Not sure what you mean here. Swords etc still give you a die shift in
close combat (though shotguns or flamethrowers are even better), and
close assaults are pretty damn important - that's the fastest way to
shift a dug-in enemy from a protected position (and quite often the only
way, as well!). You have to suppress the defenders first, though,
otherwise you'll lose your assault troops before they make contact.
'Course, in 40K you'd've lost them *after* the first round of close
combat if the enemy support troops aren't occupied by something else  -
the difference here isn't that big for line troops.

What 40K CC rules? If you think of heroic leaders who singlehandedly
slay
the entire opposing army (Mr. Calgar, a certain Ork surnamed Thraka, a
bio-engineered political Commisar just to name a few examples :-), or
close assaults that are fought out as a fencing duel over a couple of
game turns, no. The rules already cover specially-equipped close assault
units, though - including swords and similar weapons.
