Possiblility of getting melee weapons?

[Arsenic_Touch]

Theres a reason there is a old saying.. "Dont bring a knife to a GUN fight!" Besides it has alredy been confirmed that NO such permanet weapon types will be part of Defiance. This is a pure shooter, ME3 was not.

Irisa pretty much destroyed that "don't bring a knife to a gun fight" saying. Watch the first 14 minutes of the first episode of defiance.

Really? you DO get that what is SCRIPTED for a TV show, wont give the same results in game right? As a personal firmearms intructor, I can 100% say that at any sort of relative distance, (besides up close and personal) that a knife user vs a gun user will loose every time. Sure you CAN kill them, but good luck absorbing ALL that damage from a full weapon, while GETTING close to them

Really? I thought that was real life. Are you telling me santa claus isn't real either?

It wasn't a gunfight until AFTER the knife was used :P

The only way I see using knife in this game would be for those with cloak ability to get close to an enemy and from behind attack them to silence them sort of commando stuff but really melee weapons, sword or machetes I doubt it.

Er yeah, you know "don't bring a knife to a gunfight" is definitely a valid saying but I'm not suggesting you use it as a main attack. I just personally thought that it would make the simple act of melee attacking enemies (when the situation calls for it) LOOK and FEEL a lot cooler. And isn't that what video games are for? Making you feel like a bad-***.

I dont feel very badd ***** when playing Peggle. Even though it is a badd***** game.

hehe

Defiance makes you feel like a BA without having to have a knife. Clubbing bad guys with a huge alien Rocket Launcher is pretty BA in my book

But with Blur being the MELEE class of the game you would think there would be melee weapons to support the power. I personally wouldn't mind melee weapons in the game. Could you imagine cloak or blur with some type of Von Bach energy blade.

Hahaha, good point. =) Cool as that is though, it still (for me) doesn't beat slicing off heads Michone style..

And yeah, what this guy below said, exactly.

I could see it being viable as a cosmetic option. I mean, there's already a melee attack and an EGO ability that boosts it; I can't see any harm in having a microtransaction that turns your attack visual into a sword or knife hit.
