Cricket bat alrdy does that, doesnt it?

^This.

The baguette was a joke. I was serious about the other melee items though.

Speaking of the cricket bat, how the *&^% is it that a cricket bat is a 1 hit kill, but I have to stab someone in the back 3-4 times to kill them? That makes no sense at all to me lol

I think a 2 day old baguette would make a great weapon. wack the enemy or make him eat it, both would be fatal.

It’s all about technique…the longer bat allows you to knock’em in the right spot for an insta-KO :P.

I’m not sure if French people would enjoy this…or take some kind of offence were it to be implemented :P.

We do need Bobby the merc with a batton.

(Silvanoshi) #27

Would love to see that :D.

(tokamak) #28

And a 6-7 inch long knife in the back of the neck doesn’t? LOL!

think axe, not stick

Would love to see a baton (a normal or an expandable one) in the game.

(Nail) #33

why ?
you want to annoy people ?
it’s a stick, a gun will make it go away

(sunshinefats) #34

lol! No it won’t! It will be worse than the cricket bat. Every time you swing it a player on the other team will just randomly die.

I thought it was obvious I was referring to a support melee weapon (such as is the case of the existing cricket bat) in complement to a primary and secondary fire arm, not as a replacement for a gun.
I’m not in favour of a melee/knife only merc. If it was implemented I don’t think I’d use it regularly. I remember when using phantom I mostly used the pistol (which was actually intended as a secondary).

Definitely need a hockey stick so I can cross check spookify in the face! :smiley:

(DB Genome editor) #37

Now that’s the proper way of using a hockey stick (vs swinging it like a bat) :smiley:

I totally respect that the class may not be for you…but that’s kinda the point. I’d like more option and variety in the choices of merc so more people have more chances to find a class that caters to their strong suits, or that they just find fun to play
In BO2 knife class wasn’t popular at all on the tdm servers, and I was often the only one doing it, but it played to my strengths and because of that I had a lot more fun. And there were others like me as well. To be sure, we were the minority, but we were there, knife in hand, wreaking havoc with a huge grin on our faces. And at the end of the day, isn’t the whole point for everyone to have the most fun they can?

Also, as we’ve all discussed here, it fundamentally changes the way you play the game. It gives you something else to think about…makes you handle situations in slightly different ways than you might otherwise, and to me, that adds more depth to the overall gameplay.

But of course, that’s just one guy’s opinion, and I understand it’s not for everyone. Again, I just think it would be fun. :wink:

(AssortedStuff) #39

I agree with what SunshineFats said above.

A melee support, a melee tank, a melee assasin. Keep the niches coming.
