Spade melee not even worth it

[lolpwned23]

The spade does not give a one hit kill, nor a 2 or 3. On a full health person it is about 4

I find this bothersome, melee weapons are usually 1 hit kills because you need to get close enough to do it

depends on the server mannn.

No, I think it would work for all serversrr

If you played Aos long enough you would know the defualt ( no script ) Its 1 hit 1 kill.

Yeah, but ever since the .75 update, its been 2-3 hits for me. Either it's my lag (45 ping average which would be illogical for a 2-3 hit kill) or the update sucks.

I like the spade as is.

It isn't designed to be a dedicated melee weapon such as the knife in CoD. Its for use when tunnelling when the enemy drops into your tunnel right in front of you.

That's what I use it for, and it works.

Imagine it with 1 hit kill, it would be way OP. One speed hack later and the server is screwed, especially since no one these days seems to vote. Also imagine the infuriation of trying to get into the enemy spawn to get the intel....

They would just spawn, switch to spade and run at anything that moves, it would be a blood bath.

Speedhacks rape anyways, they dont need shovel to be feasible to do that. on the servers im on where spade is a one hit, ive never seen people exclusively try to use it as a weapon, it actually seems quite balanced.

Balanced, with 1 hit kill? iv seen similar, and on such servers it was a VERY rare occasion when any team scored a cap.

Your team shouldnt suck and die to a close range melee attack then, especially when you can just about 1 hit with every weapon bar smg which is 2 hit.

So do we just what for ben to hopefully read this or can we send it to him?

Yeah, but considering that most speedhackers don't even know spade melee...
Anyways, nice post. I'll think about that.

sooo, spades do melee damage to teammates, dont they?
1 hit kill + griefers = MOTHER OF FRIENDLYFIRE

[Bandage]

Aim for the head, and one hit kill will occur.
Or is it just me?

No wait, I think it's two... sometimes...

Well, for me it's as good as it is. While tunneling it's still a mighty weapon when I meet an enemy on front of me - it's not designed for combat situations anyway.
I'm just thinking about 1 hit kills while you're actually behind the enemy. It could make a little bit more sense too, as a some kind of an 'assassination kill. Trust me, I've been in a couple situations like that, ending up dying because the enemy was too wise to turn around immidiately when he recognized my last unsilenced step before hitting him.
Not a big addition, but could be a nice punishment for those who doesn't want to listen the surroundings.

I think it should be 1 hit when moving normally.
If sprinting, I think you should be able to use the spade and kill in 2 or 3 hits :D
