Melee only - informalities

[Mark3h]

Melee is feckin broken tbh,some of the unlocks,equalizer and kgb mostly have fucked up the balance in it
equalizer especially,jesus christ i dont know how many times ive been critted by a full health solly and died.Complete bollocks if ya ask me

Agreed, reminds me of an incident on the server a while back, a few people were giving out that during sudden death Scouts shouldn't use the Sandman's alt fire (this was before the target could run around and was left standing still)
Myself and a few others contested this, saying the KGB gave heavies the ability to take down several people with easy, that and you might as well say no spies during sudden death because of backstabs being too much of an advantage.

Melee only should be kept to weapon slot 3 only, with all the perks of using whichever unlock is being used, the game is for having fun right? So people should stop complaining and just get stuck in!

Spy's can't disguise themselves as that isn't weapon 3, but the cloak is just alt-fire, so can they cloak?

Do you allow jarate? yes
Allowed flares to set people on fire for axetinguisher? no, its a gun
Allow targes? yes
Allow buff banners? yes
Medics healing? no
Dispensers/Teles? yes and yes, but no sentries

[Fester]

does it not suggest that if you play Melee you only use your melee weapon? and since spy's melee weapon is a backstabbing knife hardly fair...

some melee weapons are more overpowered than others but again i guess this is why tf2 is not a melee only game

dream - allow dispenser but not medic healing ?
tele's???

melee should b limited to slot 3 with all its bonuses such as spy backstab , boink , targe ,crit equalizer crit boxing gloves and so on ...

u know , the medic ubersaw gets him the uber/crits , why isnt that allowed -since it gets it by stabbing - earning it with blood ... a lot of arguments can b brought , suming it up as i see it - slot 3 only with all its pluses and minuses , no building what so ever no jarate, no cloaking (backstabing should b a reward for playing spy...) simply slot 3 and whats coming with it

Anything ranged or items which give an unfair advantage should stay the hell out of a melee only match in my opnion. That includes that godawful sandman, the medigun, buffbanner, spy's watches, razorback etc.
In a melee match players should only use melee weapons, no exceptions. Well maybe the odd teleporter on large maps.

the medic buff would mess everything up imo. KGB invunerable heavy = death. but i suppose you could always just use only your 3key melee weapon and nothing else like you say

You're damned right Fester!

why play a game that has flamethrowers, rocket launchers and miniguns if you aren't going to use them?

[BBloke]

For a short time only I've removed the random class thing during melee only. I'm not sure how it works but I'm guessing you will stay as the class you played last but we will see.

[Flynnstone]

Maybe im biased but the only melee i actually enjoy is ambushing people playing normally with the KGB
