This probably will be dismissed right away but this game needs melee guys. Been playing other games that introduced melee at least in some capacity , like stabbing in the battlefield series for example, or even overwatch. Lets put aside the fact that melee is a thing in the battletech universe. It isn't like ppl will go full melee because that's not what I have seen, they might try on for the sake of following rule of cool, but a good player will know the right time to use it and it's pretty awesome when that happens, or when one ran out of ammo (or lazor r damaged) and there is no other alternative.

Way too often I see 2 mechs, no guns, with no other resource other than shoving each other for 1% worth of damage, which is silly btw that something that should be addressed as well, and dont get me started with mech-hugging, flea getting in the way of an atlas and succeeding at blocking the atlas's way? It deserves to be plummeted to the ground like the insect it's named after.

What inspired me to write this topic? I acquired the hatchetman, and gave it two axes, and it loooks sooo badass it's a shame it's only for cosmetics...just saying.

Good guess. They said multiple times melee won't be implemented in the game. For example, in the Hatchetman FAQ:

Q: Will melee be added to MWO in the future?
We are not looking to add Melee to MWO at this time.

I know I know, but I remember at some point they also said they wouldn't add more mechs and then the hatchetman was announced and now the stone rhino, just saying, but I agree, you are right.

Nope if you want melee go play mechwarrior 5. Devs wont do anything of the sort cause of a dragon raid during beta so we wont get knockdown or melee in mechwarrior online so we are just gonna be left with the chicken fight we have now but they have been working to stop the chicken fights from happening with little code influence by power creeping mechs with those fancy mech packs
