I was so disappointed when they decided to add all those barriers in the final Halo 2 DLC and every game since.

Just because it's based on skill does not mean it was intended to be left in the game.

Halo 2! Sniper-Swording, while more difficult to pull off, will send you flying much, much further. I remember using it to get outside of Headlong... There was so much to explore outside of that map. It was really weird.

[–]Necromas 3 points4 points ago

Used to play on midship with 16 player FFA and the rules were you had to immediately stop moving as soon a you saw another player, and could only kill them by rocket-swording.

And then when we got too good at rocket-swording we switched to sniper-swording.

I don't even see the point of perks other than Ninja, except that you have to use something in that slot before unlocking Ninja.

Melee is best in Red Orchestra, IMO. It doesn't always instant kill but it can, I believe it's more effective if you're sprinting (rifle bashing is less effective than bayonets) I remember one time I went to go stab a guy and I hit him in the hand, which made him drop his gun, so he shot at me with his pistol, knocking my rifle out of my hands, so we had a pistol duel and missed every shot. And then he pistol whipped me to death. It was fantastic.

Knifing in CoD is the thing that pushed me over the edge and made it so I will never play another CoD game again; at least until they quit making the same game every year.

There is nothing in any FPS I've played as frustrating as some dude taking shotgun rounds to the dick and then somehow dashing 10 feet toward you and killing you with a slight nick of their blade. Not even the shitty spawns CoD has pisses me off this much.

-EDIT-

Since there's been quite a bit of feedback on this comment I figured I'd post some video of the bullshit knifing that I'm talking about. These aren't me playing, I just looked randomly on youtube-

I do like how Battlefield 3 does it, where it

A. Takes a while.

B. Doesn't reset quickly.

C. Only really effective from behind.

While it does have some tactical advantage in the sense that it's a silent killer, it also really only seves as a humiliation tool and pushes you to use the goddamn gun that the taxpayers spent so much money on.

EDIT: Spelling

[–]Boycubpiglet 20 points21 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I prefer BF3 knifing by far, but I wish it was more reliable. I've had too many times where it just won't 'activate' the kill animation for no reason and the guy turns around and shoots me.

Better than BC2 though when sometimes it wouldn't register my knife being physically in someone's face.

[–]Catalyst6 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Unfortunately I have the same problem sometimes, which makes the delay between knife attacks even worse when you're sitting there hammering on the knife button going "C'mon c'mon C'MON KNIFE"

Then again I have the same irritating non-register with the shock paddles so maybe it's just a problem registering people lying down.

[–]shakewell 46 points47 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Counter Strike knifing suffered from the fact that the damage is done when you click, and not when the knife actually makes contact. That disconnect in what happens on screen and what happens in the code made it less satisfying.

That said, pulling off good knife kills was still pretty awesome. That and running behind someone in a pub for an extended amount of time with your knife out without them checking their six is both hilarious and nervewracking.

CS knifing was perfect. It took two hits to kill with the knife if they were at full health. If someone was sneaking up behind and pulled out your knife you would be able to hear it if you were paying attention. This is was made knifing in CS a great diss move. If you got knifed in CS then it was like everyone was in their right to make fun of you.

[–]SyntaxTheFourth 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, if they wanted to kill you properly, a gunshot from behind would be infinitely easier and less risky. Knives were for humiliation and breaking props, not instakilling in close combat.

I was in a CS:S clan, back in the day. Unless it was a clan match, I'd always go for a riskier knife kill over a safe gun kill. On our public clan server, I had more knife kills than the guy called "Kiva the Knife". Throw flash and smoke as a diversion, then quickly get behind them and murk 'em. Or pick an easily defensible point (like the house) on a hostage defend, help kill most of the team, then run to the enemy spawn and work my way back to finish 'em off with the knife in the back. I was one deadly muddy funster. Good times.

My Live username is based on knifing in Counter-Strike. It was my go to play style for messing around. And no hiding and knifing just charging people with knife drawn. Maybe throw a flashbang to annoy them, and if they pulled a knife too I'd throw a smoke grenade to mark the battlefield.

It does 33% damage to the front. I've successfully used it a few times in a standoff situation at close range where I know I tagged him with 5-6 rounds, the knife animation is faster than switching to pistol. IF you DON'T kill him.....it's almost like a vengeful FFFUUUUU as he guns you down.

[–]newborn 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's also well implemented in the fact that it can kill from the front as long as you've done enough damage to them in the first place. So usually its when I've emptied my primary and secondary weapons (and they're stilll alive due to my atrocious aim) and am so desperate I try to get a quick stab in before they kill me. So really, its a desperation move that feels authentic when I think about it.

I stopped playing after cod4, but knifing was always a pubstomping gimmick tactic. Good use of an mp5/ak47/shotty will bring down a knife user faster than they can connect.

[–]doucheyhipster 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It works far better on consoles where aiming is much slower. I would regularly go over 2:1 KD on MW2 with speed perks and only knifing.

[–]RedAlert2 2 points3 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

yeah, I'd imagine so. I played exclusively on PC where knifing a decent player is really hard, but if they can't physically turn fast enough to hit you, knifing would be a bit more feasible.

When I think of the P90 juggernaut knife everyone players in CoD4, I get flashbacks to people lunging at me to point blank range and getting OHKO'd by my shotgun, toppling over with knife in hand.

[–]semi- 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I primarily played on PC but rented CoD4 for a while.. Its definitely a different game.

