Melee is no longer overly powerful. This results in much more thought about when to make the attack, but also leaves you vunerable for someone else joining the attack.
I get many, many more melee kills in Reach. I love sprinting up and melee attacking. Especially with a sword.
Out of my last lone wolf match, 14 of my 25 kills were melee.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
