It would be cool to use some kind of hunter attack system from the L4D series. but either letting the alien do A LOT more damage or needing the other marines to help the pounced marine really fast, or he's auto killed. the only melee I can see here is the kind that hinders the alien, not any bloody punches, just pure defence so maaaaybe your comrades can come to your aid.
And yes I agree. Punching an alien is retarded. you wouldn't punch a tiger... you'd try to keep the claws and fangs of you and scream like a little girl (I would  )

Sorry to say but I completely disagree with you... if a tiger pounced on me I would immediately commence the eye-gouging and begin punching f*ck out of it, probably all for naught though...

No tigers were harmed in the making of this post.

There is already attack like that, just watch the 1 hour long gameplay vid.

I've never played/watched L4D but I assume your talking about the arc-aimed lurker pounce?

[WinterActual]

Yes, in L4D its the same but its instant - I mean you just crouch and if you press attack you will pounce on the enemy.

[FightFinda]

Aah right, I have to admit I think I like the sound of ACMs pounce better since you actually have to aim via an arc and I can't really see people pouncing on marines mid-action, from the looks of things, it forces lurker players to hide in the shadows and then leap out at their victim due to the time it would take to aim, predict the target's next movements etc.

What is your opinion?

[WinterActual]

I hope this "aim" means some delay, which is better. In L4D you can spam the bounce as long as you want until you don't hit somebody and actually grab him.
