"Has there been ANY point in the game where you were in melee distance from an enemy?"

yes, frequently, and especially when I've run low/out of ammo.

nope

Nice rage quit earlier, TB.

ever noticed how the spade animation looks perfect for throwing away grenades right in front off you?

Thats exactly what I meant :)

It could be the same animation as the spade just faster and without it going up.

It needs to be something Ben makes, and has a very short distance on, like 2 blocks away or something.
Heck, the animation could jsut be your gun lurching forward.

I've tried the melee pickaxe in PySpades and it's terrible. Not the idea overall, just the fact that it will register a hit (as far as I can tell) against anyone even vaguely near you. You should have to have your cursor over the intended target to hit it.

I really don't see why having melee would be an inherently bad idea. It's not just in Call of Duty. It's also in many other shooters, as well as, oh yeah, real life. Nor would it neccesarily overcomplicate the game.

I think the idea of making something like G a melee is a bad idea, but making it grenades instead I think would be cool. I'd prefer the melee to be equippable just like pyspades with the pickaxe. I also think re-mappable keys would be cool, and is probably gonna be implemented soon. Even if there are bayonets and stuff, I think they should be equippable as well.

I don't hate you just because you come up with a bad suggestion :p

I like the idea of the pickaxe as a melee weapon more, that thing is pointy enough to pierce skulls.

The reason why some people (including me) want a melee weapons is an assurance that we'll have something to kill people with when we run out of ammo. (Regardless of how good we can aim whatever gun we were carrying at the time)

^ Lancer.

i hate u now :( jk but rly a knife i mean i was thinking of a chainsaw lol

@fatnotch
You worthless peice of hipster shit.Just because other people say "callodutyisgaycuzitsmainstreamherpderp" doesn't mean you saying it will make people like you or agree with you. I <3 CoD&AoS get at me kiddo.

^i was about to say that

"That's what aiming is for ponyfag, don't miss your shots."

im not fucking missing a point blank shot, the point is i shouldnt have to fire on an unsuspecting enemy and give a giant warning call to everyone in the vicinity.

"Still useless
And I ask again, "what would a melee attack/weapon do that the rifle and SMG do not already excel at?""
you mean besides not using ammo? and not creating a lot of noise?

Who cares, FatNotch, you're making it seem like it's the most horrible idea ever, when really it's not a bad idea at all. Maybe it's not a good idea, but there's really no reason to be arguing against it to the extent that you are. Calling people retards, ponyfags, etc. etc. really isn't really helping either.

Melee weapons to me are just fun weapons, I would use them whenever I'm playing with friends to have some good laughs or just use it because hey, it's just there. Pyspades does melee pretty well with the pickaxe.

We're talking hypotheticals here, fatnotch. This thread isn't about melee coming to .55, it's about adding a knife/bayonet after all of that content you're reffering to is implemented.

@Fatnotch

I never said I wanted a melee weapon. I simply said that I was killed by one. What's the problem with being able to kill somebody with a pick anyways? It's not a one-hit sort of thing. Your argument, "CALLADUTY HAS IT HURR DURR SO IT MUST BE BAD DURR" is idiotic. "Hey, wait! AoS uses guns! It's now a terrible game because COD uses those too!"

Edit: Fatnotch, your username sounds familiar. Hmmm... perhaps I'm thinking about the one that got banned for trolling?

"Has there been ANY point in the game where you were in melee distance from an enemy?
No?"

are you telling me youve never seen an enemy turned away from you trying to snipe? because if you say no im calling bull shit, and id rather hit him 5 times with the pick than waste a bullet and alert everyone where i am.

The pickaxe is like an extremly close-range machine gun on pyspades :/ I once fell into a trench being made by the enemy and I died in about 3 seconds. The tunneler didn't even know what had happened.

i was actually charging a little hill a few hours ago on a server with pickaxe melee, and it worked pretty badly, but was fun. i got close enough, so then i decided to try it out, and then started running towards it with the pickaxe

i think a melee is usually goodfor tunnel situations, i have foundmyself behind an enemy in a tunnel, and i do not want to shoot him, that would be breaking my code of honor.

i still think just leaving the tools, and not adding a knife would be the best idea

hell no

spade is still useful, even on most custom maps. besides, on psyspades pickaxe is working fine for melee so i dont see why ben would even need to make a knife.

But the game's called "Ace of SPADES"

It seems like it would be simpler just to give the spade and pick melee abilities. Players would get a melee ability, modders would make knife mods for the tools, and everyone gets what they want without remapping the keys.

It's a kind of good thing if the church was griefed. No spawn snipers dicking around up there = me being able to get to my tunnel with the least bullets in me.

renaissance is fun, but most oftenly greifed to hell, unless pyspades has roll back on it.

@Nowa

There are still a couple of custom maps that are good with tunneling like Renaissance Town. My friend and I single-handedly won about 3 consecutive games with a tunnel leading to the blue's intel. It was even more effective because the blues (and greens) were mindlessly going to the church to spawn-snipe.

bayonet would be sexier! Stabbing people.
