Practically speaking: pikes, spears, whatever.
Awesome speaking: katanas, akimbo katanas (incredibly unpractical)

A pistol. Because that way, I wouldn't need anyone to get close to me before I could kill them.
Hmmm... Something tells me you may hive missed the point of the 'favourite Melee wapon?' thread...

Unless you are Indianna Jones of course!! :p
BWAAA! My secret identity has been revealed!

But if I had to choose, a long, curved knife. Maybe one of the ulaks from Chronicles of Riddick. Those look disgustingly brutal.

That sir has made my night! I forgot about the Ulaks! They are what made me play through Butcher Bay and Dark Athena 3 times!! :p

A tie between this:

and this:


I love the first for it's grace and elegance, and the second for it's deceptive simplicity.

Gauntlet.
My housemate and I used to have gauntlet-only deathmatches, and never got over watching each other get fisted.

Giant. Arse. Sword.

As long as it's still wieldable (thank you chrome, I know that's not actually a word) then any loss of dexterity coming from size and weight is probably made up for by the fear induced by someone coming at you with a giant arse sword.

If given a choice I'd like to spilt skulls with a mighty axe. And throw axes. And chop down trees with axes. And chop up pork pies with axes. I mean come on, a English huscarl at Hastings cut through a Norman AND his horse with his axe. BADASS.

I'd prefer a staff as it's quick and can handle multiple combatants relatively easily. However from the options I'd choose an axe, a close second to a staff for me.

Well, your body is something you always have with you, so unarmed. However, given the opportunity and availability, other weapons can be useful, depending on the situation. But your body and mind are never far from you. Your sword or axe or chainsaw...firearm or whatever, may very well be.

Swords, I am a huge fan of them.
Fact why can't we carry them around like the good ol' medieval days? (For self defense only)
I would campaign tirelessly for that to happen. Dueling sabers would be best, I think. Failing that, everyone has a pistol on their hip, Western style.

Swords, or kukris, personally.

That came out wrong, didn't it? >_>

Spetsnaz shovel.

Looks innocent enough, doesn't it? Pretty much a modern-day battle-axe though. I've heard you can split a man's head clean in half with one of these though. Plus, it can be thrown! Plus, it's a shovel! Plus, you can fry eggs on it... I don't like eggs, but I imagine if I did, that'd be advantageous.

I'm gonna go with Axes on this one.
Why choose between a mace and a sword when I can have the best of both?

Swords probably edge out axes for me, but only just. They allow a level of elegance that just can't be given with an axe.

Then again, if you're already inelegant thanks to massive amounts of armor... might as well go axe. ^^

There's no "other" option so I'll just post my favourite, The Quarterstaff, partly because Donatello uses it in TMNT, and if I had to choose a second favourite, a great-sword.

Usually swords or daggers for me, since I like faster weapons. That and swords are just cool. However, if you were talking Runescape then it would have to be a halberd.
