The melee combos weren't available to the people who played at E3, although it was written that different kinds of attacks were unique for the same weapon; no combos though

If you come up to somebody from behind and hold down shift + C you grab there arms, stick your foot in the small of their back, and break them in two. Oh wait, wrong game.

you can see melee combos in both e3 videos

MC kills a brute with a battle rifle in 2003

and you can see wort do a melee combo with the energy sword in 2004 when the guy circles around him

my guess is you hold down the melee button and move the joystick in different directions

come on people, Maki just said, combos werent in 2004...

The sword would naturally have combos, while other weapons, may not!

"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh did you see that? you saw him repress me?"

i think you should be able to perform the easily, by pressing B a certain number of times, at certain speeds i.e. B <then the weapon hits, as it hits press> B, B. that should be easy, but involves some skill.
