For some reason I don't think we're going to be using melee weapons much in Victory. Just look at the middle screenshot on the top row. Is it just me or is Sam fist fighting with that guy? It would make sense considering swords were used more for show rather than actual combat. I suppose this would fix the complaints about people wanting hidden blades as a primary weapon because he could use them for finishers.
