You must first UNDERSTAND and HONOR the melee attack before you may say anything towards it's further tweaking. If we were ever able to wield the coveted Plasma Sword, it's customary one-hit-kill should be maintained, even in multiplayer. If you're screaming around, big azure tapered beam swingin by your wrist, blood pumping, pulses pounding, nerves hardened to starship-hull-thickness, you don't want to have to toast some rocket butt-wipe with two, even THREE hits!!! One silent, satisfying thrust of the Energy Saber should be all it takes to slaughter your foe.
Come on, fellas. Throwing yourself at an enemy wielding the Battle Rifle should require no more than one slice-n-dice. It'd be USELESS if you were required to hit the enemy more than once.
Don't even get me started about it's utilization in Single-Player.
