The easy melee kills I was getting in the beta were definitely fun albeit overpowered. Now it's like 3 punches to kill. If there is ammo in your clip a melee is a waste of time. Shooting from the hip is more effective. A two hit kill would be more balanced.
Melee is always meant to be the finishing blow to finish off your injured enemy.If you are expecting to bring an elbow to a gun fight and still win it,then stop playing FPS games.
