Please fix "Melee when Shooting"

Post » Tue Mar 05, 2013 7:00 am

The ONLY serious issue I'm still having with MP is this. At random every so often when shooting I will melee. It is DEFINITELY not me accidently pressing the right thumb stick. I've tested out running around and lightly pressing it, and no melee. It only happens in a firefight. I've seen it happen to players I've played against as well.

You will get someone in your sights, line em up, pull the trigger gun will start to fire then all of a sudden for no reason you will do a melee mid firefight and then usually end up dead.

Its frustrating as its very random. I've noticed it doesn't happen when you unlock a new gun for a while (or perhaps just coincidence?) then it starts happening. Is it when you add certain attachments?

I've tested three controllers out, tested shooting without my thumb being anywhere near the right thumb stick and it still happens.

I know others have what they might see as "bigger issues" but I don't suffer lag, most games are great fun and I really like the game. But this "bug" or whatever it is, is beginning to annoy me more and more. And I've seen it happen to lots of people I'm playing against to, they'll have me cornered be firing I'm about to drop and they'll suddenly melee and I'll kill them. Then you hear the swearing in frustration.

Please, please fix this!

I actually have more of an issue with not being able to shoot after meleeing. There's a delay that seems a tad too long and I can never time it right. Thus I get killed while meleeing more often than not.

@OP

You are pressing the melee button unconsciously, trust me. It's not the game. Your tensing your fingers when your in a gunfight.

I did it ALL THE TIME when I was new to the game, now I NEVER do it. Crytek can't fix this as it's your mistake.

Although he said that he tested it without his thumb being anywhere near the button.

Yes, although he tested it. If it was a common problem there would have been threads about it. It's a newbie mistake, I made it all the time when I was a low level when I used to tense up in a gunfight. Never happens now

You are tensing up, and you don't notice it because you are not paying attention to your thumbs on your controller, and you don't notice it when you are concentrating on doing it.

Ummm no I do it to and I've tested it and with my thumb off the stick I get a random melee when in a firefight. Private Match two of us testing and I get it and he didn't don't know what does it but something does.

Dude, you're the only one I've ever heard complain about this. Perhaps your controller is very sensitive, at the end of the day it's not the game.

Melee during firefight does indeed happen.

It is definitely absolutely 100% NOT my error. At first I assumed it was. But then on other forums it has been reported. Last night it happened and my thumb was not on the right thumb stick at all. And like I say I've tested it will 3 controllers. Other people are seeing it happen as shown in this thread. And another forum I'm on people were reporting it (like me thinking it was their error)
http://www.avforums.com/forums/xbox-360-first-third-person-shooter-games/1432078-crysis-2-play-help-thread-12.html

And I see it happen to other players in the game, they'll be shooting at you and all of a sudden melee.

What I haven't tried is switching the button config round to see if that makes a difference but I kind of like it how it is.
