My opinion on the new melee weapons
Pretty damn cool but doesn't anyone else think its kind of stupid you aren't allowed an unlimited amount of melee attacks? I mean really? Why do I need ammo for a MELEE WEAPON? It feels kind of counter-intuitive to give you a limited amount of swipes. I mean, you have to get close up to deal damage and you're putting yourself at risk. With melee weapons, its a situation of high risk/high reward... why penalize melee weapon users by giving them a terribly small amount of attacks before they need ammo again? Really, Bungie? You have cool ideas but you don't really seem to think them through when implementing them. I don't see these weapons being really good in PVP when you'll just get blown up by people with rocket launchers and machine guns. They might be good in PvE but I don't see why anyone would want to use them when I can use something like that Sleeper Simulant gun which looks like it melts through bosses. I can use that at a safe distance too!
Discuss.
EDIT: WHY DON'T WE HAVE PRIMARY SWORDS/MELEE WEAPONS? Something less powerful than the heavy versions but ones you can use at all times?
-
Because anything less powerful than a melee weapon used in the heavy/special slot would most likely be useless. You'd most likely be ripped to shreds in PvP, since you can't one-hit in PvP (In a primary slot), and you'd be ripped to shreds in PvE because of obvious reasons. Melee weapons really only have a place being powerful, limited weapons. Otherwise, you might as well use your fists (Although, it would be nice if you could aesthetically change your fist to a melee weapon. No damage boost, just cosmetic).
