I think it would be cool if the mechs could have melee weapons like swords and clubs or hammers. It would be nice for close combat.

Devs have said repeatedly that melee will not be coming to the game. Do your research before posting topics like this.

It's not going to happen.  Devs have stated time and time again that they are not going to add them.  It's also been asked about many times in the past.

Close combat would be a flak cannon or vulcan.

Besides, it doesn't fit in the game.

We have weapons that can damage and destroy other mechs from across the map.  By the time you get close enough to use the thing, you are already at near destruction, and that assumes you even get close enough.

Why does this topic continue to pop up over and over again_  It has been raised numerous times and the answer (from the devs as I understand it) has been "no!" Just a quick forum search turned up three pages of hits where "melee" was referenced in either the "Subject" or the message text.  How about a little research before resurrecting these "dead issues_"

Im new and i was just wondering if it could happen. In all the games I have played i always thought that melee was the best part.

Nothing wrong with being new and wondering about things.  

But for future use, you should keep in mind that a lot of us have been playing since the closed betas and alphas, so there is a good chance that an idea anyone of us might have could have been covered already in the past (i know I've had an idea or two that ended up already being discussed), so using the search function of the forum (upper right side of the forum page) is strongly suggested.

That's all many people in here ask before posting a new thread, check to see if it's already been brought up before.

Oh boy how I missed this meme...

I could see a C-class that uses it's pannels to ram into foes, but that'd be more like a side feature and as best as it could get.

These are walker-type mechs and I've personally never seen any form of media where they've used melee weapons.

Yeah, you guys are being a bit rough on the bastard aren't ya_

Anyways, we actually do have a melee attack in this game. It was recently buffed even. It's called "Crushing Damage" It's basically Goomba Stomping. You land on top of an fuzzy bunny and he takes damage. The damage varies depending on the weight class your playing (C's do the most damage, A's the least).

So yes, we do actually have a *sorta* melee attack

what you do is start a new topic and on the right side of the screen there well be a spot where you can edit polls and there is a box small box in front of it click on that and there you go. If that makes sense.

Well the idea for melee has been crushed...hard.
