So what you really want is a sword then? how does it make sense to extend the range on a knife? |

Either a sword, or a skill that allows you to lunge a good 20m+ easily, amirite?
because that's what you seem to be asking for |

I like the lunge Idea. maybe not that far, something like 5-10' with a lunging animation would be sweet .
I do like the vulnerability after the knifing. But with risking vulnerability you should be getting great rewards. I think the blade is slightly underpowered. But that could be me trying to knife far superior armor IDK |

The knife is fairly powerful if you invest skill points in it. |

i didnt mean a COD knife. I like the Idea of a lunge kinda Assassin Creed like not the whole pounce thing but but an actual lunge forward animation. An
One thing if they end up putting Akimbo weapons in melee should take longer. By the Gods please. |

You should have to equip the knife.(I.e. no gun out) But it should swing fast. Really fast :D |

Just no to all ideas and suggestions here. The idea is absolutely obscure, really melee combat shouldn't even be an option in the game as it is just insane to bring a knife to a gun fight let alone a gun fight which is heavy machine guns and assault rifles.
The lunge would open up windows for exploits to close ranges for other weapon use as well so no this idea and post isn't even thought out or constructive to be honest. |

Considering its useless to use a knife? better off loading a clip of a SMG into someone. I want to be able to sneak up to someone, at least do some dmg. I was thinking there would be a melee upgrade for the mid slot, but I guessed i dreamt about it. I like melee, If i could swap my weapon for just a knife. Id be alright with that. |

But no, not COD. no one hitting and jumping 20m.
Just feels like swinging at air most of the time. |

Definitely not. In a game with so many players it will cause problems. If MAG has told us anything about melee it's that the last thing we need in an FPS is a 5m sword. |

Knives in this game remind me of the "Giant Mecha Combat Knife" in Avatar--a completely useless addition that is there simply for supposed 'coolness' effect while making absolutely no sense whatsoever in the universe that it's in.
So we have multilayered futuristic armor covering powered exoskeletons with on-board supercomputers, linked to high-tech weaponry (some of which that can fire rounds at a fraction of lightspeed, others of which project high energy plasma), interconnected with a communications relay system that provides the user with a total real-time view of the entire battlefield and all their objectives...
...oh, and they have sharpened metal sticks, too!
Yeaaaaaahh... no. I'm OK with them 'staying in the game' since they are already there, but adding animations and extra skills for them and whatnot? No. |

Hmm changes in knife no, im sorry but they just dont fit in a high health game like this. For 1 the science fiction doesnt support its balance in this game. No matter how u think of it the knife is eather useless or overpowered. By the rule of combat a weapon technolgy develops as fast as the defensive technology of opposing factions. Being as all the factions in game are technically at a stale mate in tech the knife should be able to make a fairly clean slice through the armor. But given we have shields the nife would have no effect unless the shield tech aint ment to block such slow velocity weopons in which case the knife moves right through.
In short science fiction and game mechanics for high health shooters just dont support a knife its mostly a gimmick. Just put there cause it makes since for a soldier to carry a survival knife and the knife mechanic has been widely accepted to be a key part of shooters. Sadly that only holds true in low health shooters like cod |

You do realize its more than just a sharpened piece of metal right?
Knife does need some work though. Knifing out of a sprint should be possible. Range could use a small tweak. Damage is I think right on track though. |

Why no hidden blade? That would be awesome too.

What you need is some contained lazer type blade similar to a saber, which in of itself can cut through armour plating. Different colours of light given off could differentiate skill/type.
