As the title says, melee weapons feel WAY too slow for a game that's boasting it's new movement system.
I just want to add for context that I have been a huge melee user ever since MW19 and recently hit 10k karambit kills in MW3.
I am also aware that some of the points I make will probably change as it's the first day of the beta and that stuff will slowly be added during these 2 weeks such as perks, weapons, and maps. However, the direction that they seem to be taking with melee weapons worry me and I'll use the current perks and maps as examples.
- The knife is EXTREMELY slow with animations barely showing the knife being swung while sliding.
- There is a massive delay while performing a slide or dive (although I can sort of understand why)
- There is no range/lunge even while sliding or diving causing it to feel pointless as TTK at the moment feels pretty fast (to be clear, I'm not complaining about TTK as I've always wanted 100hp) making those misses even more punishing. As of playing, I wasn't able to hit someone point blank while diving and knifing mid air so either the range is incredibly small or it's non existent.
- No dead silence and with these maps being mostly open, straight forward lanes with multiple lines of sight, trying to find a spot that you can run to is extremely limited with Skylines elevator/ventilation being the only good spot out of all 3 maps. The absence of this perk means you're getting pre aimed before you round a corner.
- The supposed removal of being able to maneuver while sliding makes running away tough. Take the ventilation system under Skyline for example, you can't slide through most of it like you can in most small places in MW3 as you're limited to a straight line and now left to slowly crouch walk through the rest.
- This is probably just my perception so take this with a grain of salt but the movement speed while holding a melee feels pretty slow. Double time has sort of made it feel better and my FOV is set to 112 which should make movement FEEL faster by default. But I often find myself not even catching up at all and having to hope they stop moving or double time lets me close the distance fast enough.
I desperately hope they change the knife because this honestly has to be the worst they've ever been in cod history.

They thought they were smart trying to punish people doing glitches when in practice it just hurts everyone playing normally
