Melee Combat in Destiny

Has there been any info on melee combat in this game? I think it would be a nice feature, as opposed to just [i]hitting someone with your gun[/i] or a quick assasin animation. I'm talking blocking, parrying, evading etc. Imagine how cool it would be leading a raid party on an enemy stronghold, everyone waving their laser swords in the air, cutting down anyone who dares stand in your way. Or an intense clash of swords with another player, set against an amazing and dramatic backdrop.

  • in my opinion i think there should be a melee option like, you choose to have a sword or something equipped then you can swap back to a rifle or shotgun instead of pistol. making the sword or melee weapon a secondary choice

  • Well they would need to let us drop in and out of first person to Third like Skyrim right off the bat. That ability is really helpful when you're surrounded. Plus watching the animations are fun in themselves. I wouldn't mind some sort of elbow throw or good straight leg break on the enemy Ai. Fighting a foe with eight arms is going to be tricky in melee and those Rhino fellow look like one good straight arm will break a human spine like a twig. Should be fun.

  • I doubt there will be other than cinematic video play through. It is a FPS still.

  • How would a Capture feature sound? where instead of sneak kills you can sneak behind a player and handcuff em or Hog tie em.. then decide to kill or just leave em there.. captured players either wait to be released or cut themselves free using a (line up system) like NBA Live 05 Free throws or Madden Kickoffs.

  • And then that charging party gets gunned down by two heavy machine guns that they could have taken out using guns OR clever tactics (if you must use swords)

    • I hope it has realistic melee damage (i.e. a knife to clothes or skin would be very damaging, but next to nothing against hard armor)

    • It would be cool, but the differnces in button layout might overly complicate the game. Might be able to work though.

    • I want to be able to wield a buster blade and block bullets and decapitate people.

    • I'm doubtful that they'll be able to do much, the First Person Perspective isn't very well suited for melee combat.

      • Good idea for a FP fighting game, but I believe that type of gaming should stay as far away from Destiny as possible. The only reason I like FPSs is because I despise button masher fighters. The melee system in Destiny should be no more complicated than that of Skyrim. Just my opinion.

      • I think it would be cool if they had a 3rd person fighting thing you could do. Like maybe in certain areas of a certain place could add more danger if guns are used. The you would have to fight hand to hand.
