Ok, I'm sorry if you've heard this a billion times already, but with advanced melee around, I think we should put basic melee to rest.
Too many people exploit basic melee. It's practically impossible to counter. Sure, you can block and counter, but a smart attacker will quickly maneuver around you and hit you in an open spot, then again as you're flying away. Then, as you lay on the floor, they spray you with energy.
When you get back up, the combo starts again.
Basic melee is the reason I stopped playing ESF way back when advanced melee didn't exist. People are using enough cheap tactics as it is. Why must we continue to have basic melee if advanced melee gives the defending player such a better chance of helping himself against the attacker.
Advanced Melee keeps the melee fighting fair and reasonable. What was the point in making it if you still allow people to use basic melee?
I'm sorry. Maybe I'm noob, which I am. Maybe I just don't know the way to counter someone who uses the tactic I described-that's very possible. If there is a way to counter that tactic, then please tell me.
Lastly, if there's nothing that can be done, then could you at least tell me if there's a command to type to disable basic and not advanced melee? If there isn't a command to disable basic melee, could you make one? Thanks.
