Just got my Game Informer and read the Mass Effect 3 cover story. pg 57 has a picture of an assault rifle with a bayonet attached! I really hope that its a one hit impale melee kill.

did you see the ninja on pg 55 with the sword! I cant wait for this game, seriously the greatest franchise to emerge this generation IMO.
I think you would be better off just with a knife, a pistol is kinda flimsy to thrust with and it doesn't give much reach.Irridium said:
An assault rifle with a bayonet attached? Isn't that a retro lancer? Seriously though, Shepard should have no need for a bayonet attached to his/her assault rifle. I'll take this all as some kind of hilarious misunderstanding, alongside the whole "Cerberus hate you now, so nyah" thing.Max Huerta said:

Well, here's to hoping that bayonet is a sign of Bioware putting more work into melee gameplay.
hehehe The captcha's have been getting more complicated. One of them wanted me to put in Epsilon and this the another wanted gamma. Wtf greek letters are not on your average mac keyboard and the laptops dont even have a num pad for ASCII lettering.Irridium said:The weapon mods did look pretty sweet.
I wonder if I can put the bayonet on a pistol...
lulz
OT: I guess I have to go and play the first 2 first. Yeah I probably should get around to playing the games fabled as some of the best RPG's of modern times.
Bear in mind, in ME, they're hand cannons not pistols and pretty chunky, I couls see one being used as a knuckleduster.Max Huerta said:
One captcha wanted me to put in an algebraic fraction. I honestly had no clue where I was even meant to start.xXGeckoXx said:hehehe The captcha's have been getting more complicated.

Topic? Oh, right. Yeah, uh, melee mods are cool. Kinda useful given the surprisingly high frequency of close-quarters combat in Mass Effect. Better then beating people in the face with your forearm, anyway.
Perhaps. Though the whole concept of knifing someone just doesn't seem very "Mass Effect" to me. Given all the advances in technology that are meant to exist in the ME world (biotics barriers, shields, tech combat drones, heavy weapons and the like), I can't really see what relevance a mere knife would have in an ME combat scenario. Though perhaps I'm fussing over nothing. If it's an optional attachment, then I guess all I need to do is just not attach it to my rifle when I get the game.Max Huerta said:
Perhaps ME3 would be the perfect time to introduce an Unreal Tourny style "Shield Gun" as a melee attachment.
I play as the soldier class and when the assault rifle sometimes i get surprised by a flanking enemy and I wish I had the shotgun out. Perfect for a bayonet. But to each his own play style. Also hoping for an m203 style under rifle grenade launcherMarsProbe said:Perhaps. Though the whole concept of knifing someone just doesn't seem very "Mass Effect" to me.
