So with a good selection of melee weapons and with more to come, it would be fitting to add items that give reason to use them. Basically how it goes is you use melee as a fresh spawn until you find or craft guns because anyone with range is almost guaranteed to win in most combat situations. Maybe items could be made that disables guns or nullifies their usage, such as riot shields or perhaps a special grenade that locks up ranged weapons forcing that person to either use melee or run. As of now time is being wasted on melee weapons that are only cool the first couple of times you hold them and provide no real defense against anyone but fresh spawns.
Giving melee weapons more lethality might be better than nerfing guns. Someone suggested being able to hold the left mouse button to "wind up" your swing--that could do it. Or buffed out bonuses for backstab or shot placement to reward you sneaking up close. Going toe-to-toe melee vs gun head-on really shouldn't be an option, but if you can get close and surprise someone melee weapons should [i]hurt[/i].
