I dont get what people have against melee in an FPS game? Wether it should be quick or not is another thing, but in my opinion it is both realistic and more fun to have an alternative when you happen to get up close or behind someone rather than mow them down with bullets and give yourself away.
I remember in Bad Company 2 I had this one profile called Jack Ze Ripper on which I only used my knife and gadgets such as mortar (not to kill, just to cover myself when I changed position, it was good cover). I often used to be among the top with a KD above 1.
This one time I played Rush on Valparaiso I think it was in a full-game, and I got the Ace and Gold Squad-pin with 25/20 KD. Had to screenshot it, I dont think I've ever had a greater adrenaline rush while gaming than I had during those 20 minutes.
Anyway, that was just for fun when I had pretty much finished playing the game in its real fashion and wanted a challenge.

It says "39" kills below, never got what that was, maybe they counted in assists in that.
And to those who you see are really bad at going melee, just think of them as free kills, it wont hurt- Melees are the ones that are at a disadvantage.
