I realize that this reply will further derail the thread so I'll try to be short. There is enough cqc going on in Hawken that it only makes sense to have weapons and support that will improve your productivity. Skipping all that is said in the melee threads, I truly believe melee would raise the skill ceiling, and lead to a more fluid battles. High risk=high reward.

Why is everyone so afraid I don't understand. We're in BETA. Meaning we're here to test things. Well, give us things to test! There is clearly enough interest that the issue has been discussed from the very beginning, so Instead of arguing we could have simply tried it out long ago and that would have been that. Hell, I'd be happy to know it was implemented at one point and taken out for whatever reason instead of never even trying.

you cant try everything, before actually putting it in the game even in beta, you have to analyze if it could be or not worthy, it might damage too much the gameplay and this could be noticed from the beginning, having a melee weapon that doesnt overheat would be too much advantage to a cqc class, and many, many other things that were discussed and you will find interesting to read in those previous topics.

Resulting from that is the crushing damage (when you land on an opponent), which is hard to effectively do, and doesnt interfere with balance in gameplay (save for a couple of bugs i think).

Like i said the reason it hasnt been tried before is because the idea probably didnt pass a preliminary filter, because you cant try everything, that would take forever.

Sooooo.... when will this be released_ I am looking forward to this class =] I'm a support type person so a support class would be great for me!

And it's not an April Fools thing... April fools ends at noon on April 1st. So if this was a prank, it's just a d*ck move, not an April Fools.

Since they now have a "Healer Mech" and a rogue, they may as well come out with a Bard. . . Meet the RoBard 3000. Uses music to help his friends and hurt his enemies.

And look, a melee weapon!
