Hand-to-Hand Combat

[OllyHarris 6]

Hey guys,

today I was just recapping on some old memories; and I thought wouldn't it be awesome if one without a weapon could protect them selves from enemies with weapons. I was thinking if you run into Electro church, for example, and bump into a bandit with lets say a Lee-Enfield. You could grab their weapon and point it away from your self. I'm not sure how this would work, but I was thinking it could be some sort of scroll - and within lets say 10 meters. I'm not sure if it would be a good idea if you could steal the weapon completely, but I just thought it would give Bambi's a chance to survive in hot spots.

It also doesn't have to be just disarming, it could be a stun, knockout punch etc.

Sounds funny but I think it might be able to work. Here's a video of what I sort of mean:

Also,

The second one isn't too clear, but hopefully you get what I mean.

Thanks, Olly.

I know Takistan life has a mele type combat move. It's not all that great but it is possible to be in DayZ. I would like it to be in the mod.

strictly headbutts no other melee

Whoa whoa whoa, what about Johnny Cage dick-punching?

Headbutts are all fine and dandy, but without an uppercut to the nuts melee combat will be lacking. Big time.

I feel like melee in the arma engine isn't possible... Also melee should only be a way of stunning not killing.

Oh and groan kicks/punchers for a one minute knockout!

I'm going to be doing this... *windmills his arms* If you get hit, it's your own fault.

You do know this is a confirmed feature, right? Idiot.

Well I'm sorry, just because I actually don't read absolutely EVERYTHING into the standalone doesn't make me an idiot.

It's kind of something that comes up a lot. In fact, I believe its mentioned in the first 3 dev blogs. Short, 5-10 minute videos. ;)

I like the idea but it seems impractical, imagine a shotgun guy walks through a door and a fresh spawn kills him before he can raise his weapon to shoot. I think the hand-to-hand combat should be like this for example, "Wow! An uncouncious player!" *Snaps neck*. Something more like that.

I for one don't mind the hand to hand combat. provided you can only punch,kick or point the gun away but not being able to kill them even if there knocked out. Also It would be unfair if you could shoot them strait away after pointing there gun away. So you should have to wait a few seconds before being able to shoot. (as a down side)
