im kinda of a knife ninja. i mostly do it if someone walks by me, has there back turned, if they are trying to knife me, someone who doesnt notice me, when amubusihng people, sneaking up on people, or even just charging into their face and knifing them. I dont know why, but the knife is actually like a primary weapon for me.

lol jsut got jepzillas tags becuase of my charge while he was throwing a nade.

It's a common mistake to be too close to the person when knifing them. The knife killzone starts at about 1 foot away from you to 3 feet. You don't want to be so close you are touching the guy or too far away.

I see people doing this with the defibs as well. Lying right on top of the body. The defibs have a long range, though I think there minimum distance is less.

Having said that I teamkilled someone today who chose to ineffectively slash away at an enemy hiding at our flag. The flag was super hot. I aimed and the guy jumped on the enemy and started swinging away. I gave him about 2 swipes that he missed before trying to take the enemy out and ended up taking them both out.

That must be why I miss so much. I'm too close! I sneak up on snipers all the time and pretty much kneel on top of them and still don't get the kill. I end up getting killed or pulling out my pistol.

I only use knife when im out of pistol ammo or someone 'challenges' me to a knife fight.
Still, sometimes, that one sniper you finally found after it shot you so many times, can be really really waiting to be knifed by you.

Still, the ranges at which I see people run at me with a knife is indeed silly.

What used to be great back when the server had more smacktards and morons on it, was when badly wounded I'd whip out my knife and then the other guy did too, obviously thinking "Aha! I shall do my duty by discarding my assault rifle-o-death and fight this chum with knives and fisticuffs, the gentleman's way!" At which point I'd pop out my rifle and cap the guy in the head... good times, good times. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore.

The knife is actually a tremendously effective close quarter weapon when used correctly. If I'm fighting someone and they duck for cover inside a small nook, or behind a pillar, or anywhere which doesn't afford them much room, I pull out my knife, approach the corner and round it crouched. One quick knife slash and they're down, and I can save my precious grenade and rocket ammo for another time.

Its amazing how bad some peoples aims are when your charging straight at them. Pretty funny.

The problem isn't aim, it's how ridiculously weak all the weapons are. Try knife-charging someone in BF2's PRMM or PoE mods and see how well that works out.

hope_is_lost

the knife is seriously underrated.
I love the rush of knifing someone when they miss all their ammo, they deserve to die :P.Although I won't steal kills from someone with ar.I am happy to take over a knife fight if my tm died

45 hours, 2 knife kills so far.... *pats LMG* i prefer giving them a face-full of lead to be honest

Slicklizard

I've got like 10 knife kills or something like that, all of them CO. I usually then proceed to squat thier face. If a commander isn't keeping his eye open for people in his own base, he deserves to die.

HybridNinja

i got like 300 kills and, 250 uniques.

Last night, someone was able to leap at me from 3 meters out, go prone, and kill me by knifing my ankles. That just made me depressed.

The knife leapers really tick me off, mostly because I've never been able to do it. But since I get the Clark as my usual first field upgrade now I have a lot less problem with it.

If you guys really want to learn how to knife like a pro, join a knifing server. They are lots of fun when everyone plays by the rules and you learn the limitations of the knife while also increasing your ability to be aware of your surroundings.

I was looking for a knife server the other night (no TG player were on the TG server) I only found one and they said it was going to be shut down due to lack of funding. It was the only one I found. Eh, guess i'm not getting my collecters badge
