How about a melee attack?

[m_aho83@hotmail.com 0]

Hi all havent posted before but have been reading the forums.

I started thinking while running the dark long road to Solnichniye by night, that maybe it would be nice to implement a melee attack?

I mean, if your attacked by zombies you would probably not just lay down and die, run sure, but when there is no more running you would probably start kicking ass, atleast I would.

So what I was thinking of was some kind of melee attack that is on a cooldown, maybe 120 sec or something.

This attack would have a 50% possibility to succeed, and if it does not fail it should kill the zed.

If it fails you get a critical hit from the zed maybe?

Also I feel it should make some kind of sound, like the character yelling or something, so that it cant be abused as some kind of ninja stealth attack.

Im not into coding in any way, not sure if its possible to implement it.

But atleast I feel that it would give a possibility to survive when you dont have any ammo or spawn without weapons.

If I got chased by a single zombie I would pick up the first rock that fits my hand and make him go to zombie heaven. No mercy.

Sorry for my bad English im from Sweden.

A zombie can take multiple bullets to the chest but you should be able to insta kill them with a punch? Seems a tad bit implausible.

Im not sure if zombies breathe? Do they need air?

If yes, then you can strangle them if you ge the correct hold of them, right arm around the throat and left arm pressing right armbow firmly toward subjects throat, and keep you face to either right or left so you dont get knocked by the subjects head. Works very well.

Takes about 10sec to pass out, ive had my GF do it on me so I know what happens when you get strangled.

Maybe they have super powers? Im not sure how strong zombies are.

Then you might not have the power to strangle them.

Still, a rock about 3kg that you slam in the head of someone with full force (+50% because your in a life or death situation), will create the same amount of damage to the brain as a normal handgun.

Ofcourse not the same kind of damage, but still lethal.

Im not asking for a Mike Tyson punch, but for some kind of melee attack that cant be abused.

Try reading the original post again.

Not being able to hit them when out of ammo struck me as odd as well the first times I played. Then I read that Arma 2 is not built for melee combat at all, that may be the reason its not already in.

Should be ways to have this implemented without it being overpowered

It doesnt have to be animated maybe.

But, like an invisible gun that has a 50% chance to hit or otherwise your fucked.

Also saw that there was a melee thread, sorry for posting this. Maybe a admin can implement it in the other thread?

Edit: No its me thats drunk. It was about melee Weapons.
