curate? who's he?

Sheesh so much melee hate. Of course a gun beats knife in a straight up gunfight that is why it requires stealth to use melee weapons not running around like Jason.

OK imagine melee weapons in this game. running around vaulting and stabbing people from behind. I HOPE U DESIGNERS ARE LISTENING BECAUSE WE ALL PROBABLY WANT THIS melee weapons or at least a knife for operative would give brink another great aspect of combat. Like in the cinematic where the resistance guy has two knives. diving around with that kind of weapons would be a whole lot of fun. Although it would be rather difficult to make melee combat balanced it would make the game better than it is already is. maybe look at games like Halo reach where if u get behind them you do a sick assassination move. or maybe like if you get close enough to the enemy and you have your melee weapon out you press the s.m.a.r.t. button and lunge toward them with your knife or what ever to perform a cool kill. If you do put in melee weapons make sure that the knife itself is a weapon so you cant have your gun and then really quickly pull out you melee weapon. Basically don't make it like modern warfare where you are holding a gun and then quickly pull out your knife... make it like team fortress 2 where the knife is considered a weapon. Now that i think about it only operative should have a knife because it fits the best. I think this would add a good new way to have combat in brink.

I hate people trying to melee without being stealthy That's why I hate most melee players in FPS (with stress on the S)
