I am the token ultrakill ambassador and I say unto thee: there are 2 melee weapons and each have specific strengths in specific situations, but you can equip both and even keep them on different buttons! The game encourages (almost requires tbh) you to switch on the fly and gives each weapon a different use case meaning deciding which melee to punch someone or something with is literally always an active choice. Play Ultrakill!!!!

Tf2 sex update

You should have touched on The Finals I think they do meele’s good in that game without having to do a special ability.

🎈 🐶+🔪= 💥

It took me about 10 minutes to realise that Destiny has decent melee combat Having the base melee, then being able to assign multiple different melee abilities onto the melee with a cooldown And now the glaive and the sword being some of the more popular weapons due to their power when they have so much risk to use is great design

Mordhau is the only game that's the reverse of this. The melee is super fleshed out, but all the ranged options (archery, throwing weapons) feel like more of an afterthought. edit: also, strangely, the more modern COD titles actually have very viable melee weapons. The game is fast enough that having a 1 shot kill option at close range that has a good lunge actually pretty good, not to mention most of them give you a lot of movement speed.

God that intro about being a youtube...

I think left 4 dead does it pretty well by giving the melee weapons high damage but being extremely close to the zombies, this creates situations where if you or your teammates are being bombarded by a hefty amount of zombies you get push them away then slice all of them in one hit

Saw this from the tf2 one. Been playing this game since drop and now we get a new map in August. Glad to see people loving this game for what it’s special for!

This video is a bit removed from reality, which I guess makes sense because it's about vidya games, but you did make some good points. Assault rifles are the most popular weapon because they are the most versatile weapon. They can be used in close quarters because they are fully automatic but can also be used at long range when switched to semi-auto. IMO the real problem in games is that close quarters aiming and target tracking is much more difficult than it is in real life. Skeet shooting is not some olympic feat but it would be a serious challenge with a mouse and near impossible with a controller.

I got an add about a steam game about tapping nutts

A melee weapon is a little guy you use when the enemy is in your face

An amazing game for this issue is hunt showdown! Almost no automatic weapons, all repeaters and pistols and shotguns, as the game is set in the late 1800s

This video is making me have trust issues, every 2 sentences there is just something... idk weird? No other video in this platform has made me think "wait is that true" or "hold on what did i just hear" and like the idea for the video is perfectly normal, if you didnt know a thing about these games then it would appear like a completely average video essay about melees. Idk im too tired it's 10:30 pm and i should probably just sleep, in any case sorry for rambling i just got kinda stunlocked by this video and just felt like i had to say something, thx for making me second guess myself on everything that i hear!

5:10 context please??

As a long time tf2 player, i very much agree with you. Whilst an Update featuring new weapons sounds amazing, i honestly find myself more excited about the idea of a thorough rebalance patch that could breathe some life into the many neglected weapons.

the 4 heavy mains while watching this video:

Amazing vid, agree with a lot of your points man

Decaying winter is a roblox wave based shooter/survival game which has a in depth melee system which has multiple features. 1 you can parry a enemy attack if timed correctly will stun a enemy and give you some stamina. But if done incorrectly will likely lead to you getting hit due to you both being in range and not attacking. Parrying is only available with a weapon unless you take a certain trait taking up one of your trait slots to let you parry unarmed. 2 shoving which requires stamina but temporarily stuns a enemy letting you get away 3 light attacking which lets you hit a enemy three times in a row quickly dealing additional damage each hit 4 heavy attacking which takes a buildup but deals higher damage there are also three things that add additional depth to the system 1 each melee based enemy has their own type which will determine what types of attacks they make under which conditions(including certain special attacks). 2 melee weapons which are scavenged off the map or crafted with scrap trade off certain characteristics based on type. Although some of them give direct advantages and have special characteristics of their own. 3 you can equip both a usable item, three traits and a class which can have effects on the melee system

the melee weapon is a very short range, infinite ammo gun some what

idk how i feel about AI creating the 3rd itteration of a timeless franchise but idk

what are we supposed to be thinking about at 24:52

Your humor is actually incredible.

I truly do hope TF2 gets another major update, it deserves it

blood punch from doom eternal is really good tho and also the crucible and the sentinel hammer

They should let the psych ward patients produce more videos, this was hilarious!

pc too old, cant run game

One more thing: Melee weapons in tf2 can create synergies with other weapons. For Example Demomans melee weapons with shields or piss jar with bushwacka. That's also unique for Team Fortress 2. <3

Vish kal

I was gonna bring up Hunt: Showdown before I realized that melee weapons aren’t really heightened there but rather the guns and gunplay are brought down enough that a melee weapon becomes kind of viable. They also have the job of killing things as quietly as possible so as to not alert every other player of your exact coordinates.

14:16 chat

Mate you just explained to me why did I falled off FPS shooters! That made a lot of sense

Mfw he doesn’t talk about melee taunts being instakills

Good meeles is in the cs:go and r6s

RED SPY IN THE BASE "Red Spy in the base?!"

what are those animations at 12:24 ?!??

Pls tell me what mods you use for tf2. I need my gun animations too look like that

15:45 saying no to Halloween is crazy. I banish yee to 24/7 skial 2fort 64 players

A melee weapon is a weapon whose primary role is in dispatching enemies at extremely close ranges where using a projectile may be a less favorable option. A melee weapon is an afterthought? Yeah.

My definition of a melee weapon is getting you more clicks, lol good luck bro

i honestly hate how smgs and assault rifles have the same role with one being worse at the job i honestly think the tf2 mod open fortress does assault rifle the best by having them do 3 round burst to differentiate it from the smg while also not outclassing both the smg and shotgun

**DO NOT PUT HALO IN THE “melee is a afterthought” CORNOR**

“Every single FPS says melee weapons are an after thought” The kid named Energy Sword and Gravity Hammer: 💀

9:35 is this a lazypurple reference

Hmm let me guess are melee weapons an after thought 🤔 Edit: OMG THANKS FOR THE LIKES

according to TF2 a melee weapon is still a bullet just very short
