Anyone keepin' track o' my HEADS BATTED IN? BONK!
I really like melee combat in this game so far. I do it inappropriately, though, with classes like the Engineer. Smacking down a Scout with a monkey wrench is great:
*CLONK*
"AIEEEEEEE!"
"Take it like a man, Shorty!"
Or a Scout beating a Heavy Weapons Guy down with his aluminum baseball bat:
"AAARGH!"
"Eat it, Fatty!"
Going offensive with a Medic always seems to surprise people. Apparently being slashed with a bonesaw comes as something of a shock.
As a Sniper, nobody expects the Machete.
Being an angry Scottish demoman braining people with a bottle of booze is... not my cup of tea, but then again I just hate the Demoman class.
Everyone expects the Spy to get stabby. That's what he does.
So far the one I haven't had much luck with in melee is being the HWGuy. He's the slowest of the classes, and even slower when shooting, so by the time it comes down to melee he's probably already dead. And if not, he's still the slowest class, so it's going to be hard for him to come to grips with an enemy that isn't charging at him or unaware of him (somehow). As a Heavy, I DID manage to pummel an enemy Heavy to death, but he was both clueless as to my presence and spraying lead in another direction at my team.
