... carry you several feet forward in space?
It just... it's starting to drive me crazy.
I liked emoting to people between waves in ME3MP. Light melee was the easiest way (or Krogan headbutt). Now, we don't have light melee and Krogan headbutt is just... freaking WEIRD.
I tried to relive the old days last week during the "Deeper Into The Ruins" mission when both myself and another player took Krogan Mercenaries. We had that moment where we both stood there looking at each other. I headbutted... and it shot me all the way PAST the Krogan I was trying to headbutt. He tried to return the headbutt, but same problem. We still managed to kinda do the friendly headbutt between waves for the remainder of the mission, but it was weird and sad because it was more of a "launch ourselves several feet past each other" move than a butting of the armored foreheads.
Nothing is sacred anymore. Nothing.

Luckly I've found the dahn, so melee is only used in a very specific situation.

Yep. You've got to gather around a piece of low cover to approximate the ME3 headbutt handshake.
If this Bioware was the real deal they would have understood the power of the headbutt as greeting.
At least they buffed Rage.

You're not going far enough, roll into jdash like a fighting game, you'll travel about a fourth of the map and one shot anything in your way if you've spec'd right. If you're gonna heresy, might as well dance with devil while you're at it. also |

It has its use though.
When two or three Raiders/Chosens/LolAssemblers roughly stand in a line, you can kill them all in one hit.

Guys,
I'm talking about friendly Krogan headbutting between teammates being impossible because of the bizarre headbutt physics in MEAMP.
I'm not talking about meleeing enemies.
I... thought that was pretty clear in my OP?

I would headbutt back. But, yes, not as enjoyable as in the past.
Off topic, DR, just spent a few days in your neck of the woods at Amelia Island. Just beautiful beach and area in general.

This is what I end up doing between waves. Sometimes other players will actually join in if they see me. There was one time I tried to headbutt greet another player but I ended up flying past him and hit an explosive container that they were standing next to. We both got hurt. |

You can get on the same piece of low cover (you and fellow your Krogan on the opposite side) and go nuts. I've done it as a Krogan against and an Asari and had an Angaran come flying in and jabbin' his pocket knife at everyone! The Angaran went full Roberto!  |

The melee animations are just annoying. For starters they're overdone: jumping forward with the omni blade? what is this? Mass Effect : pre teenager edition?
But the worst is how melee locks your camera, your movement, and auto-moves you forward with, I believe, every kit. Countless times that let me with my ass on the line of fire. I just want to hit someone with melee, I don't want to move! If I want to move forwards after melee, then I do, there's no need for the game to take control over the player. Is that so hard to accomplish?
Krogan specifically is the worst. Due to the camera locking and what have you, it's super easy to miss melee because AI moves 6x faster than your snail grade headbutt animation: you end up like an idiot meleeing the air, and then end up dead. A dead idiot because of stupid mechanics.

So, they get us stuck in an animation that doesn't lock-on and still takes away control. It's one of the finest examples of missing the point that this game has to offer. |
