PC New A17 weaponry ?

Yes, halberd....but that's about the same size as a spear. If you're indoors it's going to be dangerously tricky to use this with a shield (i.e. with one hand) without backing the haft into a wall, or curtains, or your friend Ned's little sister. I'm thinking more of a short sword with a cross guard to keep the zombies at a little better than arm's length, but still be maneuverable.

They were never used on short spears because giving your enemy a leverage point at the head of your own weapon is a bad idea, it can be pulled forward and the enemy can step inside your guard with relative ease.

There's a weapon similar to the type you're describing in the "World War Z" book.

-"Yeah good idea, thanks mate"

Best comment.

 
Just go into your wife's XML file and change the CupSizeLeft and CupSizeRight properties:
<property name="CupSizeLeft" value="15.75"/>

<property name="CupSizeRight" value="15.76"/>

Because truth. (One is always slightly smaller...)

 
They did mocap for a17 so I'm thinking if they added new melee weapons we probably would have seen some word about that by now.

 
The fireaxe and shovel have been re-categorized as weapons and tools instead of just tools. That's two new melee weapons right there and the shovel has crazy reach.

oooo i like the sound of this. always thought the fireaxe was... absurdly weak for a bladed weapon.

tho question, would the shovel count as a blade or blunt? cos you can use it like a spear but also... the solid TWANK of a shovel never gets old :p

 
Can we assume that the fire axe and shovel will contribute to Strength skills like increased backpack space, or is that separate from Melee skills.

Is the Pickaxe going to contribute to Strength?

Now this I thoroughly agree with. I'd get all up on my high horse about femurs not being usable as a club but to be honest? I didn't even realise you could do that with them in the first place.
