Honestly, it should combine both tech and biotic abilities. I'm thinking a one-two punch of a close range electrical shock followed by a biotic pushback (like throw but off cooldown) to get some distance between you and the enemy so you can get back to shooting.

Not sure where but I remember a dev-quote examples of something like the Engineer getting a 'flamewhip' thing which I'm guessing is just as close of an explanation as to what it looked like. It still melee distance thing but Engineer basically adds fire to an attack kinda thing. And Adepts doing Biotic punchs  kinda like you saw Jack do I think in ME2.

I'm imagine the Infiltrator gets some kinda special move that does bonus dmg from stealth for stealth-like takedowns.

I could easily see Sentinel getting a cryo-bast punch thing. That'd be pretty sweet actually.

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


*sarcasm*  Yes, because no military in their right mind issues knives or bayonets to their soldiers.   */sarcasm*

Personally, I'd assume they'd build an extending blade into the forearm of military armours like the N7.

I'm guessing OP might have recently seen/rewatched the reboot of Star Trek, and Sulu's sword was fresh in mind.

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.


I hope they come to their senses and remove any insta kill melee ability.  It is just a really bad idea.  Crap game play because someone thinks it will look cool is not a good exchange.

Um no military in their right mind uses either of those for combat.  Virtually every country has removed bayonets and knives are not intended for combat except as a last, last, last resort.

That too.

By the way, I love your sig.  But you really should quote the whole thing, since the first rule is the most poignant.

Here's what I think... in alphabetical order.

Adept: telekinetic punch. You punch they go reeling back 30 or 40 feet.

Engineer: Bioware already said it would be a fire punch thing.

Infiltrator: Shiv. While cloaked or attacking from behind you can quickly stab the enemy making them lose health over time.

Sentinel: I actually like the techo kitana, though I would make it bio-tech. The benefit would be it deals massive damage to all forms of protection,

Solider: Meat shield. Basically using your enhanced strength you get to physically hold someone to use as a meat shield for a few seconds.

Vanguard; Tackle. You get to actually knock an enemy prone using a physical punched combined with some biotcs.

I doubt the apparent instakill moves will affect fully armored foes, even if stealth is a factor in it.  So I wouldn't dwell on it too much, at first I didn't like the idea either, but there really isn't anything I could do about it, so I may as well go to it.

Actually... Thats not entirely true. The United states Army is still very much into the use and application of blade weapons.

As part of their default training and VERY specific circumstances sure.  But no knives are not part of your approach to battle.  It is more like this, your rifle is what you use in battle, your pistol is what you use in battle if you don't have your rifle, your knife is what you use to open your rations.  While they still have a gun, you wont see soldiers using a knife outside of very unusual situations, and honestly if you are down to a knife the general suggestion is to surrender if caught alone.

I think I'd go with a one-two punch of overload to warp. Would affect the surrounding area as well so if you got into a group of enemies you'd overload them and their weapons, then warp blast them all away from you.
