There should be a nice but simple hitting and blocking system when using melee weapons. For example: Lets say you have a baseball bat. Left click tap would be a swing, and holding down left click would make the player lift up the bat, and releasing the left click would let come smashing down on zombie brains. Using right click would toggle block, which the player would use to parry zombie attacks. This should include swipes, but not bites. Something like that would be a cool addition and make fighting with zombies a lot more interesting.

Y'know, ive been thinking of blocking techniques in the future FPS game im making. That sounds good! And they should also have different kinds of melee weapons too. Like a frying pan

Seems neat, How about a rifle butt and pistol whip for the guns.

need a sword XD

Posted by: Security Corporate August 07, 2006 08:32 am

And if possible, the weapons should wear out and break eventually. May seem difficult, but you dont need to add in fancy animations.

Yeah, but thats alot like Dead Rising Although it seems pretty neat, taking an antique axe and slashing the zombies' heads off

The player should also be able to use his/her fists when they have no weapon.

Posted by: iliketoblowzombieheadsoff August 09, 2006 02:53 am

speaking of his/her, bbs should have female player models and female npc zombie models too.

Posted by: Security Corporate August 09, 2006 08:00 pm

Funny you should suggest that.

Posted by: hunter August 09, 2006 08:32 pm

There mite be female zombies, who knows?

Posted by: mallic August 11, 2006 01:38 pm

lol he wants to check out female zombies with half of their clths torn off sick freak XD

Posted by: iliketoblowzombieheadsoff August 11, 2006 06:37 pm

ew... there boobs would have rotting flesh on top of it... ew.

Posted by: Hysterically Depressed August 12, 2006 12:45 am

erg.. moving on.. They should try some of the idea's of melee weapons from Land of the Dead 'Road to fiddlers green' There was a lot of weapon choices in that game. Except, it got pretty stupid when I found a golf club and a frying pan in a bathroom stall. Wonder what someone was doing with that frying pan in the bathroom...

Posted by: Security Corporate August 12, 2006 10:03 am

Yes, the melee combat in Road to Fiddlers Green was cool. BBS though should feature blocking! That would be more useful.

Posted by: Hysterically Depressed August 12, 2006 07:44 pm

haha you really like the idea of blocking.

Posted by: Security Corporate August 12, 2006 10:04 pm

Damn right!

Posted by: iliketoblowzombieheadsoff August 13, 2006 05:31 am

The blocking system should be like royal guard in DMC3. It reduces damage, but not fully. AND it can reduce zombie infection too!! OH THATS SO GREAT!! But the weapon should have a breaking point, when guard too much, it breaks. Guard moderately, reduces breaking point. Never guard=it can break, but not quickly.

Posted by: Hysterically Depressed August 14, 2006 12:15 am

yeah, like if your weapon is broken. You become in a daze for about 2-3 secounds trying to recover from what happened.. DMC3?

Posted by: iliketoblowzombieheadsoff August 14, 2006 12:46 am

Devil May Cry 3. Royal guard. It reduces dante's damage while performing it.

Posted by: Mic2070 August 14, 2006 10:44 am

If timed right dante is invincible and can kill bosses in one shot ><

Posted by: HerosBladeX August 27, 2006 05:55 pm

never used royal guard in dmc 3 i use gunslinger and i beat first 2 bosses without a single death on normal first time playing yet dmc1 took me a week to beat first level lol anyway back on topic anyway maby their should be some melee wepons like celerbres from dmc3 but a block system would be cool

Posted by: psychotic goth45 August 29, 2006 02:13 am

You need a LeD pIpE good old English weapon rip some zombie phases off lol Not to sound psychotic or any thing -wipers- even if I am a psycho

Posted by: iliketoblowzombieheadsoff August 30, 2006 01:31 am

Ew, no, bb would now be removed from its genre. I mean, having 3-rodded nunchuks in a zombie game? Only dante can be in that. Probably melee weapons from your surroundings, like a novelty axe from an indian tribe picked up for slicing heads off zombies.

Posted by: Hysterically Depressed August 31, 2006 01:19 am

"wow, what a convient indian tribal spear" errr... There should only be more common household items as weapons... and the occasional axe

Posted by: Security Corporate August 31, 2006 03:54 am

If there is a map in a redneck place, theres bound to be an Indian Tribal Spear somewhere lol.

Posted by: iliketoblowzombieheadsoff August 31, 2006 05:26 am

lol yeah And yeah depressed's right, there should be household items, like a telephone, or your comp, or your kitchen knife. Stuff Or when on an office, use the janitor's map, or your pens, computer once again

Posted by: Hysterically Depressed August 31, 2006 04:53 pm

hahaha nice sc. yeah, because your most likely to find a spoon or something then a sword... It would be cool if you could combine weapons like on RE Outbreak. Like ducktape them togther.. haha

Posted by: iliketoblowzombieheadsoff September 01, 2006 01:56 am

Although it would take longer for bbs to be developed. It can also be complicated in gameplay since there are so many shit you have to do.

Posted by: Hysterically Depressed September 01, 2006 05:38 am

Well... hmm.. I also wouldn't be the greatist at it.. "Saw + Shotgun = Saw'd off shotgun?" ... it's gotta work..

Posted by: QReaper September 01, 2006 05:44 am

If you want to break your arm firing it one handed when it was originally a two hander.
