You know what Call of Duty 4 needs?

ok, heres my idea.

obviously its cool to knife people, but man its so annoying sometimes when you're reloading or not quite paying attention and out of the corner of your eye you spot Rambo coming at you and *stab* you're dead. the game needs a sort of melee combat or blocking.

what if the game could implement some kind of melee combat mechanic, sort of based on control sequences i've seen in games like God of War.

like, if someone tries to knife you and you hit the "counter-melee" button, you both enter a sort of duel mode, where one is pushing to knife, the other has used his gun to prevent the attack, now its man vs man. a serious of timed button presses appears, and given its a multiplayer match players will be tense and make mistakes, soon as you miss a press the other wins, either the knife comes forward and stab=kill or the other guy pushes the knifer back, throwing his arms in the air and giving the opportunity to pump him with bullets.

a maximum of 4 button presses would appear, and if both players were to successfully react and press their queued button, both would push off each other, slightly dazed and allowing others to attack them off guard or give the knifer another chance to lunge again, or the gunner the chance to regain stance and spray him.

sure might not be equal opportunity for a knifer if both players push off each other, but hey, thats the risk knifers will take, chances are most people wont get time to react and counter anyway, would be nice to have the opportunity though.

Horrible idea. * walks to car, gets inside ... drives away*

That is not needed. If there were 2 guys randoml fighting in the middle of an open space both would be doomed.

you must just be careful not to let someone get that close. if you are reloading just et out your pistol, shoot him a bit, then whilst that guy is panicking stab him. Or just reload at a safe distance or use slight of hand.

if you are in a situation where you are stabbed by someone in front of you its your own fault.

Hey_Big_Boy

Agreed...hey, wait for me!! :?

No offense but thats a terrible idea, can you imagine if the two players are rolling around on the ground dueling like that for 30 seconds or less they are going to get shot way before either gets the upper hand.....OneLessFinger

If I saw that i'd call an airstrike on them.^_^ Haha what i'd like to see is to be able to combine overkill with last stand. So you could go into last stand with Saw. Haha jk.

Well it slows down the pace in games, at first your concentrating on reloading then suddenly you go to this duel mode then you win then get shot.

Suck it up and knife him back.

It would break up the pace of the game.

I like the idea of having knife melee, gun-butt melee, snap an enemies neck, or grab an enemy by the neck and at point blank range, use your gun to which your TV screen splatters with blood. Ok, I'm gone now.

A NEW PATCH SO THAT IT SUPPORTS THE RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SnakeLMR

haha you're brilliant. I was just thinking that the other day.

Naa, I like the melee system. Silent, but deadly. War-Tex

So are my farts.

it needs a rehabilitation center. i hate this game.GUNpoint_

[QUOTE="GUNpoint_"]it needs a rehabilitation center. i hate this game.swamplord666

lol. my k/d ratio is 3.00. i've played CoD4 enough for a lifetime. i hate this game because i can never seem to stop playing it. it's like its controlling me.

wow, tough crowd. i guess weed really doesnt give you good ideas. they seem good at the time though.

well, obviously the two duelling could go into a sort of invincible mode, where others cannot kill them. and it would be a very quick succession of button presses, so as not to slow down the game, would keep you on your toes even more than you already are. and it would be cool and pretty funny seeing these random duellings going on. it would happen in real life after all, deathmatch knife fights...maybe. haha.

oh well, i accept my idea didnt appeal. you're all not as cool as me i guess. hahaha 8)

You know what would be a better idea? Not reloading out in the open and dropping your guard so someone can get within inches of you to stick a knife in you.Generic_Dude

Your logic wins!

That is kinda doesn't make sense cause them being invincible would prolly break up the pace even more. Imagine you're playing hq or domination and you're teetering on the edge of defeat. And two players are stuck in this animation duel. Or some guy sees you dueling and plops a c4 near you waiting for the animations to end.

Terrible idea. Sorry but that is the worst idea ever. You would both be dead anyway if you did that. Sounds like somebody got a little upset that players are better at knifing than him.theycallmeryan

lol yeah, games make me hell upset. or i was just thinking creatively?. i just thought it up to put a spin on the game. lol its not to prevent knifing, but in real life if you're in the army and you see a dude knife rush you (not that anyone would in this day and age), you're not gonna strafe left or right, if its too late you use your weapon to block the attack, then it becomes a duel.

it need vehicles

not some DBZ Kamehameha style duels

Yeah, but the problem is, COD4 is a FPS and that in itself does open problems to melee combat, especially small weapons like knives. The main problem is if you enter a knife war the screen(your eyes) will always shake, not too healthy for you if you do it too much. The best way to get it to work is to put it into a third person game, but as you can see we have a hard time imagining how it could turn out in gears2. If you like knife wars I suggest you go play CS or something, it'll get dull after a while.
