Melee Ala halo

[Peacemaker]

Obby was talkin in IRC and suggested PS should have Halo style melee on all the weapons. Each weapon does diff damage depending on size. ex a phnx would be like a mace if it connects. A gauss would do alot less. A beamer is like boping uber 1337 power ranger megaultamodragonanimalzord on the head with a tooth pick.

Lol smashing someones face in with a REK

*hears the REK draw noise*

Damn hacker...

THWAX!!!!1

[Rbstr]

that would be good but the wepons are more efective when shot, hit the guy with a JH or Blast his face off with the 4 shot trick?

I rather use my knife to kill ppl with melee u would be suprised how many ppl jus stare at u when u run at them with a friggin knife.

[ObnoxiousFrog]

But imagine the TWAX which would ensue. This was really made just to make REK's somewhat useful, even in a really close scenario, and to make it funny to get Med. App. owned.

imagine getting your ass kicked with a friggin ACE or repair thing lol hell that REK would be imbarsing to be killed by.

:rolf:


I hope it doesnt provoke kids to beat eachother with staple guns, as a few angry senators keep suggesting.



The problem with this system is the jackhammer will again pwn all. Reloads too slow? No problem! Just swing it over your head like an ape with a lasso.

I changed my Halo:PC's melee to rightclick+ grenade to 5th mouse button.

With left:fire, right:secondary, and 3-5 implants, I still need a 6-button mouse for my medkits, and i don't think there is such a thing as a 7-button mouse.

Though who says you need different damages, one gun geing just a equally (un)deadly would do just fine. IMO, rifle-butt melee should do a lot less damage than a knife/actually shooting.

But think if all the weapons killed in one hit with melee from behind. Infiltrators would run rampant.

Pistol-whiping would have to do damage in a style similar to Bursters and reaver rockets, in that it must strip the armor before doing health damage. This way, it would still be only a backup attack or take someone out without makeing to much noise. Another option is that it only takes endurance from the person. want to prevent Darklight? Whak him in the head with an ACE(the thing even looks like a club).

Beamer should do the most melee damage of the pistoles, it's serated after all(and it might make up for it's over-all suckyness, this comeing from an NC infil).

I would love to be able to whak a guy in the head with my REK or MED app. Come to think of it, haveing it do only endurance damage would make the MED app useable to be able to get people to stop without acumulateing grief.

Pistol whipping an unarmored skull almost always causes unconsciousness and often causes death or brain-damage. Being hit in the head with a rifle stock is a ticket to reconstructive surgery or the morgue. Even with armor, that kind of blunt trauma to the neck could easily lead to paralysis. In this case, like on tv, realism doesn't help to foster the atmosphere they're trying to create.
