I love how people are ****ing about a melee attack for Soldiers.

Seriously, lightsabers?? So anything that's shiny, made of energy, and is for stabbity-stab equals a lightsaber rip-off?

Really?



Yes,  obviously.

Some enemies are designed to go up in close combat on you, so some defense against it other than Shepard's weak elbow is more than welcome.

I usually play a CQC vanguard. Probably 9 out of 10 kills for me are at melee range, and an actual melee weapon will be a great addition to ME3. Heck, it should have been in from ME1, especially considering how kinetic shields followed lore back then and stopped projectiles but not melee attacks; as it should be.

I'm so dissapointed about the demo. I'm also thankful that they have delayed the game because judging by the look of the demo it sucks. Please, don't let this be another DA2.

It was a small demo to show the KINECT functions in the game...
Just that, no more, no less, the real demo will be shown in EA's press conference

Oh, and by the way, omni-tools have built-in microfabricators that are capable to create things like the material to use Incinerate and the likes, so creating a short blade shouldn't be that hard, nor is it breaking any lore.

Looks and feels a lot more a covenant energy sword than lightsaber.

i like it, seems appropriate. thought i dont get the light saber comparisons, they arent anything alike. its more like the wrist mounted blade in assassins creed then anything a jedi would have. Maybe its just a well played Troll

Man did you guys see the latest gameplay demo on tv? Got me more excited for the game. They showed the knife again, twice. Once to stab a cerberus dude in the stomach, and again in some sort of takedown move where shep threw a guy down, and stabbed in him the stomach.

I really like the concept, and the animation, but it goes completely against the series' lore and tech.

The Omni-Blade is LITERALLY contrary to everything in the Codex. It is physical, hard, and SHARP light. LIGHT.

I would much prefer some kind of hidden or retractable blade in the wrist that pops out for the attack. As it is now, it makes no sense whatsoever from a lore, tech, and logical standpoint. One of my favorite things about this series is that, aside from the Mass Effect, is quite realistic. This just screams "because it looks cool" at the cost of believability in the story.

Yeah lightsabers for sure. Did you see how they even copied the sound a lightsaber makes and how Shepard told the guy he stabbed he could feel a disturbance in the force?

Appropriate...?  How is a laser knife appropriate at all for the Mass Effect universe?  Especially in the last game of the trilogy, why add something that has absolutely no basis in any established lore?

Alright...  I was going to leave it but...

How is a laser knife appropriate in a universe with GIANT LIFE DESTROYING ROBOTS, TALKING ALIENS and PHYSICS BREAKING SPACE TRAVEL?

Get your head examined.

Seriously.  This is the issue you're going to nit pick.

On the one hand, knives and bladed or edged weapons have no place in a firefight.

On the other hand, I'm never going to use it for that very reason, so whatever. Looks neat, I guess.



lol so if you out of ammo and you enemy is upclose what are gonna kill em with? your conversation skills? bahahaha blades are there for CQC encounters.


Sounds like you only play as a Soldier.

Hint:  There are five other classes.  I can tell you that my Adept never worries about running out of ammo, because guns are secondary to abilities.


sorry my main is a vanguard.

So are you going to discredit nearly every sci-fi game/show/novel/movie ever made?  It's science-FICTION for a reason, but there are established lore and rules that you have to stick by.

You know, you could do what I did through Dune. Everytime something seems imbecilic you take a shot, that way... everyone wins and you stop asking questions.

It looked lame IMO, and does not really fit the sodlier. Omni-Tech blade for tech based classes sure, but the soldier should have a basic wrist blade or something if you need to add this in.

My only real worry is how it effects gameplay. It is a shooter not ninja gaiden. Now did they miss or something because it did like nothing damage, up till now they were talking about this type of melee attack OSOKing the targets. That was way to fast for a OSOK move, why have a shotgun at all, hell why have weapons for anything other than covering fire so you can close and stab people if something that fast is OSOK. If that is powerful it wrecks game play. If that mild damage+stagger done is what it does hey its fine.

Fair play bud.  You do I hope see my point though.  Ammo considerations really do depend upon which class you play.  For the caster types guns are secondary, hell even on Insanity I rarely use my guns with my Adept.  Its harder, certainly, but I prefer to rely on infinite resources (powers) over finite ones (ammo).

I expected "lightsaber" like weapons making an appearance in ME3.. the way the did it was better than expected.. it isn't a "must have" for me.. but it certainly doesn't look bad.. and I'm not gonna love it or hate it off like 20seconds of footage showing it.

Sorry I know I've been stressing about it for almost a half an hour now, far too long to worry about something.  But anyway, we all know that the game is finalized 9 months before launch, especially a small feature like what the PC uses for melee attacks.

from the wiki

..."The fabrication module(on the omni-tool) can rapidly assemble small three-dimensional objects from common, reusable industrial plastics, ceramics, and light alloys. "


So technically yes someone could progam an omnitool to create a extendable knife. I don't know how effective it would be, but it is possible.

No argument there.  As an Infiltrator, I welcome a chance to deal with enemies that get too close.

But the omniblade, as shown, was...No.  Just...no.  It made my brain hurt.

Give me a blade that pops out of the forearm of Shepard's armor.  Give me a bayonet.  But no sparkly omnitool blades, please!  It makes it look like omnitools have been replaced by Green Lantern-style power rings!
