Knife discussion

[Breo]

Just had some guy who was running with a knife only and was killing most of our team. Very, VERY boring to play against and I think if they are knifing from teh front the damage given should be no more than 10hp per hit.

Exactly, stabbing damage should be nerfed for attacks from the front at least.

My modest contribution to the knife discussion:

Like it is now it just can’t remain. It is ridiculously overpowered. And not only what tackles its damage, there are several things, mine in opinion having to be revised completely. :o

Which weapons do we have? Without Specials as a rule SMG, pistol and ofc the knife. The infight “ranking” should be the same SMG>Pistol>Knife. No more Ammo for the SMG > pistol, no Ammo for the pistol > knife. As the last resort virtually. With at least the possibility of catching a player in close combat and with him on Low hp. It should really be very, very hard to win an Infight with the knife, if the other one isn’t already almost dead.

As it is now, it’s pointless. Running into two Opponents, chop-chop: two Insta-Knifekills. Really ridiculous. Rather feels in close combat like Medieval Warfare. :rolleyes:

Make it like in ET as said by a couple of others already. It was just perfect in my opinion:

Attack from behind > Instagib.

Attack from the front or harming the side > very little damage, almost no chance against someone on his pistol, even if he is just doing bodyshots.

is knife range is the same for side knifing and direct knif (right mouse) ?
if yes i think side knifing should have more wide range
