More Melee Teaser Pics

Did that hurt?

D*%^#$ missed!

But not this time

Block effect

Reaching back for that killing blow

Again these are all WIP and the models will probably change.

But the idea of this is to based in part the melee like the JK2 style of saber comat, were you current movement will determine the attack.....

JK2 style sabre combat? Awesome.

Stick in a lunge-style move that I can spam like I do in JK2.

Hm...the sparks seem a little over the top; waaay too many sparks for the clash of two swords.

If it's a powerful swing, it should either send their corpse flying (plenty of blood too) to land in a crumpled heap, or split them wherever the weapon hit.

question: what happens when you block an arrow/cutter? do they stick to the sword?

I noticed there are different sword models , will the player be able to choose which one they use?, or will they be randomly assigned?

all i need now is a big plastic tub to collect my drool.

EDIT: too many sparks . If anything there arent enough sparks

Again this is work in progress stuff.

We dont know how many weapons or which type we can get in. Also the blocking (hence the spark effect) is not perfect yet. But thats our goal to let you pick out of the availbe weapons which you want to use....

Dunno what you're planning concerining shields... but I think the melee weapons should ignore shields... would give an advantage to using Melee weapons.... plus the shields are plasma-energy based if I remember correctly... so I don't think even story-line wise a plasma-energy shielding system would protect you from a forced impact from something like a sword.

*shrug* just a suggestion.

Good idea I think!

defalc · Post by **defalc** » Sat Jul 26, 2003 1:55 pm

That is a good idea. Makes it plausible to try slice a shielded player instead of just nailing them with a crossbow or something. I still suggest more blood though.

And yeah! Is that a longbow?!
