I know, but that layout is just weird for me, and looks like I'm not alone in that department.You can change the controller to have O be melee instead of R3 in Options menu.
So you think it is too late, if I decide to knife at the last second?IMO when you go for a melee kill you should have lined yourself up long in advance - if you need to readjust your aim at the last moment you did it wrong.![]()
Even when you're not trying to knife someone? So you can't even knife the air?
On a few occasions I've hit melee and my knife didn't come out, but in all those cases it's because I ended up getting shot a split-second later....
Unless people smarten up and learn how to avoid/lessen the chance of getting knifed, "Gumps" (my knife class is called "Forrest") are here to stay.
That's the one.I think you're looking for "Underpass"
I hate that map, I always do hopelessly pathetic there. Sniping doesn't work, knifing doesn't work, AUG'ing doesn't work :/
I think thats all knife classes could ever be good for, a quick giggle, but in the same way quick scoping and no scoping quickly became a boring, common and uncreative method of 'pwning', knifing has very quickly become a common 'tactic' for players and it's just not interesting to me at all. It's nice when you knife a few guys when you're not trying solely to knife people though. When I see a guy marathon sprinting with a tactical knife I just can't help but think moron. By all means have the tactical knife, they're useful at times, but when people treat it like a primary I think it is one of the most, if not the, shallow ways to play which takes about as much finesse as driving into a brick wall. I mean you don't have to be a genious to get behind the enemy, run the ways where fighting isn't happening, simple and thats the hard part.
Getting behind the enemies spawn at the start and taking them out with a knife isn't moronic at all to me, nor shallow. Just because you like to go head on with them and exchange fire back and forth doesn't mean everyone has to use that tactic. My tactics are different on every map but lets take Favela for example. On it I will rush them as fast as I can to get behind their spawn to start either cutting from one to another or to put a few silenced P90 bullets into them. Rushing is no different from run n gun style, its the same thing. Whats so moronic about run n gun or a different play style than yours in general?
You just said you use your primary, properly, which is something some people just don't do. So what you describe isn't what I'm talking about. I mean people who exclusively try to use a tactical knife and nothing else. It sounds silly, but I've seen people who spawn, swap to pistol and then pretty much don't fire at all. It's fine when you use it once you're up close already, but I believe it should be swapped to as the distance is short, not run around with it constantly.
And on small maps like Scrapyard or Rust? I've done nothing but knife quite effectively on those maps, so clearly it isn't moronic if it works.
Drop the Holier Than Thou attitude.
For a kick off Rust never appears on the play lists I play. Scrapyard does but rarely, and knifing religiously doesn't help capture or defend any of the objectives when the enemy will spawn so close on a small map. The only possible reward to the team is a streak reward because you need to do more then just kill and get a good score to win in the modes I like to play.
Yes, I understand how objective based games work. Moving extremely fast on Domination games and killing those trying to capture points works quite well.
You simply called it moronic. You did not specify the game types (from what I read) nor the maps in your playlists. For how many words you type, you don't seem to convey yourself very well.
If everyone played how you seem to want them to, I have a feeling the game would be quite boring.

Well I did not say it was a good option to change to . . .![]()
Edit: Also, for you boys that do like knifing I have been thinking about clever ways to use the throwing knife. What I've come up with is the riot shield. I believe, although I can't confirm, that you can throw grenades, and thus throwing knives, with the shield out and infront of you. That means you can hide behind the safety of your shield, chuck the knife from behind it and get yourself an easy kill.
Dragonistic add me as a friend GTP_uk86ze.
