Talk:List of melee weapons

From TF2 Wiki

Speeds

Is this table right? I'm sure the Fire axe is slower than any other melee weapon.. --Aurora 16:43, 31 January 2008 (CST)

I don't think the table is correct, the harder hitting weapons are slower, or at least I seem to remember them being that way, but I haven't played pyro or engi in a while. --WanderingFox (Talk • Contribs) 17:59, 31 January 2008 (CST)

Thought so, I'm removing the Speed column until some testing is done. --Aurora 02:10, 5 February 2008 (CST)

All melee weapons except the bat have the same attack speed. For that reason, I think the bat should have its attack rate (relative to normal melee attack rate) listed in parentheses in the damage column. G-Mang 03:12, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

On second thought, considering that there are a few melee weapons with slowed speed and/or abnormal effects, it probably wouldn't hurt to just have a "Notes" or "Details" column. Would anyone be against me adding that? G-Mang 03:15, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Icons

Anybody wants me to add the weapons icons here ? --The_Scorpion 08:33, 4 February 2008 (CST)

it would make it look better id say go ahead--mark"d"davis 08:56, 4 February 2008 (CST)

What do you think :D ?? --The_Scorpion 10:26, 4 February 2008 (CST)

Tis a thing of beauty nice work :D --mark"d"davis 10:15, 11 February 2008 (CST)

Out of interest, where in the gcf can the icons be found? I've searched the whole damn thing and can't find them anywhere!--Wilsonator 04:43, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Thx :-)  ! Would it be better if i do the same thing with Primary & Secondary weapons ? BTW why are those ( Primary weapon& Secondary weapon ) not in a table like this one ? --The_Scorpion 10:43, 11 February 2008 (CST)

Id say yes it makes more sense is easier to read has all the right information in it and preserves all the current links at present its just a list this makes it a bit more usefull--mark"d"davis 07:59, 13 February 2008 (CST)

I posted a reply to this which seems to have disapeared :% Oh well I guess I'll type it again.. The reason that Primary and Secondary weapons are different is because they are Categories, this article is a List. Note that there is also a Category:Melee weapons, however there is no "List of Primary Weapons" or "List of Secondary Weapons" as they just haven't been written yet. You can read more about Lists on Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Lists, they are different to normal articles as they should purely be a List linking to other articles (although we use tables more than Wikipedia do). A Category isn't technically a created page, they are created by the system when an article is categorized so don't try and make a category in to a List because it will always show the articles in a list format below any text input on the page. Read more on categories in the Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Categorization_FAQ article. By all means create a List page if you want but stick to the naming conventions and categorize it with a [[Category:Lists]] at the end of the list. --Aurora 10:15, 13 February 2008 (CST)

Taunts

Is a taunt a melee weapon? I'm pretty sure showdown is ranged, and if showdown is here, why isn't the hadouken? --Defx 11:03, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

It may be ranged but the taunt is placed according to what slot it's weapon is attached to, because you can only perform showdown with fists, a melee slot weapon, equipped. The same with the Pyro's hadouken. It can only be performed with the shotgun/flare gun, a secondary slot weapon, so it goes in the secondary slot weapon list.--Wilsonator 11:38, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

makes sense --Defx 13:33, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
