They should just take it out of the game. I like that they "re-did" the melee system adding new animations and features but going into a animation after every time you get hit is broken. I don't know how this made it to beta this makes the game so bad to play right now because no-matter what gear you have you can die to a bambi with a hatchet if he gets one hit on you.
This is my fist time playing Dayz beta but I have played the experimental branch up to this point. I got a spawn in Cherno and was lucky enough to get a M4 with a mag and 10 bullets. I was pretty geared with two pistols with each their own mags with 6 bullets for each of them and good backpack etc. I was running through the northern part of Cherno by the residential houses and I ran into two players with no gear all they had was a hatchet and one had an axe. They where third-person peeking over the fences and attacked me once I ran past. I got hit once and couldn't even run away to get distance from them or shoot back , I was stunned locked and died with no counter play. Why is this even in the game how can a bambi with a hatchet stun lock you and kill you when you have the best gun in the game actually ridiculous.
