disable melee in stealth mode

Post » Sun Mar 20, 2011 10:46 pm

How many times you wasted all your suit energy accidentally meleeing while cloaked (mostly pressing V instead of C trying to crouch), or trying to stealth kill someone and pressing V while not in the right angle exactly behind him?

What's your opinion on melee in stealth mode? Should the player be given option to disable it via options menu?

I never hit V instead of C, I changed the keys. xD

But I often died because stealth kill wasn't working. To tell the truth, I almsot never use stealth kill since weeks ago, it's too depressing to do a normal melee just because you're in teh wrong angle....I always shoot them. Sure, I lose my suit energy, but at least the enemy is dead.

Nah, remapped melee to T and I'm totally okay.
I say NO.

I have the same problem. ALWAYS when I'm behind an enemy, and it says "press V for Stealth Kill" and I press it, the game makes me do a melee, that does no damage (because every shot and hit from cloak does absolutely no damage) and in most cases I get shot by the moron I wanted to stick a knife in the throat.

Why do you say "No"? Lol, if it is an option, it's no problem, right? :D

I never use stealth kill anymore, since I almost melee the enemy normal. And then I die. I only use it, when the enemy is still standing (like snip0rz)

Option is fine, but I still voted no because you should use your head and remap the keys.. we're on PC, use the advantages.

What does remapping the keys have to do with the game not detecting your stealth kill?

^that's the point. If you don't want to "mismelee" your enemy, because you hit the button in the moment "Stealth Kill" appeared and you just melee him, an option to disable normal melee in stealth mode would be nice. :D

Ok, sorry, I thought only of the second point he made, because I never accidently melee while Cloak. If you know me, you can guess why.

I still think it wouldn't hurt anybody if there were an option to disable melee in stealth.
Original key mapping is the best, because when I change it, it's not practical anymore like it is when default... only if there wasn't that problem hitting V instead of C (because I have too big fingers for PC keyboard and I don't feel comfortable playing, and that's why in panic I often hit the wrong button xD LOL)
Maybe I'll try to remap melee from V to mouse middle button, if it's possible...

Remap melee to the mouse, it's the most practical solution is you have a depressable scrollwheel, or more than 2 buttons.
