SS:2845: Not Star Wars

Posted by: Mhaddy at 12:57 PM 

It has long been explained on our Starsiege:2845 weapons page and mentioned briefly in our news that infantry will be supplied with default melee weapons, such as the Imperial Saber or Colonial Shockmace (details). However, in an ongoing effort to squash rumours, Trajan posted an update on the official forums.

To reiterate, melee weapons are non-interchangeable; meaning, when you spawn, the melee weapon you have is the only one you'll have. They are more or less the equivalent to the default knife that you receive in other games. Moreover, while they are powerful, they are not "one hit kill wonders" and will only be effective against other infantry (d'uh). Lastly, the most that you can expect out of melee fighting are some jabs or [perhaps a] block: do not expect melee fighting to match that of Star Wars.
