Gameplay: Laser katanas

[MFour]

Right now, if you get really up close to the enemy, the best thing you can do is pull out a pistol or shotgun and hit him point blank. What if there were more options? I'm talking about some empire specific melee weapons, which would take a lot of certs to get or could be bought and would be quite an improvement in range over the knives. And they'd have to look really cool and have good animations =P

For example, a long, sleek katana-like blade for the VS, a sort of chainblade (like a chainsaw and sword combined) for the NC and and... something for the TR.

This wouldn't affect most combat situations, but it would be fun to use as an infiltrator who right now has to snipe the target from point blank to kill it if they infiltrate an enemy base.
