MELEE: Troops/Abilities

I am loving everything about Star Wars Battlefront 2 right now. Playing the game, so many ideas pop into my head!

A new type of reinforcement or abilities focused on melee combat would be a fun addition to the game. I would like to list out some of the ideas I have.

REINFORCEMENTS

Adding a new sub class melee would give a fun interesting dynamic to game play. I know we have all of the Jedi/Sith to play, but they can be very expensive. I like the idea the reinforcements aren't just power ups but they can solve certain objectives. The melee class for instance would be responsible for running behind enemy lines and infiltrating their defenses, just like the jet troop but with a more boots on the ground approach. Each melee class has different abilities and stats based on their faction, some strong and tanky, some quick and mobile. Here are my ideas.

*Separatists:

Manga Guard -

The manga guard would be a heavy tough melee class. High defense and health, able to charge head on to the enemy. It is equipped with its Electrostaff . It's abilities could include a small Grenade Launcher, ability to block(not deflect) enemy fire and a Recon Droid to scout and tag enemies. It would have wide area of attack, ideal for clearing out hallways.

*Galactic Republic:

Clone Assassin -

The Clone Assassin would be a very quickly and agile melee class. Low Health and high agility, the Clone Assassin can move around the map fast and sneak behind enemies with ease. He is equipped with his 2 wrist Viroblades. It's abilities can include a small Pistol, ability to turn Invisible, and a Scan Pulse to reveal nearby enemies. He will have a very quick attack and fast dodging skills, ideal for sneaking behind the enemy or stealing objectives.

*Rebels:

Honor Guard -

The Rebel Honor Guard would be a very fast and strong melee class. Normal health and High Defense, the Honor Guard can easily move around the map and defend objectives. He/she would equipped with it's Electropole. It's abilities can include, a Light Blaster, ability to increase defense of nearby teammates, and Binnoculars to tag enemies. It would have a very swift/light attack and wide radius. 

*Galactic Empire:

Imperial Guard -

The Imperial Guard would be a very swift and balanced melee class. High health and low defense, the Imperial Guard can wipe out a wide array of enemies at a time. It is equipped with its Force Pike. It's abilities can include, a Heavy Blaster, ability to overheat guns of nearby enemies for a short period of time, and a Homing Shot. It will have a very quick attack and wide radius.

*Resistance:

Royal Spy-

The Royal Soy would be a very fast and weak melee class. High speed and low defense, the Royal Spy is ideal for maneuvering behind enemy lines to capture objectives. He/she would be equipped a Stun Baton. It's abilities can include, a Disputer Grenade, the ability to turn invisible when still, and a Tactical Droid to stun and tag enemies. It will have a very quick attack and fast dodging skills.

*First Order:

Riot Trooper -

The Riot Trooper would be a very tough and heavy melee class. High Defense and normal health, the Riot Trooper is ideal for pushing head on into the enemy. He/she would be equipped the First Order Stun Baton and a Riot Shield. Its abilities can include, a Blaster Rifle, ability to ram enemies with shield, and an Orbital Strike. It would be a very quick attacker but slow at maneuvering, easy for handling crowds.

ABILITIES

If the reinforcements are too exaggerated, maybe just adding an ability to the Assault Class to use melee weapons. It would replace the vanguard ability and be used in a similar way. Speed increases and can only use it for a limited time. Basically activate the ability like you would the vanguard ability and whip out a Stun Baton and kick some *. It's quite simple really, best fit for the assault class due to the gameplay style, it would flow perfectly.

I would love to see more emphasis on melee weapons in the game, would be super fun and a very unique thing to do. Who doesn't want to be a Magna Guard or a Riot Trooper screaming "TRAITOR!!!" to Finn. That would indeed be my Star Wars fantasy.

Thank You for reading! May the force be with you...always. 

P.S. Add Assassinations like in the campaign, would be very fun to use online.
