after using it awhile i totally agree.

since there is no armor ignore its is insignificant, and because of tht u now have to run ovr to the enemy tht u just propelled a few meters, probly into another mob of enemies in order to execute them and then end up making a complete fool of urself since it wont let u [apparently ragdolling is different from knocking them down but tht shouldnt even matter because the description says knockdown :) ] anyway you finish the mission with the highest score in deaths and think to yourself "this is an easy fix ill just start hitting multiple enemies:D" WRONG! once the thing hits one efing obsticle it unrealistically bounces off to god knows where until u realize tht it magically appeared in the strangest-place-for-a-melee-weapon-to-go (your wrist)  so all this has wasted like 8 seconds........... this is dragging on so ill just bullet point all the disadvantages the wiki missed:

-rarely anything but single target (due retarded bounces)

-insufficient damage

-ragdolling:      1. doesnt allow u to ground execute (must use basic melee or gun to kill)                              2. make distanced fighting pointless because u would have to get in range of other enemies to finish them off which is even more problematic because of #1

-terrible accuracy (tht story involves one osprey and 20 horribly frustrating seconds)

-acts like a glaive yet 3 times as buggy (or as bad)

i understand tht new weapons are inherently buggy but id go as far to ask if it was even tested prior to release. also i love new weapons and such as much as the next guy but if it just causes problems tht need fixing then whats the point? it just wastes time tht developers could instead spend a new environment perhaps?(been playing a week and a half and already ive "seen it all")

anyway SO sry for the ridiculously long post (im sure no one will read it) but i HAD to get tht all out XD

yes im mad, yes ive taken an english class
