Well lazy, actually they have done that.... It's some XBox game... like an entry in the Unreal series. They went and added close range fighting to it. Also Halo 2 has a kickarse weapon that DEFINES close range combat in the form of a laser sword. It's amazing how much arse you can kick with that no matter what the enemy has if you can just get in a closed space to take people on. Well, the trick there is they made it so that when you are within 3 meters of the enemy, if you are targetting them, you can click and you will instantly close the distance in a second and kill them. Dashing around the room that way makes it very hard to target you.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
