Considering me3 combat will improve melee, I think there should be melee weapons too. Since the sentinel can create a "technological armor", why not a "technological katana" to slice enemies?

Just a humble suggestion.

[Clonedzero]

that'd be cheesy as hell.
lets give the adept some biotic throwing stars too huh?

[Black Raptor]

Don't all classes have a unique CQC ability? Maybe one of the classes already has some sort of sword.

[LordEurope]

You want to know why melee weapons are not used anymore? Because only idiots bring swords to a gunfight.

[Homebound]

sentinel's melee should be a gigantic omni-tool fist.

I have NO idea why, but that comment suddenly made me think of Grunt's line:

"I'd never stab you in the back, Shepard. Warriors like you and me, straight to the face."

Then I thought of a biotic charge to the face... with a katana in hand

Yeah, that's the idea. Idk if it has been confirmed or not. Maybe a katana sounds stupid but it actually fits the sentinel as a way to shape his omnitool to be able to defend himself in melee.

More like a biotic kick or punch since it is about MELEE, but since you were trying to be sarcastic i'll let it go. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/whistling.png[/smilie]

CQC is trained in the military and is really important. No matter how good you are shooting, you need to defend yourself in close quarters. However your statement is correct, you are idiot if you bring a sword to a gunfight, as anybody who brings a rocket launcher or a sniper rifle in CQC...

For an engineer in any case. Would be fun to watch that.

Nah, i think the vanguard should be given the melee ability of tearing his enemy's heart after a biotic charge.:devil:j/k

Hahahah oh God yes. So marvelously over-the-top. I support tech katanas for ME3.

Yup.

[Mr. MannlyMan]

I never quite understood why the sentinel armor "glowed" like that. You're in battle; what would be the point of giving your enemy visual cues to tell them when the best time to attack you is? Ooooh... right. Rule of Cool. Forgot about that.

Well, I've lost hope that Bioware is actually trying to build an aesthetically consistent trilogy as opposed to adding cheese for that cheesy flavor that the Mass Effect trilogy so desperately needed. So why not?

In fact, give us technological boxer gloves that shatter mechs on impact, or maybe we could have a tech warhammer that makes husks go SPLAT. Why not? It's cool!

Yup.

Might apply more if the swordsmen also had kinetic barriers and borderline superpowers like Shep does.

Not that a sword is all that logical, but then again, most armed combat today probably doesn't involve running at a position by yourself to circle strafe people with a shotgun. Or heck most combat being within 10 meters.

Have to agree, we're already at the established point that Shep's elbow can take on elite troopers. If we are going to try to bring up knife vs guns, I think starting on the point that an elbow is actually pretty dang effective in ME at least as a secondary option is not a bad place. Why exactly are melee weapons options so insane?

[J. Finley]

Just give me my Infiltrator necksnap and I'm good to go.

[wepeel_]

Melee weapons certainly have their place, especially in a setting where they bypass kinetic barriers that stop projectiles. In idle speculation, a charging vanguard with a mono-molecular blade would probably cut a krogan in half.

I'd imagine that the Engineer's flame blade (yep, that's the class' special melee) is a one-hit kill attack, so there's that.

As for the Sentinel, can't he just cover his fists with the same stuff that goes in the Tech Armor and punch the crap out of the victim?

Like...fists of steel.

[Bartag]

Yes, neck snap ftw.

[silentassassin264]

How about a glowing biotic tech katana?

[CulturalGeekGirl]

Monofilament whip, more like. Maybe not for sentinel, but someone should have a monofilament whip!

[J. Finley]

I think a better question is what would the Soldier end up having? Only thing I could think of that isn't the generic weapon bash is jamming a grenade down their throats/up their ass.

[AdmiralCheez]

[LuxDragon]

Only time I use melee is when someone runs up to my face during a reload. A couple of hits and they back off.

Having a even more effective melee sounds nice.

[The Man on the Moon]

soldier will probably get a cool looking combat knife kill.

[Notanything]

I want to tear somebody's intestines out with my biotic punch, or just punch right through. I am hopeful for what they make the Adept instakill melee move.
