New Custom Game Mode [ Melee Only ]

(JShug07) #1

Hey everyone,I just wanted to request the DEVs to add a new game mode in the game,Only Melee.It would be sick if this mode will get added.Me and some of my friends sometime play melee only and believe me it is really fun.Now ofcourse this mode might be a bit different like you can’t use your abilities for example airstrikes,mines,Kira’s laser and all that kind of stuff because eventually it will ruin the mode,Now I don’t know how this mode would actually work,Like will you guys still add objectives in it or just let the players fight free will for 10 minutes.

melee only would ruin the overall experience of the game.

well if you like melee, then go for these games -

  1. Absolver

  2. warhammer

  3. path of exile

  4. for honor

Yeah… “melee”.

But to stay on topic, I don’t think this will ever happen. Our only hope is that SD give us one day total control on a server (rented or hosted by the community).

I really hope your not one of those people who tell everyone on the server to use melee only and kick anybody who doesn’t. That’s just annoying, the game should be played the way it should be.

Melee only is fine for some shits and giggles, but you will run into balancing issues pretty fast.

Dirty Bomb is a game focused on precise, fast and nervous gunplay. I don’t think a melee mode would fit it at all.

You should probably play something else instead if you want to play something melee focused. Something like S4 League for exemple.

No I am not one of those who asked for melee only.I am lvl 24 and have 370+ hours experience,I know how the game works.I was just wondering to add like a mini game mode

I would love a melee gamemode if the melee was fixed 100%. It works really well, when it works. Some things like the Kukri and Combat Axe are still broken. If not for that, it would be tons of fun. The melee in Dirty Bomb is unlike any other game I’ve played. Really satisfying overall.

I know TF2 had medieval mode, but it’s nothing modders couldn’t do…

its more satisfying to knife people who use guns anyway.
makes you feel superior you could dodge those shots

I’ve played in servers where everyone agrees to do melee only. As much as I love melee, it doesn’t really work. Mercs just aren’t balanced for melee only builds, and it becomes more apparent when you do play it.
Phantom dominates the meta, squishy mercs with certain abilities are completely useless, etc.
Not to mention most melee weapons are buggy as hell, with ones like the kukri being next to completely unuseable, and close range enemy collisions cause the game to explode.

Dirty Bomb in a nutshell

inb4 people would just use Kira and Phantom

Select Kira or Phantom
Never worry about losing a melee fight ever again unless your aim is on par with a brick.

Pretty sure the hatchet does the same damage and same range and knives. Basically useless.

S4 is a gun game. They dont say shooter for nothing. Only prob is that u always have the kiddies who want melee only like the guy who made this thread which makes the game hella boring. I got np with it on occasion but as a constant no. If ur here for melee go find a fighting game, not a shooter.

(Rokon2) #19

Honestly, I thought S4 League was shut down long ago. Game was pretty rad, but I could only play it with a toaster computer, so I couldn’t experience it in the best way possible.

Its still up and running, its playerbase is way down tho compared to back then cuz all the butthurt ppl who couldnt do well with guns went melee only and now 90% of all matches r melee only in a SHOOTER. S4 lost its identity pretty much and the games guna close unless the devs there turn it back into a shooter. Again melee only 24/7 is hella boring and is the exact opposite of a game based off of guns.
