This is the way of Dust 514.
victory is sweet but losing is bitter. you wouldn't die so much if you pay more attention to the mini-map.

I dont really see a point to it either. You cant really sneak up on someone unless they're complety oblivious to the mini map and once someone sees you I'm pretty sure you'll be dead before you get to knife them. It would also suck when you trigger the animation while still in a fire fight, You'll pretty much be completly open afterwards.

and drawing is bitter-sweet

Stealth modules will come in and the dawn of the assasins will come......

That's right.
one day the DEVs will introduce cloaking modules to the Recon dropsuits.

If you let a enemy get close enough to melee you then HE deserves the OHK.

Just strolling about then BAM! 10,000 Isk gone because of a fast recon.

But you wouldnt stand a chance if he was cloaked and not on your mini map and very fast as recons are

I am a Killzone 3 player and I constantly have to deal with OHK melee, especially from Infiltrators that runs faster than any class, and I assure you isn't frustrating at all.
Also if a scout runs at me he can't shoot back so eventually I will take him down before he gets to me.
In Killzone 3 I melee kill 1-3 times per match max (if I go for it) and I play on TDM maps which are small and so encounters are more frequent: rely on guns in Killzone 3 and you will have far more kills believe me.
Also Dust 515 maps are really enormous + we have vehicles + we have armored players, so melee kills are even rarer here: I melee killed trice in 30 matches.

Melee is a very occasional thing in FPS and as such it must not frustrate you, ti must be satifying and OHK are the most satisfying.

BOY! Y U NO RUN FASTER?!

I like the idea, but it should be a skill you eventually unlock, like when you train your hand to hand mastery to max.

I was strolling! I should be able to stroll in a battlefield without being in danger!

I forgot to tell you earlier but you din't steal my idea...we both where inspired by Killzone 3 which IMO has the best melee system in any FPS multiplayer.

Make me the co-author of the suggestion and we are even...but honestly I am just happy I can help to eventually make finishers come true.

WFC has great melee but there maces/swards had a far higher reach then the knives we have here here.
Also whne it took 2 hits to kill a giant robot ti was believable...here the knife is so weak that heavies goes down in 4-5 hits :(

In FPS with humans is preferable to have OHK melee because if you don't it's inevitable to end up having "dancing melee" scenario.

....no quick animations, not instant kill as in Future Solider, but animation in which we stab the enemy many times...more times in case of heavies.

There should be some type of assurance that you made contact with a knife attack. Something like a new sound effect of a knife cutting into flash or a metal to metal type sound. Considering the game is still in development, they can even add a new graphic (i.e., a linenew of blood coming of the enemy, etc), however, I feel sound effects of would be sufficient.

Additionally, what about the idea of having a 2 or 3 slash combo with the knife by pressing the button multiple times, thus reducing the time between attacks when up close and personal... thoughts?
