However for those of you saying melee is bad in fps game.. stop being so self righteous.. Many the time in Planetside I had infiltrated an enemy base, I had my rek, I had emp grenades and I had a pistol no spare ammo.. I relied on knife for kills it was silent and the shotgun pistol wasnt...
to those saying 1 hit kills with knife I disagree, should always be an element of danger so killing in 2 Hits is good enough
and quick Knife makes more sense than Baynet or rifle butting as a universal melee attack since everyone could carry one on thier person but not everyone will have rifles..

On about page 5 they went into a side track about pre-meditated stealth kills with knife being totally acceptable.
We're talking specifically about the
QUICK knife doing a lot of damage or potentially outright kill.
And I'd love some sort of power sword for the MAX like those sword guys from HALO. They looked cool. But no "one button to equip an item from my belt and stab them in the throat and they die instantly and then re-equip the same item i had before". Or else we can have quick grenades, quick medic grenades, quick swaps to our pistols and other weapon (Holsters permitting) Quick engy turret deploys, quick scope sniping, and quick whatever else I've forgotten.
I even think blocks and ripostes similar to Skyrim would be acceptable. Some sort of riot shield and baton/cattle prod arrangement. But you need skill to time the blows and range and stuff. Skill, not keypresses. Otherwise i'd play wow.
