why i can't fight alien with fists?
Drigovas:
This reminds me oddly of someone i knew in college who, when watching the movie 'aliens', made macho comments about "If i was there, i'd punch that alien *** right in the face and " blah blah
it's pretty silly. Wrestle a bear kinda silly.
Frankly even the combat knife is pretty silly [and honestly I don't even bother researching the blade weapons]
If you're fighting an alien legion, and you stupidly didn't pack sufficient ammo, and stupidly left your knife at home [only stupid if you didn't pack the ammo], then yes, you get down on your knees and wait for death.
Oh, and hello everyone, neat project you've all got here!

This is just a game.
I am very surprised that highly trained special forces can't use hand-to-hand fight. Nonsense!
ubequitz:
Weaponless hand-to-hand combat would be a nice addition to the game even if it doesnt have much practical use. The only problem is animating this sort of combat (and the few modellers/artists we have contributing are flat-out with other aspects of the game at the moment).
jhcook1999:
I agree, unarmed hand-to-hand combat is needed. If your soldiers panic, and they drop all of their weapons, they need a way to defend themselves. Also it is possible that the aliens have dropped thier weapons, (like after they're paniced, or after they've been stunned and gotten back up) and you don't want to kill them, just knock them out.
Let's say you KO a commander on a mission first off, you were lucky enough to have him close to the dropship when you arrived and now he's out cold. If you have limited your supply of stunrods, and sent that supply looking for other aliens, the closest soldier may only have guns, and with reaction time in place, he may kill the commander instead of capturing him alive, making you go and find another commander and waiting even longer to advance.
