i like the stabing more, perhaps you could do both.

I'd like to see some kind of poison/neurotoxin for infils, that they could put on knives, or possibly use a syringe, things like unable to run, cut stam in half, slowly drain health, 2x CoF, etc.

Why would a shotgun ever need a bayonet?

While on that matter, why would an assault rifle (medium assault weapons) need a bayonet?

As far as I can tell, the only weapons which truly benefit from a bayonet are Rifles, but as there are no true rifles in PlanetSide (Bolt driver is the only one), I can't see bayonets working too well.

True, I've never seen a shotgun with a bayonet.

But assault rifles can mount bayonets, I know the SA-80 can.

I'll enter this fray with a single word: No.
Planetside is not about being able to charge up to someone and whack them over your head with your dick. It's about squad-based tactically combat, with squads of infantry hiding behind trees and exchanging suppressing fire. Or it's about wild, hundred man zergs rampaging through a base. Or it's about a team of skilled cloakers dropping a hot generator. But not the dick. Leave the dick to Halo.

Well this is for those Die hard MA users, than sometimes come up sort do to finishing up a clip or jsut need to do that one bti o extra damage to take out the HA user.

If you get through a clip of ammo with a MA while facing off with a HA, you are either fighting them from to far away for a melee attack, or they are the worst shot in the game.

I disagree. I always run out of ammo when I'm fighting people. You may say that i am a crap shot but I still get my kills.

I wasn't saying the person running out of ammo is the bad shot, I was saying that the person with the HA weapon would have to be a lousy shot to let someone with a MA unload a whole clip at them from melee range.

I could see that. I never miss with my JH, though.
