&$§&"%! Knifes!!!

**rainy** · 10th February 2006

I know that some of you guys like knife fights, and some are even good at it - but I sometimes wish EA would lose the damn knife, or at least get rid of the knife badge. Because im my opinion the whole knifing thing is getting ridiculous.

If you manage to sneak up on an unsuspecting guy and knife him from behind - kudos, that's skill. I managed to do that once, and I felt a strange satisfaction afterwards

. But all these idiots running around wiggling their knives - I'd love to shoot them over and over and over and over... you get the idea. It's not only the lamest thing one can do - run towards me in the open, wiggle his knife and slash slash slash slash - it's also quite humiliating for me if he actually manages to kill me.

If I see one like this, the gun is out immediately, and I do everything to shoot him.

But there are stranger things happening. When we were playing on Sharqui the other night, I was in the TV station, and a guy runs past me up the stairs - next moment I am dead: knifed. How the fuck?? A few seconds later one of you guys said that someone virtually knifed you from the other floor...

End of story: I hate knives, and I will keep doing everything to spoil a knifers day (well, there are enough people out there who go out of their way to spoil a sniper's day, and last night I had them all against me

).

what i dislike about this knife thingie is the whole dolphin dive they do to get to your feet and knife you then and there... but like you say, i would agree to have knifes removed and replaced by a rifle butt option like in CoD2.

Yeah, rifle butt sounds good. Plus that allows everyone to use it properly. The fucking sniper pistol is so sucky, you need like two clips to put someone down...

imagine a rifle butt badge...

Hey, why not go retro and introduce a rapier or bayonette, you could have a proper sword fight.

Better yet, go Sci-fi and bring back the chainsaw - it's more likely to kill with one shot than a butter knife . . .

After my failed attempt to kill and hump rainy last night ... [no thanks to saint

]

I have made a note in my little black book that Rainy really likes to be stabbed ... expecially while he's standing on the floor below me ... shooting at people that are miles away from him.

Isn't that a little bit ... erm ... self contradictory ?

You're moaning about peeps that can only kill you in close combat, where you're the peep nailing other peeps miles away from you.

I recon if they made the knife only able to kill you 94% - like a snipers shot - then we could all stop moaning ?

ooohh.. i sense so much love and affection here... heheheh

I see that coming with Quake wars!

Anyone ever play "Rune"? - Viking FPS "First person Slasher". No guns, just various hacking weapons. It was great, I'm sorry I've never played anything like it again. Well except Jedi Knight.
