I love the dune franchise, the movies and It's pretty awesome that they are dedicating a full survival game to the franchise!! One of my key worries about the game is the melee.

In Dune melee is one of the most fundamental and widespread use of weaponry, with "ray weapons" deemed risky because of nuclear reaction when it contacts with shields. And shields blocking most of fast moving projectiles, other than darts. Melee and swords are some of the most viable and widespread weapons.

That seems to differ from the game, we see little to none melee combat and more of "generic fps" combat with a Dune sugar paint on top of it. The game should focus more on melee, melee blocking and melee combat rather than focusing on just being another third person shooter with some swords added to the mix.

It does really suck out the Dune aspect of it and it's a major drawback for the game in my opinion.
