<div class="IPBDescription">sneak attack insta-kills</div><!--sizeo:4--><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->hello everybody let me start off by apologizing if this topic has ever come up, i tried a search for it but i could not find anything about it.

<!--sizeo:3--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Moving on, imo i think the devs should add in a special attack for each weapon i.e. shotgun, axe, pistol etc. and each lifeform i.e. skulk, lerk, fade etc. where if you can sneak up behind a player you can achieve an insta-kill animation/assassination attempt on a player. you can even make it to be an attack masher attack, by that i mean, both players have to click mouse repeatedly in order to achieve success or lose attempt if other player is faster at mouse click. that may be worded strangely but i hope everyone knows what i am trying to say. It could even go as far as being an upgrade for each player idk. Anyway i would very much like to see this in the game, i think it would add a stealth-style of gameply into the game. As of right now i do not have this game so i have no idea what playing it is like but it looks absolutely amazing. But i do not know how this would affect current gameplay and i would like to hear from the community on this matter and let me know what you all think. Feel free to agree or disagree :)<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

thanks mate!!
In the end, instant death melee weapons are made for games where the predominate method of killing one another is ranged weaponry, there has to be some kind of reward to getting a knife out and sticking someone, if it just did normal damage it would be almost worthless. In NS2 tons of gameplay for the aliens take place at point blank range, and while I admit, I've never been killed by a hatchet, I don't see that changing even with some kind of kill animation and instant death from behind, you just rarely get ambushed by a marine at melee range.
o on a side note, i know i havent played this game yet but that doesnt mean that i still cant make mention on an idea here or there i just wish som1 had an extra copy i could use or something cuz even the beta looks tremendously fun!
thx for the input azimaith
As marine, if you sneak up on an alien unloading a clip of pistol (which can happen very quickly) into their rear is most likely going to kill them/leave them badly crippled.
