No they'd be too good. People wouldn't stop using them. Nova swords so much better then ARs that they'll be nerfed useless just because they look better.

Nova knifes with slower charges/attack speed but bigger range / span

This idea is NOVA approved

That's stupid, why would you just assume something like that? Like for real, why just fly off the handle with so many inane assumptions?

The nova knives are basically what he's talking about, except they charge faster, hit twice and probably do more DPS than a sword would. All you would have to do is exactly what you do for knifers already. Casually walk backward and keep firing as they desperately and pathetically try to cut you.

I'd want to see all the races get melee weapons before we start making variants of the one we have.

This isn't Halo bruh

I also want to know why I'm not stabbing at people when I melee with knives up, why must I always do the scissors lunge?

Let me just shank people.

Please?

It makes more sense, considering the dropsuit is power armor. You'd want to stab vital spots since it would give you the most damage for the energy used. Slicing an armored foe with a dagger is kind of meh, but shanking would require more realistic animations and attention to physics.

Seriously, this is a futuristic shooter. Knives (or small cutting tools, however based) willl always have a place on the battlefield. Swords are a step backwards. If you want a first person sword game, go play Skyrim (Seriously, if you haven't played it, do it. It's awesome)

If I could modify a heavy suit to hold more armor and house a small afterburner for forward lunges, I think I'd be mad not to grab a big ass sword. I can eat shots because I'm in wicked heavy power armor, and all I need is one good swing to give someone a splitting headache, so to speak.

Swords died out because there hasn't been a reliable defense against firearms.

Enter super suits.

Come at me bro.

Actually, hold on, I'll come to you.



Worst case I'll do it with my MTAC

@Maken

Aren't you the forum authority on Nova Knives? Any insight on why we can't just shank/stab? Why always the scissors lunge?

Just assuming you're the best person to ask since you've probably read/posted in ALL of the Nova Knife threads.

If you want to do that with your heavy, I'd suggest a big ass lance. More durable and a better point. Little turning capability while boosting (you guys are used to that ) but enough power to show those damn LLAVs who's boss.

Minmatar: Looks like a piece of metal with duck tape for a handle.
