I know Mass Effect has always been a first person shooter and has been done pretty damn well so far, however I would like a little more melee contact, in the game the Pistol wipe is nice and all but I would like to see more hand to hand combat or even melee weapons like a sword or Knife. what do you all think about this?? Agree or disagree? would be nice to beable to run up to a Geth and "SLASH" them with a sword, or Poke a Krogan in the eye with a dagger

Dedicated melee weapons would be silly. A different Mass Effect game with a stealth focus (you see what Thane could do in hand-to-hand?), sure, but not a game with the heavy gunplay gameplay of the current Mass Effect series.

[Kronner]

good ol' two hander eh?

[Darnalak]

As much of a fan of melee attacks as I am, I still say melee weapons really don't have a place in Mass Effect. Now, a 2-3 hit combo would be pretty cool though!

[NICKjnp]

It does have melee weapons. You can melee with all your weapons.

Gun vs Sword. 100 meters distance. Who wins?

[IceSavage]

I think if we had something like modular weapons like Borderlands does, so that you could have a Bayonet Extension that would increase melee damage by X, then I would be fine with that. Having a specific weapon though... it is a bit too Jedi, since all the fans would want the lightsaber option.

Depends on if the sword is 100 meters long?

Never bring just a blade to a gunfight.

[themaxzero]

Surely a gun (probably a Shotgun) with some sort of Energy Blade Bayonet wouldn't be out of the question?

[Ari Kagura]

I could probably see guns with melee attachments on them, but a dedicated melee weapon? I suppose it might work somewhat with the Vanguard. Or rather, any Biotic class could use their psychic-like powers to twirl blades around in mid-air ... a bit like throwing a dagger, but having it come back to you like boomerang. It could work out, depending on the weapon.

[VirtualAlex]

Silly to disregard melee weapons. There are plenty of times where I wish I had one. Also just because this is a sci-fi shooter doesn't mean melee weapons shouldn't exist (ever play halo?).



A vangaurd with some kind of mass-effect-field powered jackhammer would be sweet. Or some sort of particle spear, or vibro-knife whatever. An knife-in-the-back style infiltrator would work perfectly in ME3.

And would the sword have been any good without its homing lunge attack that would have made shotguns just as scary?

[RamsenC]

Vanguard with a giant laser sword would be nice.

[IndomitusRex]

I like where melee is at in ME2. It has its place, and is quite useful for busting armour, but having it available as a primary tactic is just a bad idea. Yeah, you have guys running around with a tactical knife in Modern Warfare 2, but it doesn't make any sense at all.



If Bioware wants to expand on the melee in ME3, give Shepard a knife, or maybe a bayonet. We don't need energy swords or vibroblades or laser whips or any of that crap. Aside from the presence of Biotics, the ME universe has a certain credibility and authenticity to its combat that would be ruined by having commandos taking on space knights.

[DirewolfX]

Yeah, biotics should totally get lightsabres mass effect field energy swords.

*duck*

[Atmosfear3]

Samara should have a battle staff that shoots biotic blasts for projectiles. In addition it doubles as a wide-arc melee weapon. How badass would that be? Too bad I don't think I've ever seen squadmates melee.

I wouldn't minda Republic Commando-style wristblade mounted onto my hardsuit but realistically, we already have four different flavours of shotguns. We don't really need any more close range stuff than that and punching.

[VirtualAlex]

Halo has a Graviton hammer also, which has great use without a lunge attack. I don't think the halo universe loses and credibility for it either.



The krogans would totally have melee weapons. MassEffect field tech could make some really neat battering rams and stuff I bet. I am just saying, it would be cool to have one melee range heavy weapon, and a tactical knife for shepard.



I have been 100% out of ammo before. All I have left is "elbow?"



I think a stealth element would work in ME fine. Especially with line-of-sight and cover already integral parts of the game. Killing enemies in silence without alerting other enemies would be awesome.

[Frekken]

Picture this: biotic charge some hapless merc, jam your bayonet into his chest then pull the trigger. Tell me that wouldn't help you relieve stress.

[hawat333]

No.

[FredegarKadere]

A rich animation chain for using your gun weapon in melee range? Certainly. A pistol whip kill triggers an animation to have the foe get his head caved in from a point blank shot. A rifle chain that has you hold your rifle lengthwise and shove back with the barrel, followed by a head hit with the rifle stock. Etc.



Dedicated melee weapons? No.

I see no reason to bring the game closer to Halo (Master Chief/Elites/Brutes), Star Wars (Jedi/Sith), Star Trek (Klingons), L4D2, etc.

[Ender1221]

Only way I can see this working is if they have a new game come out (after the trilogy), set in the Mass Effect universe, where you play an assassin. Even then, your main weapons would be sniper, maybe a silenced pistol, and then a knife of some sort. If they find a way to let Thane live that long, I could see them making a stealth based combat game where you play Thane. You'd get to use biotics and stealth weaponry. I would play that.

[MassEffectOfMyHeart]

republic commando knife or tali's boot knife??? so hard to pick! i'll just stick to my tack shotgun wit 2ft bayonet.
