Over the last few years of Warzone, plenty of Call of Duty fans have been left furious by the power of melee weapons. Not only has the Riot Shield been a constant nuisance, but Modern Warfare 2019\u2019s Kali Sticks were a better option at times than actually using the starting pistol. While Riot Shields remained a bit of a headache in Modern Warfare 3, they weren\u2019t as dominant as they once were. However, a new problem reared its head in the form of the Tonfa. The melee weapon, which was introduced in Modern Warfare 2, delivers hammer blows up close, and does so in a rapid fashion too. It had been creeping in as a bigger annoyance over the last few weeks, and was ultimately nerfed in the May 15 update. That update increased the number of strikes you\u2019d need to hit an enemy with using the Tonfa to eliminate them from three to four. However, some players have argued that it\u2019s done \u201cnothing\u201d to change the melee weapon\u2019s power. \u201cDon\u2019t forget that fucking sniper hit point blank in the head doesn\u2019t kill you but some stick will break you faster and more efficient,\u201d one player said. \u201cSo, playing on MNK, you now need to hit 93% or more of your shots to win against them as opposed to 99%. Good to know. Sounds pretty lame,\u201d another added. Some players urged the devs to nerf all melee weapons \u201cinto oblivion\u201d before readjusting them in further updates. \u201cIf there is ANYTHING in this game that feels broken, OP, annoying, doesn\u2019t feel right, it\u2019s dealing with melee,\u201d they added. It remains to be seen if the devs will change something, but it\u2019s clear that something needs to change. We already know that KAR98 is making a comeback in Season 4, so who knows, we could be in for a bigger overhaul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone players furious as Tonfa nerf changed \u201cnothing\u201d ActivisionWarzone players have been left furious as the Tonfa nerf, which was supposed to bring the melee weapon back down to earth, has basically done \u201cnothing\u201d to change things.
