alpha, and the community always comes up on the side of "NO MELEE".

Aside from that, the developers themselves have stated that they have no plans to add melee.

[KoreanDoggyDog]

Personally, I'm not sure at all. Lol, I'm for either or.

[KoreanDoggyDog]

Ok if the community says no, then I'm for Melee. Because when you overheat, what can you do to be efficient_ Besides retreating.

This is the meta behind heat management. You try to manage your heat so you don't overheat and leave yourself defenseless. Throwing melee into that situation actually reduces the strategy, skill and critical thinking involved.

So CQC is not even then 100% accurate cause there's no melee feature_ (From a  perspective.) Hmm.

They already have one. It's called the Flak. And debatably, the SMC.

If you overheat, you've done something wrong. You deserve to be punished for it.
Regardless of whether it's missing too many shots, charging into a group of enemies like an fuzzy bunny, or engaging at the incorrect range for your mech/loadout.

...we also DEFINITELY don't need 'rock 'em sock 'em robots' servers cropping up, like the fuzzy bunny 'knife only' servers in other games.

need beam saberz

@Korean, I feel where your coming from. I was one of the biggest proponents of melee integration in the alpha threads. But, the game really is fine where it is and I would suggest running Scout with the Flac to get those melee feels. (With the TOW, HE Grenade, and Flac burst you can almost instagib A-class mechs)

This isn't Gundam

i don't want no Anime fuzzy bunny in this game (yes, bad grammar intended)

This is the first REALISTIC mech game i've played... i'd like it to stay that way

[KoreanDoggyDog]

Flak is a shotgun__ I'm lost now lol. If you mean the heal/torch thing no(flamethrower ish kinda no... lol). That's more for aid.

Anyways I started this thread from a prespective and made an opnion; opinions from others appreciated.

P.S. I also played every Closed beta event(and read past forums), so stating "from alpha" doesn't matter to me. Talking for a future reference when and if they add melee at all.

FYI, weapons can have a bayonet mount.

[ReachH]

Mechs already have a melee weapon.

You can jump on them and bop them on the head for 3 damage. If you have the same x-y momentum as them, you can continuously bop them on the head for MASSIVE damage. All while still aiming down and shooting.

IMO melee combat is already grossly overpowered, and needs an immediate nerf.

[KoreanDoggyDog]

^ That's like hand to hand combat ish lol. I'll stop there hahaha.

So you are already aware that there has been literally dozens of melee threads, none of which resulted in the implementation of melee, and yet you still ask for it_

Hand to hand combat is melee you idjit...

[KoreanDoggyDog]

Before this thread gets more misinturrepted. I never demanded melee weapons at all. Just from a perspective stand point since everyone is stating 'realistic game.' From what I've been reading.

@AsianJoyKiller: 'idjit' I'm talking about a blade, piece of metal/enerdy or w/e.

which is pretty useless for a mech.

Ever seen a bayonet on a tank_

me neither.

[KoreanDoggyDog]

A Mech which moves like us humans compared to a tank, good one. ;D

Edit: You missed the weapon mount part aka bayonet. Not stating that I demand this for Mechs.

No melee it wouldnt fit theres no animations for it and i dont see it being a good thing or adding anything to the game.
