I have yet to see an actual reason for taking melee off, read on.

And how about this, Impulse has had just punches enabled ever since I have owned the server at the beginning of 2007, but no one has ever complained about that.

All I'm asking is for someone to actually make a case for it, and I'll listen, so far all I see when I review the topic is:

1. This is not FFA (A fair claim when discussing flipkick, but not a nonintrusive gameplay mechanic like melee)
2. Let me scroll through my weapons faster (Most classes have ONE weapon! I thought real FPS players have their weapons bound anyways?)
3. I'm tired of spawning with melee out (Not even true....and even if it WAS, it takes less than a second to switch weapons AND you have a 3 second green shield)

Am I really the only one who sees how retarded these claims are? (The first one is a valid point, but not even relevant to melee, since it isn't even an FFA only thing, melee is enabled on EVERY gametype in reborn boss Academy, hence why it can be considered a reborn boss Academy thing...)

I get that there is a vote that heavily favors taking melee off, but I won't take it seriously until you guys take this debate seriously.

I am completely open minded to the idea of taking melee out, but not when you guys can't even make a logical argument. No offense, but this just seems like unnecessary whining.

Okay here is my serious debate arguement.

I like the fact I can put weapons away when i run.

I like the fact I can punch the atst

I like the fact that when things are slow we can melee for the hecks of it

But most of all I don't understand why having it is such a big deal.....

That's all I got

Yeah, Tensor caught me spawning with melee out once, I think it is when you were in spec then join as the map restarts, or something along those lines.

I've never spawned with melee out.

I actually like getting a few melee kills....plus you have to give the horrible landos on defense of hoth some way of hurting the ATST. :)
