Melee System

(Joshua Morrison) #1

Any ideas on how it will work?

I’m huge on fps having a good melee system but it seems that not all games get it right…
I would love to know if you can assassinate or how many hits it takes to takedown a target.

By the looks of it, it’s a knockdown system, but you still need to finish them off with a gun. May be an instant kill type perk for operatives, who knows.

I wasnt aware that there were gonna be perks.

From what I have heard, you can only use a knife if you have a pistol equipped (since you have a free hand to use it) otherwise, you use the butt of your gun. A knife hurts more than a gun butt, but there is no insta-kill melee. The only thing that would result in a OHK with a knife is if there is a backstab mechanic, and unbuffed Light bodies can be killed in one hit from a knife.

So you can use the knife and the pistol simultaneously, sounds good… it will be interesting to see the finial system.

I sure hope there is a backstab.

I was wondering something similar to this because in the trailer the Anger stabs the Bug. And besides one clip in a hands on video there really hasn’t been any mention of melee attacks.

As long as there isnt instakill melee I’m fine with everything I guess…

Just a quick note, I absolutely LOVE the Demoman in TF2 with the two upgardes ‘Charging Targe’ and ‘Eyelander’. It’s beautiful and at the moment the only reason I’m playing TF2. I love the damage accumulating the longer you charge and the idea of starting with lower base hp but increasing it together with your speed with every head you collect.
