Melee

I find it to be pretty cool tbh, It's different from other Military based games. Using a knife is overrated

 

Don't give 'em a chance to panic then. Kill 'em at a distance or do your best to never stay on the ground for more than 3 or 4 seconds at a time.

 

Weird, I think the animation should be faster actually. Sucks when you perform an execution and it takes 2 seconds to finish. I usually opt to just shoot pilots rather than melee.

 

Panic knifing is the worst, I would execute if I knew I had enough time not to get sniped by anyone else.

 

I've got two minds on the jump kick. On one hand its pretty fun and well as funny, and on the other hand when you're on the receiving end you're calling out BS! In that sense its pretty balanced I guess.

Alternatively, you could make it so that it requires two kicks to kill, but the first kick has a push back effect which can unbalance the other pilot's aim temporarily. Similar to the Titan's punches which knock you back & throws off your aim.

 

I don't care about the instant kill as much as I hate how easy it is to spam it. IMO, missing a melee attack should force melee to go onto a long cooldown.

 

I love the kick. Everyone has one so it's fair game. I think its really funny when you get kicked and you see in the killcam that the pilot started his kick way before you were in kicking range. It's like his boot had some kind of heatseaking thrust that propelled it to your face! I laugh everytime i get kicked or i kick another pilot.

 

I never liked knifing and I do not like the jumpkicks in Titanfall, if you sneak up on a guy fine, but if you come face to face with a guy with a gun and try knifing/jumpkicking, the game should just run a scripted animation of you putting a bullet in his face, then teabag him, while playing some insulting audioclip about going into a gunfight unarmed.
