Well while watching the cinematic trailer, I saw some dude wielding two wicked looking short swords, just wundering if there is Any confirmation of melee type weapons apart from operative knives and hitting someone with your gun, do u think it would be a good idea and what melee weapons would you like to see?

I'm all for adding in a chainsaw

No, since you have one free hand with a pistol, you use it to take out your knife.

Yup anyone not using a pistol gets a gun butt,

This is a really in your face game from what they say. I think dual knives and other melee weapons could work.

This is a FPS not Dungeons and Dragons.

That would be really crappy if the damage and hits in Brink were based on dice rolls.

Can anybody explain the reason of ONK with knives and melee? I don't understand it and feel like it really destroys any chance of attachment to a game.

I'm shooting you with a gun.
You might have nipped my chest with the tip of the blade.
I'm dead.

some games put in in to help out some of the worse players. thats why in cod it is the right joystick because they tried to make it that when you turn a corner and some guy startles you, you tighten up and naturally press it

Duel-wielding those awesome looking swords would be cool, but it's a shooter. Therefore, I wouldn't see a point in having melee weapons as primary weapons.

Lol for real.

Its not. You would know that if you read. However if you stab someone in the face is just as effective as shooting them.

might be harder to pull off though, some people really do have thick skulls

your thinking of a neck-stab

Because you can and ever few things are as humilating as getting knifed.

Thank god he designed people with ears and eyes. Good point though.

your thinking of a neck-stab

Stabbing someone in neck very very likely dead.

Stabbed through the brain very very dead.

lol yeah. besides, the knife isnt for a straightforward assault. (i know these are the same people who think lights are ninjas) it's for stealth, for sneaking up behind people. it should be one of the operatives primary weapons, as it doesnt attract attention.

Please don't restart the lights are ninjas, idea. We am tired of trying to slay this many headed hydra. Operatives have the backstab. Anyone can use knives with pistols, lights will mostly use them since they have to use a pistol as secondary. Everyone melee is gunbutt.

This is what we know.

Feel feel to dream,

Light can use knives with pistols.

Everyone can use knives with pistols, since they only way you even get a knife is if you have a pistol equipped.

2 reasons
1) for kicks giggles and fun
2) it is awesome when you manage to do something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnLVooVE7Hs (yes I know knifing will be harder than that in Brink)
