Melee deserves A LOT MORE LOVE

[Bandeide]

Comon Guys, i miss how many times that ‘‘silly’’ blade in the front of my bolt action rifle save my ass, in fact IT SAVED MORE TIMES that the my own bots that walk around me.

now comon, it may be a FPS game, focused in shooting, BUT it,s still a war game, and in war and love all is valid. now let,s get to the suggestion it self.

------------------------------------------------------- Counter atack -------------------------------------------------------------

the current melee sistem is about the guy how frist strike, nothing wrong here. BUT has someone that pratice martian arts in youth, i can say you that anticipate a move is perfect possible in real life. so the point is. make somehow a counter atack.

how it might work. keep the melee button pressed for while, it will make the soldier keep the bayonet reedy so when a enemy soldier comes close it will strike it. simple has that. no matter it,s charging or just walking close.

i also would like when you get in counter atack mode to move, even if it had a penalaty. maybe 20 percent of the movement, since in this stance you will be invunerable to melee atacks. has when the enemy get,s close it automatic strike it.

--------------------------------------------- Situations that it mighty be usefull ----------------------------------

1. it may work in many cases, if you are behind a door just keep the melee buton pressed and when someone walks close the soldier will strike.

2. When someone is charging from long range and you anticipate and get reedy.

------------------------------------------- Conclusion --------------------------------------------------------------------

keep in mind that bayonets are one of the frist weapons you get, improving melee means we improve BRI and BRII gameplay, that not only be cool. but good for new players.

cheers.

I remember talking about it once, still think it could be added easily:

Total meele remake, it could be better

I find it ridiculous how the current meele works in Enlisted, I propose a more interesting alternative instead: Left mouse button should be responsible for slashing attacks, those would deal lower damage but could have a certain radius of damage so much of aiming wouldnt be that needed. Right mouse should be responsible for aiming your meele weapon and holding breath for a better focus. Oh wait this amazing mechanic already exists. I rather meant that this button should be responsible for…

hm . . .

Improve melee weapons

Let’s start with a proposal that will be the least doubtful of its usefulness. The main advantage of a weapon with a bayonet over a weapon without a bayonet is not that you can rip someone with a bayonet, but that a weapon with a bayonet has a charge. What if all weapons get charge? Even knives, pistols, and shovels. But such a charge will not end with a bayonet strike, but with the soldier knocking the enemy off his feet. With something like this animation. [изображение] This will immediately…

Maybe we have our Melee attack button, then a melee defense button?
Like melee weapon equipped, left click attack, right click defend.
right click (hold) will defend against attacks then attacking after defend for a counterattack, right clicking in the window of getting melee’d will parry. That is to say hold right click a second or so before getting attacked will parry but just holding it will only defend.
Maybe that’s getting too complicated but just having a defend melee button would be good.
