    Oh, I totally forgot to post some classics of the Megaman Gameboy Advance era! Nice laser weapons that somewhat have more beautiful shapes than the classic lightsaber. Here:

    You can never go wrong with a helicoper on a stick.
    It's sharp, heavy, and fun to throw around, not to mention the utility of it.

    A true "Sci-Fi melee weapon" doesn't REALLY exist...unless it's like Sci-Fi History (whoa, that would be crazy!) If I had to pick one...I would want to have a laser dagger.... it's like an automatic knife, you push a button and it makes a short laser, and then when you kill someone with it, it looks like they never got stabbed, they just died. Perfect for assassinations.

    Yeah... and their wound was strangely cauterized... not suspicous at all...
    or the perfect cut of the wound... they won't notice that either,
    but it could defientely be handy for the actual assassination.

    stun gloves (electric) that shocks players or creatures when you punch them. this might make it over powered but te gloves could cause the enemy to be paralised temporarily
    i think these were in a bond movie

    im all out after that

    W40k inspired weapons are a good idea. a generic chainsword, works well in most situations. power swords, cut through almost any armour. thunder hammers, blow holes in a wall, make small craters, reduce an enemy to a fine red mist. force weapons, blast a demon back into it's own universe. power fists, punch someone into the lower atmosphere. energy/lightning claws, shred through armour and flesh alike, shock the others around you. and that's just for the infantry.

    black high frequency/vibro blade. Clean, simple and skinny looking to contrast all the flashy stuff. The plausibly post-modern look compared to far off futury i guess~
    kinda like those tactical swords they have now- oh wait, but thats not really scifi...ooopss...

    ZixXer, your font hurts to read:sparta: why you no reasonable font size:lod: why you no complimentary colour to bg :lod:

    I fixed your post. And no it doesn't get read more, most people skip over posts that are written in a color that causes retinal damage.

    I just realized... Do the giant mechs we get to ride in have melee weapons as well? - Sorry if I'm being dumb here...

    Devs haven't talked about what kind of weapons the mechs will have. But, they'll probably have melee weapons. Hope this helped.
