Does anyone know this. From the videos it seems like you get knocked around from melee attacks, but what about vice versa?
With the physics engine and what not, will the melee weapons be more realistic. I mean like hitting people with melee weapons won't just kill the with 1 or 2 hits like in most games. Instead it will knock them back, make them drop their weapons/not be able to use them nearly as effectively, and eventually make them fall to the ground so you can continue to beat them to death. So in practice a pistol or gun will realistically kill things faster than melee, but it won't be as fun.
If not I think some mods should implement this. Like DoD could have some cool situations where an enemy starts pummeling/stabbing you to death but your friend sees you just in time to kill him before he kills you.
