Knife

[QUOTE=H0RSE;254141]You can only have a knife if you choose a pistol as your secondary weapon and you can only use it if your pistol is equipped. As far as I know, there is not a dedicated button to using the knife.

Also, the knife is not a OHK knife, like in other games.[/QUOTE]

you sure about that and it isn’t like in Wolf:ET where you got OHK if you made the stab directly behind the enemy? i’d be very sad if this isn’t in the game, that feature was a lot of fun (also needs goat sound imo) :smiley:

i doubt sd took fun out of the game. does anyone know more about it?

Seeing how Brink has abilities that players can unlock, a backstab would most likely be an unlockable ability, possibly only reserved for the Operative.

ah, ok, so you don’t know for sure either. i certainly hope they don’t try to compulsively create achievement unlocks and instead leave the insta-kill backstab to everyone, given the player is right behind the enemy.

But in the CG trailer he stabs the guy from the front and he dies instantly :trollface:

That’s just what happens when you get facestabbed in games like tf2. :cool:

I like a good facestab. I also hope this is in brink, although it certainly isnt a deal breaker

(Icemonkeyjr) #7

I also like a good facestab, :stuck_out_tongue: Hehe

Facestab has to be in, or the game sux, eod! :PpPPpppP

I never understood how the knife became a more powerful weapon at close range than 2-3 shots from a automatic weapon in games. Ie knife =125 damage, “bullet” =20-35 damage.

It`s all in the movies, ninjas with their swords always kill gun toting guys.

(DarkangelUK) #11

Guns for show, knives for a pro…

(Joe999) #12

facestab is for the noobs. if you can sneak up undisguised to an enemy, then you should be rewarded with a OHK backstab

(Wraith) #13

I concur.

So can anyone from SD be spare to comment on the backstab question?

(Jess Alon) #14

I agree. That’s a big question on the official forums too. Will there be a backstab ability that is operative only or will it be something anyone can do? And will it be a skill you have to buy?

(Ramziez) #15

Well if I remember correctly there is only one way to have a knife and that’s having a pistol. So a backstab ability would be kinda worthless if you were forced to use a pistol in order to OHK someone with it.

(DarkangelUK) #16

If grenades are off hand, I see no reason why a knife can’t be as well.

(SockDog) #17

I think knife OHKs should only be achieveable from directly above or below via SMART climbing/jumping or sliding. Knives of course should be retractable blade in the heel of your boots and not a hand held weapon.

However if knives are hand held I’d like to see that have the capability to deflect bullets. It’d be gimmicky but a fun gimmick (and I always liked the gun drop mods in CoD:UO. So many WTF moments)

Wouldnt mind the gameplay mechanics of the charged blaster in etqw, with the knife.
OHK if it connects with the head.

They would seem a bit small to be effective shields.
