Which FPS does melee combat best?

Killzone 3 for me had the best melee system, it destroys a game like Dead Island or Skyrim on melee, the feedback and satisfaction is total.

Counterstrike 1.6, because you actually have to work for that melee kill making it so much more satisfying in the end. Also, Quake 3.

Condemned had a pretty solid system once you got the hang of it.

Go hunt down a copy of Condemned 2. 90% of the game is First Person Melee (FPS other 10%) and that game was a blast to play.

Wasn't Condemned a horror game presented in first person view though?

FEAR 1 for me,with all those kicks...

Today,as a PC gamer,I don't like melee in many games,since they're console ports,you press the melee button,and the game unnaturally pulls you towards the enemy you are attacking,which is most notable in CoD games...

Yes, but melee combat represented a large chunk of the game.

Because of the incredibly tense atmosphere, the melee system was complimented very nicely.

It was also satisfying and had great feedback.

This Dead Island mod

You simply don't get better than that.

damn thats awesome :lol:

Even though it's a adventure/stealth/FPS hybrid, gonna mention Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay.

On that list i really like reach, always feels so satisfying when you get up close and beat some guy straight in the face.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay

Everything else fails.

No modern game has good FPS melee combat.

Condemned, Dead Island, Condemned 2, FEAR, Riddick. You know, games where melee combat isn't just 'click right stick in front of dude to instawin'

Lucianu

Yes, this too.

Jedi Knights II

SWTOR would be a lot better game if they implemented a similar system alongside the traditional MMO hotkeys. But Bioware didn't do that and won't, and instead of being good it's terrible.

Killzone 3 hands down. Their brutal melee is so awesome.

Goldeneye

In all seriousness, Perfect Dark 64 was pretty good with disarming and such.

Condemned was my answer too. Had the best melee-focused combat of any fps game I can remember.

Zeno Clash, although it's not really fair as it's more of a first person brawler than an FPS.

redneck rampage owns u can hit people with ur crowbar while ur shooting ur gun though.

Condemned has guns. They just aren't fun to use.

I think F.E.A.R. has the best melee combat. Fully incorporated all those martial arts moves in there.

[QUOTE="Phoenix534"]

[QUOTE="AcidSoldner"]But Condmned isn't a FPS (read: First PersonShooter). Don't understand why people aren't making that distinction.

It's like people claiming Fallout 3/New Vegas is an FPS and not an RPG. I've seen the argument used before.....

Because its funny to see some fly 50 feet in the air when doing it.

Does anybody even care how the game was marketed? No, they don't.

The game is an FPS because that's what it is; I guess you could classify it as a First Person Combat game or something...but it is still an FPS by default.

no love for the original Bioshock?? that wrench had some impact... as a matter of fact, my build was based on the wrench

[QUOTE="NeonNinja"]

[QUOTE="AcidSoldner"] Skyrim also lets me cook food, I guess it's a cooking simulator. The Condemned series has never been marketed as an First Person Shooter because it isn't one. You spend like 10% of the games using guns and the rest using melee weapons and your fists. How does that 10% instantly quantify the games as being shooters?AcidSoldner

Oh, totally forgot about FEAR. Slow-mo insta-kill flying kick ftw.

Condemed was the other way around, more of a BEMUP with some shooting here and there. I don't remember clearly but I think you couldn't even reload weapons, they were just like power items that you got here and there on levels. There was just like one level that focused on shooting.
