That makes me moist.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Most people already know this, in the second mission of single player: Cliffhanger. I was recently playing this cause i was really bored and realized that IW could possibly put this in the game (sorry if theres a thread already discussing this btw.)

The Icepicks.

Yes you know what i mean, those akimbo ice picks you use to climb the ice walls. You can see there is even an animation when you use R1 and L1, possibly a new melee feature? Think about it, IW added new options for killstreaks, so maybe their could be a new melee weapon?

After thinking about it there could be many possible ways of doing this, some of which could be..
1. Weapon attachment
2. Optional Melee
3. Primary weapon/Secondary weapon
4. Perk

1. Weapon attachment
Yes, there is already the tactical knife, Some of you might even be saying the tactical knife might as well be the icepicks replacement. I dont see how it could work, maybe it could be held with the same hand, or in your other hand simultaneously.

2. Optional melee
Good ol' knife. After Roach nearly falls down the cliffside, Soap saves him. You may have thought you lost the icepicks but they are still on your hand. How? They are attached to your sleeves. Utilizing this in MP, your player could have the icepick fixed to your sleeve so when you go to melee, the arm will swiftly move in to stab the enemy.

3. Primary weapon/Secondary weapon
This is much like the riot shield in this case, and could even be used against the riot shield. The picks could be dual-wield and you can run around to knife- or icepick somebody. Although this is similar to the tactical knife, it could be an alternative. Maybe the picks could penetrate riot shields somehow, or penetrate them enough to stun the riot shielder for a few seconds. I see these more of a secondary weapon if i had to choose.
4. Perk
This is pretty much the equivalent to world at wars flamethrower. I dont see this as much useful seeing as all 3 perk tiers can be used for a knifing class (Marathon/Lightweight/Commando.) If ever put into multiplayer, im sure IW could find a way.

Thats my suggestion for a new addition to Modern Warfare 2. Ill take any rant or anybody willing to agree with me, just post. If you have any suggestions i would be more then happy to post it up here crediting you.

Rep/Thank/Nominate if you found my suggestion useful Awesome face

That would be so unfair haha

My idea is they add a feature where you can customize your melee weapon, changing the type of weapon, anything from a knife to a fire extinguisher, and the colour. Maybe every 10 levels you'd unlock a new melee weapon, and each time you prestige, a new colour or skin for the weapon, the last being Gold skin. Wouldn't decaptitating someone with a golden pickaxe just be epic? Or beating their skull in with a gold fire extinguisher?


You lost me at fire extinguisher o.O

Basically I said it would be awesome if we could have different melee weapons and customize the colour of them.

Im really surprised they didnt make equipment upgradable, like the upgradable perks.
Mainly cos you walk through a field full of modern Bouncing Bettys in story mode.

Before the game came out i thought it would be something like this.
Frags -> Semtex
Claymores -> Bouncing Bettys

you know that kinda thing!
lol think of how crazy throwing knifes could be.
Throwing knifes -> throwing TOMAHAWKS lol

My list if that happened would be:

Frag - Semtex
Throwing Knife - Shuriken (Less of an arc)
Tactical Insertion - No idea
Claymore - Bouncing Betty
C4 - No idea

C4 would probably be a timebomb, like you set the time you want for it when you plant it.

Bouncing Betties would rule.

Maybe you could choose bear traps and place them around trapping people and get them to bleed to death.

Also they could put the branch whip from Far Cry Evolution in corners to kill all those campers.

Thinking about it, no so modern... but fun
