 The Omni-Blade is really one of the more sensible things in the game since constructing something like a blade should be fairly easy for the Omni-Tool. Especially considering that Omni-Tools are capable of making items as complicated as a Flashlight, I'd say a simple blade is very doable.

I was a bit against the Omni-Blade at first as well namely since I didn't ever expect "knives" or melee attacks to become prevalent in Mass Effect, but when you consider how gimped melee attacks are in ME2 I think most would see it as a good thing. Also I believe only Soldiers get the Omni-Blade anyways.

In fact a war was won in the me universe using a parachute that took advantage of that weakness.

Which war was that?

Isn't the omni blade somewhat of a retcon?

retconning what exactly?

tactics and squad render melee useless??

then why the hell are marines trained in hand to hand combat?????

you mean other than the fact that they dont have laser rifles and energy shields, and advanced powerarmor that covers them from head to toe?  or neosporin that instantly heals all of their wounds and brings them back to life?
or the fact that a video game does not work the same as real life?

And the omni too is a hologram (and holograms cannot be blades) right? And that's confirmed by the Codex? So that's established fact, right?

And since a retcon is a rewrite of established fact....... to me that seems like a retcon.

But their are several similar things in the Mass Effect universe that are similar to the omni blade

right

because 

Number 1: ME does not have laser weapons, even the Collector energy beam is not a laser. They fire actual projectiles.

Number 2: Kinetic barriers and Armor FAIL. Especially the former since they can be overloaded with an omnitool. Bullets go through armor. For that matter Normal guns in the real world work the same way really, conceptually speaking........see a target, aim (hopefully not at body armor), shoot, kill. But more to the point according to lore Shields do NOT protect against  melee attacks so guess what? if you could charge an enemy would it not be much more practicaly and lethal to just shank them with a technologically advanced  melee weapon? So why would Marines NOT be trained in hand to hand? Oh and.....Ashley says hello, you should talk to her more often in ME1

Number 3: Medigel needs to be applied....but wait how exactly does this become relevant to Melee?

Number 4: "it's just a game" is a very poor excuse. If people want the medium to grow they need to stop excusing poor execution or anything else for that matter with "it's just a game so who cares?". Omni tools and hand to hand combat makes sense in the ME universe...so does the Omni-Blade

Care to prove it's not?

Because it's not going against the established facts about the omni-tool.

[Someone With Mass]

The Big Bad Wolf wrote...

How is it not?

The omni-tool is able to construct things that are far more complicated than the omni-blade, like drones with its fabricator.

I can't. What's in it?

A training station. Pinnacle station uses Holograms for training. Yes, Holograms + mass effect fields, if the safety systems are off, CAN kill you. A kinetic slug (that is what they call the holographic projectiles) will hurt you and possibly kill you. There are codex entries about it too. The omniblade is a hologram, thus, it COULD be used as a weapon

*SIGH*

For the >9000-th time, omni-tools are not just holograms. They have physical components. Re-read your Codex.

The hologram is just the UI.
