Any Plans for more melee weapons?

Post by **Shadowstar** » Tue Dec 30, 2003 4:49 am

A great deal of creative thought has gone into the current melee combat system, and the result is a system which provides many more options than one might originally realize. Highly unconventional approaches may prove more successful than the more obvious schemes when it comes to new ideas.

Recently, I've been pondering something entirely unique. Instead of a melee weapon, this is a suit. Every part of this suit is, effectively, a weapon. So, you would have spiked gloves, thorned elbow straps, bladed shoulders, spiked breastplate, bladed leggings, and spiked boots, and possibly a horned helmet. With our current melee system, such a thing would be possible, though getting it to fit properly on a player could be tricky.

Yea, since it would have to determine which model is being displayed on each client
One player could use Renegade model, and someone else might be forcing Gorge on all players, another forcing Cobalt, etc

Maybe just make the suit a model, and when someone selects the suit it overrides whatever model they have chosen?

Make the face an iron mask with spikes and allow the player to do head butts

Actually, unarmed combat would fit right in with the current system, I think. This would make a "combat suit" redundant. Or perhaps a variation on unarmed combat. The "kick" is already in, after all.
