Melee animation improvements

Commanders, in the recent SITREP the CM team mentioned that we plan to improve melee combat.

We are updating the animations of charge attacks, with bayonets and charge capable melee weapons, buttstrokes, standard knife attacks and the idle animation with knives.

Additionally, melee strikes will become more varied: from buttstrokes to punches.

Attacks from a prone position will also change; instead of striking with the buttstock of their rifles, soldiers will strike with their hands, bayonets or pistols, choosing the most convenient method of attack from that position.

These changes and more will be waiting for you in the upcoming major update!

This is cool but it’s just cosmetic, real gameplay improvements are always welcome.

Hopefully you add some cool melee stealth takedowns like BF.

So far I 'm liking the newer animations.

These all look great! I hope these recent animation improvements mean that we will one day get better walking and running animations. They look really stiff right now

An attack so strong, it might even take you to an Alternative universe.

Any news on fixing a major game-breaking bug plaguing the game since the latest update? The “Game Found, Waiting for Connection” appears almost every single time I queue up for a game. Literally making the game unplayable. It has been here for a week already.

It would be nice if we could get proper parry mechanics when two players swing their sabers at each other.

Improve the bot melee.

You made it worse. Now they seek you out to go melee you along with instantly doing it in cqc.
