Even though plenty of Call of Duty fans have flocked to Black Ops Cold War\u2019s multiplayer modes, plenty of others are still dropping into Verdansk and trying to pick up wins in Warzone before their move to Cold War happens. While there is a lull in new Warzone content, given that Season 1 in Cold War won\u2019t start until December 16, players are still running into issues \u2013 be it with unusual bugs, perceived balancing problems, and hackers. Plenty of the nagging glitches and weapon balancing issues should be ironed out once Warzone switches over to Cold War, though, some players are hoping that melee strikes also get a bit of a nerf as they\u2019ve become incredibly powerful. Reddit user MichielbutsayMichael showcased a clip from one of their recent trips into Verdansk where, during the early part of the game, it seemed like they were destined to pick up a pretty easy kill. The Redditor chased an enemy, who only had a pistol, into a house with a KILO in-hand, ready to blast them away when they had a shot lined up. Though, when they finally did start spraying into their opponent, the tables were immediately flipped. With two pistol whips, MichielbutsayMichael was left heading to the Gulag even though they\u2019d managed to put nearly a full magazine into their enemy\u2019s chest. What made it even more annoying was that, upon watching the replay, it was clear that the enemy was barely still standing. Plenty of players chimed in, voicing their own frustrations about the powerful melee strikes. \u201cNot to mention Khali sticks randomly one hitting even though [you] have full armor and health. Melee is stupid,\u201d said HungLikeALemur. \u201cThe lunge is ridiculous in this game, it\u2019s like a f**king Halo energy sword lunge at this point,\u201d added Eviscerate-You. Another player, core433, suggested that the devs could, in a coming patch, make a change where for every bullet you are hit with, your melee power goes down. So, you\u2019d still be strong in early game fights, but suffer if you tried after a few ticks of damage. Ultimately, a change like that is something for the devs to consider, and they\u2019ll have plenty of buffs and nerfs in-store for Season 1. For now, though, players will just have to do their best to avoid taking melee strikes in-game because it\u2019s like being hit by a prime Mike Tyson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone players demand melee nerf as punches are stronger than guns ActivisionSome Call of Duty Warzone players are desperate for the developers to make to the power of melee strikes after some interesting clips have surfaced.
