I think running around with a bat and smacking people would cool. It is a better idea than a chainsaw right?

No, because compare it to the others...

Knife
One hit kill per stab
can be thrown lethally

Chainsaw
One long attack, kills in about half a second, same duration as one combat knife stab
Longer reach than the others

Bat
Many hit kill
can't be thrown, and if it could, it wouldn't be lethal

Y'see, the combat knife and chainsaw are around equal now, but a bat would be pants, and useless. Thik about your suggestions.

Of course Michal will put a big nasty crooked nail through the head of the bat. Thus, making it a bit more... effective.

And by the way, you are wrong, a thrown bat is lethal. Believe me. In fact, it´s easier to kill a man with a thrown bat than a throwing knife...

The bat could knock people a long distance away, and have a slightly longer range then the knife or chainsaw (as well as a swing that covers the area around you.) That would make it different.

However, I don't like this idea. Two close range weapons (plus fists) is already more then we need.

a bat.....that way we'd all look like gangsters and fight gangwars, maybe a bandanna to match it with...lol. and and and shields (riot shield) that u can bring up as one of the primally weapons.

Are you people ever happy? Yeesh!

It would be great if it could deflect ´nades! Someone throws a nade at you and you swing it righ back at him!

theres one good point in using the bat.

^ Ditto

GO PLAY WORMS, not only do we have special melee weapons, but every gun can be used to hit with

What are you, some sort of mob leader? Dude, how many people CAN'T catch a bat flying at them, but how many can catch a knife without getting hurt?

Pffft, idiot.


Are you daft? You actually think you can catch a thrown bat?

For your information, a throwing knife has such a low mass it can easily be deflected by your arm. Perhaps you´ll bleed some, but so what? Try to deflect a thrown bat with your arm, and the arm will be broken and bruised. Believe it.

As to my experience of bats and their damage capacity - my brother was hit by a bat during a baseball game. The guy hitting the ball was drunk and was going to get the ball hard. Really hard. He lost grip of the bat, which flew straight into the field of players and crushed my brothers forehead. He was lucky not to catch it over the face, or in the back of his head. Or in the eyes. Side of the head. Throat. Or even his backbone and neck. Any of those areas would have killed him. Instead, hes forehead took the impact, giving him two weeks intensive care.

Don´t underestimate the power of an object moving towards you at great speed. Golf clubs do that. As well as bats. Even when not thrown. The end of a bat moves at twelve times the speed of your hands when swinging it. Thats 12 times the energy when impact.

Well no comment bout the above post but... Y would Soldat's Be carring around Bat? Sure, y would they have Chainsaws right? well its a big difference, if you're a soldier you would no that Chainsaws are the most dangerous close-up tools. No soldier actually uses one but its the most dangerous close-up tool around. How about a BAT, why wouldn't he just take a hockey stick or an axe, golf puter, lets even add a crowbar. NO SOLDIER WOULD THINK OF TAKING THESE, they're not Ness(fighting around with BATS), If any of you don't no ness SHAME ON YOU!

Super smash brothers melee forever!!!!!!

I think a less effective closecombat-weapon would be just OK. Remember, that the hosting server can turn off the more effective weapons ...

People running aroud with only either a SOCOM or a bat would be just fun. Or would it?

Just my opinion, maby the bat would be just plain useless to most situations.

Oh well ...

they had baseball bats equiped in vietnam and desert storm for beating the locals, why not in soldat?
