Not really expecting them to be a shield or offer any real gameplay advantage, it’d just be a nice touch.
Knife
I saw something very similar to this discussion while reading the Bethesda Brink forum. People over there are not only under the impression that there will be knives, but also and icon that tells you when melee-ing an opponent is effective.
On a side note, inneffective knife bullet blocks would be cool during the rare occasion that they did work in a game that does have them, but I don’t see them adding it into this game though.

I think they were referring to the backstab icon that appeared in ET and QW, and talking about if something similar will be in Brink.
I liked 2 hits to the back to kill on the wolf server I played on. 4 stabs or something similar to the face. It was pretty damn sweet.
As long as they have the W:ET mods Goat sound 
If not the knife as your melee it’s the gunbutt, should be fun too
Maybe they could have the funky nose BOINK sound if it’s a gunbutt to the face
Seriously though i didn’t see anything wrong with that, it was so minimal anyways in ET and QW. People make it out as if its going to be a giant sign saying “Take out your knife and stab him here to win” and a 200px by 200px picture to demonstrate. I dont see it any more intrusive that the pop-up xp stuff really, no problem with it.
