It's a pretty good mech even without the melee, though. Also fits into a niche that isn't overrun by other mechs: 45 tons. Torso mounted AC10, two MLs in the arms. Jump Jets...
It would be a pretty good mech. And with melee, it would be that much more nasty.

Collisions is one thing, as its first off already been in the game and second is fairly simple compared to melee. This requires the entire mech control mechanics to be redesigned and would potentially take up at least a year of work to get working between coding, animation, and new art assets as well as balancing it.
You might be able to get away with the Hatchetman (I think?) that used the mech sized handheld weapons though.

Honestly, I dont think axe/sword fighters will make it in anytime soon. Would be nice to see them, especially if mechs like the Atlas can use their fists for punching.

I therefore support the hatchetman for the next several years or until such time as it is delivered.

Did I miss a Mechwarrior installment somewhere? I don't remember any of them ever having melee. Heck even MechCommander didn't have melee and that would've been far more manageable.

Not sure about melee per say, I do remember death from above being in though.

Dude, I would love to have the Chameleon. People gush about the Phoenix Hawk, but neglect the fact that the Chameleon is better armed, has more robust structure, has better armor placement in TT, and the same speed.
MWO-wise, however, the difference would be the arm mounted ballistics of the PHX versus the Chameleon's CT mounted. Not sure how that would pan out for people.
