It won't be a thing.

I swear this comes up at least once a month!

The engine can't do melee fighting, nuff said.

Read the PGI's latest official announcement regarding the possibility of physical attacks in MechWarrior Online:

Piranha Games Inc. said:

Q: Will melee be added to MWO in the future?
Melee is not a feature supported by MechWarrior Online. We are not looking to add Melee to MWO at this time.

If you want physical attacks, buy MechWarrior 5.

Hopefully with the success of MW5 and Clans we might get an MWO 2 with a newer engine that can support Melee. It works wonderfully in MW5 and makes some mechs that seem under armed far more capable, and would further diversify playing clans vs inner sphere.

Major bummer. Feel like you could add "battle fists" as a new weapon with high damage, recoil damage if you connect, and 10m range. I'm guessing the problem with the engine has to do with the animation?

Another fun addition would be death from above. Make the damage from landing on someone really hurt. I would imagine that wouldn't be as hard to implement.
