Addition of Melee combat?

Bright Motive · 06-20-2006

I would post this in S:CA forum, but I am not planning on getting it so I will just assume Socom 4.

Well, I think it would be cool to introduce a knife into the arsenal of weapons. It could lead to interesting gameplay mechanics, not only used for killing, but used for other things as well. Maybe cutting rope that drops a log creating a bridge, ect. What do you guys think? It could even give more points per kill, since it's harder to use. (But in Knife Only rooms it would still be 1 per kill.)

Yea, that's what made me start this topic :p. Played that online for awile, started to get good then had to return it :(.

It's an interesting idea, and been said before (like the rifle butt), but it just doesnt seem like it'd get used that much. Try sneaking up very close to people a lot, it's not very easy. The only time it happens is when you happen to run up behind someone camping or laying down, and at that point there would be no reason to be forced into using a knife, might as well just shoot them.

Yeah I've thought about this before. But you're right Dionysus no point in really cutting there throat when you can just shoot them which would be quicker and safer. But if Socom threw in something like "Headshots" they made, I don't know "Cut Throats" =P, and you get extra rank points for that, wouldn't be too bad.

In Knife Only rooms we should only get monkeys as skins. Monkey Knife Fights own.

you can use knives in battlefield. i love getting a kill with a knife on a sniper thats been camping in the same spot for ages.

Good idea and would be an easy one too incorporate. I snuck up behind about three sitting~duck snipers last night and that knife would've come in handy. How about doing a nice Machette~Hack Down ????........

I'd like a baseball bat for those situations...

I wouldn't see a real need for it, sure I guess it'd be cool to knife someone, but ti's still just a kill. Definately not a necessity.
