Ok firstly let me just say, I got a ps3 just for this game before this I played xbox, halo was probly my fav shooter.
In halo if two guys found each other in cqc, the most likely scenario is empty as many bullets into the enemys face as possible while rushing in to finish with an elbow to the visor.
In this game its different (as it sshould be), but no one even bothers to melee, its always better to just keep shooting/reloading till things are dead.
I think it would be awsome to make melee combat a bit more usefull. Atm it seems like there is only a small area where the damage is applied, as far as I'm concerned if u get within punching range in a 45degree spread u deserve to lose 200ish hp.
Is it just me or my lag?
Anyone else got any thoughts? |

If you want 600+ damage in each melee swing, go prototype Commando. Even the standard Commando is a beastly brawler, which is why everyone is afraid when it gets close. Nothing like beatin' bitches down in the A-I.

The only problem with using melee is the stamina use,
Stamina is precious, specially if you need to run away from your opponent...
Also, really hard to hit a good blow, I done it a few times though
Tanks 514! Cheap, fast, Indestrucbible and you see tankers telling it's balanced...

Only time I use melee is when I run out of ammo. Once, I got out of my tank and this guy is trying to kill me as I go to hack. I forgot to reload from my other encounter, I fire my mag into him, he runs around a corner, I catch up and melee him in the face. Didn't kill him, he kills me, hacks my tank.
Yeah. I try to be more careful hacking now. Also, reload > melee unless the guy has 1% HP and is 2m away.

I just had a nice Tekken experience about a week ago against a militia forge gunner. I was playing with bpo sniper fit and we shot each other few times and I started to get close. WHAM he slammed my face to pieces. I got respawned and went for a hunt. We both took out our fists and slapped each other and I finally got him down.
Kinda fun that no other player shot at us while doing our thing..
Anyway nice punches. I dont remeber the dude but I think it was something mexx somthing.

Yeah, i`ve played a lot Halo before and i miss...
THE HAMMER!!!
It would be fantastic if you can do some Combo melee damage. On Tekken 2 i know the Combos of 3 Charakters.
And sometimes (bad days, shoot down the hole day) i wish i had a charging ENERGY AXE.
Some great moves like on Bulletstorm, were you can kick away your enemy (you not have to kill them, maybe only to get time) would be very fine. Nice fights in facilitys waitin :)

Well he shot few rounds with smg towards me and I did the same but when distance was under 15 we both just went on bloodlust.

Melee is useful, when you run out of ammo.
The trick is to get them while they reload, if the melee back, they cancel the reload, you don't get shot in the face.

Melee is a last resort, not something that should be in standard use.

Lately I've been running scouts / dampened suits if I don't have a shotty or knives and a red dot is hacking something right infront of me or blissfuly sniping away, I'll give em a whack first just to save ammo/overheat, it seems to be the only practical/usefull application I've found. :(

LOL no. That tactic was good in Halo and honestly, Halo was great for people just getting into FPS MP action. But that doesn't work here in New Eden. NE is a different place. I still use melee's however, whenever I'm CQC and we both got caught reloading. I will melee you as much as possible

What tactic doesn't work? Hitting and unsuspecting opponent before unloading a clip in the back of the head?
I assure you it works better than NOT hitting them first...
But if we both know eachothers position and you mellee rush me while I'm reloading, well yer goodluck with that. :)

Okay, to clarify my post, in Halo you could melee away as much as you like. In fact, it was a viable tactic. Like you stated in OP, most would just fire and run straight at you just for the melee finisher.
In Dust, it doesn't work like that. The gun fights in Dust 514 are not like Halo. Melee in Dust is more of a last resort and afterthought than the scenarios in Halo.
And its not like you have shield, armor, and such to worry about. Like I said, it doesn't work when you think about it. Plus it's stupid to sneak up on a dropsuit of the future and kill it with a melee hit from the back. That's too trolly in New Eden.

Yeah, most of it will get absorbed by the armour and the glove. You won't damage the guy, you'll only push him back a little if you put your weight into the punch, but that's it. |

OK if you want a game that allows you to eat bullets then go back to halo. in this game you have to really use stealth to get a melee kill. Thats just how it is. |

I get the occasional kill with a melee attack but I agree it is way to underused and underpowered. It makes me laugh how nova knifes are their own seprate weapon class, you would think that ever merc would carry a blade and the melee attack would use said blade.
Waiting for people to shot "This isnt CoD". True, but still the melee attack is underpowered for sure.
The main problem is the Field of View in this game seems so small, it must be at like 80 deg. or so. |
