Kill with your hands

No. Very gamey and does not really fit on. In RL you can't sneak behind someone and just choke em to death in a few seconds. We are civilians not high trained special ops teams! I don't think hand to hand combat should go farther then a simple shove.

Hand to hand with Zeds should get you killed most of the time. Other wise I feel they would not present a threat.

I don't like hand to hand attacks. I feel that players will never team up in favor of punching each other to death. Kind of like when people started with Makarovs. Everyone killed each other.

yes because the current system is so much better. All that happens now is two players see each other and its a race to the death to see who finds a weapon to murder the other with first.

if you have no weapons you should be able to go up behind someone and snap there neck but it would be like bf3 you need to be right behind them to be able to do it, maybe be there could be a defense against like he makes a noise like "hay buddy" then he kills him, but if you can hit a button in time in that 1 second of him saying that you can deflect it and throw him in front of you after that its up to you to decide on how you want him dead or alive. also a good idea would be to hit them with your gun and knock them out for 5 seconds or something just to get away from them if you are out of bullets. please reply i would like to here your thoughts on these ideas to ?

when you thought of this it probably played out in your head pretty cool.

but in reality this kinda stuff just doesn't fit in with Dayz.

some sort of way to silently take out zombies from behind with a knife might be interesting.

but close quarter combat with other players in current mod, IMO is not a platform to have such a suggestion viable and practical.

I don't what server you play on where people do that. That is not a legitimate argument I feel

Unarmed Combat should be restricted to Punching, Kicking and possibly Tackling.

In terms of unarmed combat, here's how I look at it:

• Punch - No Damage but inflicts "pain" status" effect after a few blows, only affects players, Zombies/Infected unaffected
  

• Shove - Used to push Zombies/Infected away or possibly knock down players if on uneven ground, does no damage. Remaining stationary, gives a more powerful shove.
  

• Kick - Same principle to the shove but must remain stationary to perform, a powerful kick that can knockback/knockdown Zombies and Players, does no damage but inflicts "pain" status effect.
  

• Stomp - Can only be used on "stunned" Zombies (knocked down and stationary for a few seconds) or "knocked out" players. Gives a swift stomp on the victims head, can kill with repeated hits.
  

• Tackle/Charge - An attack that can only be performed while Sprinting, can ram oppenants with the shoulder or tackle them to the ground, instantly knocking the oppenant to the floor at the cost of yourself also being knocked down (if you tackle someone, your both going down to the floor). The "Ram" attack could also be applied to knocking down wooden doors and other obstructions.
  

Every time you get in with 10 feet of some one screen shifts and it becomes a platform fighter.

i vote NO to hand to hand combat mechanics.

maybe a hack and slash type of thing with melee weapons