On console nobody was pre-aiming at where you were coming from, barely anyone used audio properly(probably due to playing on a tv and not having headphones) so you could run behind someone and they wouldn't know it, and then when they did know it it took them about 5 times as long to turn around and actually aim at you.

So..yeah. I just ran around knifing people.

[–]KuroiDegu 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think people really underestimate how amazing knifing is in cod4. I've gone months only knifing in that game because the playstyle is so different. That and a good player knifing instills fear in everyone.

And scared people can't aim as well. >:3

That and knifing players who think they are above being knifed is the most satisfying feeling ever.

I'll see if I still have any recordings to upload if anyone wants? :o

[–]RedAlert2 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'll admit I've done my fair share of knife sprees, and it can do really well in certain pubs, but it gets shut down hard if the other team has a couple decent players with a standard mp5 loadout. If they even go so far as to work as a team, knife builds are essentially totally useless. As long as you stick to TDM servers, you don't see much of the latter, though.

Or you could just play hardcore mode, where nobody uses a knife, and any gun is viable.

[–]Kenny_Bania_ 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, to be fair, MW2 was the only CoD that had a really bad problem with knifing.

In Black Ops, the knife range was shorter than in MW2 without all of that lunge (not even close to commando range). Also, when knifing, you have to use default controls, which mean's knife is pushing the right thumb stick in (called R3 on PS3), and stance change on the O or B button. However, "tactical" controls allows stance change to be on that stick, allowing you to "drop shot" which is just when you drop prone while shooting making you a smaller target in gun fights. This is a hell of a lot more effective in Black Ops than actually using the knife.

In MW3, there is more knifing because drop shooting is useless due to kills being nearly instantaneous instead of having actual gun fights. However, there is no more commando and the range isn't so bad to where it's frustrating.

Also, Black Ops and MW3 have been pretty different than most other CoDs. I liked MW2, loved Black Ops, HATE MW3. They look the same, are all called CoD, but the game plays so different in all three games. And of course, Black Ops was made by a different publisher than MW2 and MW3, and Treyarch and Infinity Ward are seemingly drifting farther and farther apart which each release.

This is why I became the knifing arsehole. Running around with a tactical knife, sprint and commando on is probably the most fun I got out of MW2.

Was more amazing when the care package marker made you run superfast.

Lightweight + commando + marathon all pro with that glitch was insane. The only glitch that could keep up was dual 1887s.

running at nearly 20mph good times man good times, only did this as hazing and proof of concept to and with friends, shortly after it became everyones favorite thing to do :/

Javelin suicide bombs annoyed me more anyways.

Also infinite killstreaks or care packs.

Wow. MW2 was fucking glitchy compared to COD4, WAW, BLOPS or MW3.

Javelin suicide bombing with a group of friends was literally the most fun I've ever had with a CoD game.

[–]Durzo_Blint 1 point2 points ago

Not for me. I played Domination a lot and this was the bane of my exist for over a month and a half while they decided not to patch things. After that there was the infinite carepackage glitch for another month.

The most fun I ever had was riot shield search and destroy. The other team was pissed when we won.

I would often run with the Tac Knife, but I would never stoop low enough to ever consider using Commando. Only time I used it was the levels prior to Ninja, but I rarely went around knifing with it in those cases.

Commando was probably the worst part of MW2...and noob tubes, but every fps ever seems to love those pieces of fucking garbage so I just have to deal with them.

[–]I_am_salad 6 points7 points ago

Noob tubes are done better in Battlefield. Sure, plenty of room for spam but they're balanced against map size / ranged weapons / vehicles.

They still piss me off immensely. But, on smaller maps, I'm willing to concede that frag rounds are a billion times worse.

How about Halo: Reach? Ridiculously under powered, for what it is, but has multiple modes for different situations.

Ridiculously under powered but extremely satisfying and fun to get right. Much more satisfying than any other grenade launchers.

You're problem is that you're going into a video game thinking that it's going to be realistic, instead of a video game.

What you should do instead is learn the rules of the game and then play by them, rather than try to play by the rules of reality then complain when other people don't.

Don't think of knives, or shot guns, or people.

Think of it as a weapon, like any other, which has a certain range, certain damage, and certain speed.

That's what I love about BF3's knifing system, it requires skill to knife someone since you become venerable for a few seconds when knifing.

[–]Lovvi 0 points1 point ago

It doesn't take skill not to get shot while knifing

[–]mastershake04 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think he's just saying that you can't just run around knifing all willy-nilly like in CoD. You have to have some skill to get the jump on a person and when determining when to knife or not. You have to be more aware of your surroundings and what the enemy is doing.

There's nothing better in MW2 than jumping out of one of those water towers, falling 120+ feet, landing behind someone and knifing them instantly.

You're right. They took out commando for Black Ops and MW3 so no more jumping knife attacks.
Plus this gif was a glitch in the game anyway.

And here you are getting downvoted for ruining people's circlejerk of CoD hatebashing.

In all honesty though, if that were to somehow happen in real life, I'm pretty sure it would kill the person being attacked. Pretty effective.

MW3's knifing isn't as good as MW2. The maps and weapon balance simply aren't good for it. There's far less little rooms to run in and out of. I think out of something like 30,000 kills I have under 50 knife kills.

In MW I would do the Achilles attack, where I run past the player as I am jumping turn back around as I am in the air and stab him in the upper back.

They fixed this in MW3, and knifing distances are much nicer. It still suffers from some ridiculous bullshit, but that's mostly due to P2P hosting.

I like how it's done in BF3. Instant kills from behind, 50% damage or so from the front. The instant knife is sorta slow, but you have an equipable knife which is must faster.
