Back2Fronts is an extensive mod that will overhaul your Call of Duty 2 game to a next level. This mod brings more variety, intensity, realism and battle-like experience. Try new weapons, fight new enemies, fulfil new missions and explore new options. Mod is SP and MP friendly (although primary part is SP).
Melee weapons continue with knives. There will be one for each major fraction (American, British, Russian, German). Knives will be available with scoped weapons as a melee attack.

Will this override gun melee?
Yes but only for scoped weapons.
Why only scoped weapons?
Wouldn't also make sense if it was with pistols too?
Because non-scoped bolt-action rifles will have bayonet. All other weapons will have the normal buttstock bash. Some weapons which are too heavy won't have any melee attack (for example rocket launchers or some MGs).
