When players call for nerfs or buffs inCall of Duty: Warzone, the changes are almost always in relation to a gun or piece of equipment. However, the latest cry for change inCall of Duty: Warzonehas to do with melee, as one clip has riled fans up regarding its power.
This is hardly the only time discussion has startedregarding melee inCall of Duty: Warzone, as players were pointing out that weapon melee was overpowered back in June. No changes were made, though, and the anger of players simmered down despite many wishing something would be done. However, a new clip was recently posted to the CODWarzone subreddit, and it has caused players to demand a change once again.

This is the first example ofoverpowered melee inCall of Duty: Warzonesince the start of November, and it is certainly a sight to behold. The clip, posted by MichielbutsayMichael, requests that the developers ofWarzone“look at this video” and ask, “is the melee part balanced?” The clip in question sees the player chasing an opponent around one of Verdansk’s buildings, with his foe running inside to take cover after being shot several times. MichielbutsayMichael chases their opponent down, and it certainly looks like they have the advantage.
However, upon turning the corner and shooting the opposing player even more, MichielbutsayMichael somehow loses the fight. Despite filling the enemy player with bullets, the Redditor is taken down via melee attacks. However, despite MichielbutsayMichael being armored up and carefully backing away from his opponent, he is somehow dropped with only two melee attacks. While Infinity Ward has some major issues to deal with,like unstoppable Juggernaut bugs, players have pushed for the developers to add melee changes to the list of priorities.
The comments are filled with players who have grown tired of the two-hit pistol whips, with devientme joking that “pistols > bullets” and professerson saying that bullets should stop the melee attack activation. Other reddit users like B_NASTE_sometimes calls this “the most infuriating thing,” pointing out that melee weapons can one hit kill players at full armor. Though this reddit post holds an incredibly small portion of the85 million activeCall of Duty: Warzoneplayers, this issue has come up many times before and seems worthy of a look from the developers.
WithCall of Duty: Warzone’s integrationwithCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warbeing delayed, the developers have the chance to rework melee ahead of the crossover. However, given that the cries for melee changes have been ignored in the past, frustrated players should continue to make their voices heard on the issue.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S.
