You cant go into combat until your 18 though.

**CryOfTheWulfen** · 04-18-2009, 11:09 AM

I think you can be in a warzone though, like in Bastion, but i could be wrong (you cant fulfill an active combat role)

Nothing like charging trenches on Ghost Train with bayonets. I feel like I'm in that last battle scene in Platoon.

Oh, and I was being sarcastic by the way. We like to make fun of joe :P

You can enlist into the Canadian Army Reserve Force when you are 16 with parental consent, in which I did, and I finish Basic Military Qualification (Basic Training) on the April 23.

I head straight into my Soldier's Qualification course the following day for another 2 months.

And, personnel aged 17 and older in the Canadian Forces may apply for Regular Force (contracted, full-time).

lol that video is sooo funny. made my day that did.

Great find. Ooo I have bayonet stories.

We are both empty - the enemy goes for another clip, I pull out my bayonet and lunge; he goes down. Doesn't happen often, maybe once a week for me, but when it does it is highly satisfying.

I recall an instance on Karbala as an insurgent... I had an empty RPG and had been spotted at close quarters after taking out this squad's weapons platform. I drew the enemy soldier around a building and waited at the corner; he came around right in my bayonet range and went down. I then proceeded to use his M16A4 to drop the remainder of his buddies, very satisfying indeed.

Isn't Karbala was US Army vs Insurgents?

did you mean Asad Khal, or Al Basrah (its a Brit insurgency one)

Oh come on, why you got to be such a hard ass about this stuff

?

I remember the .85 beta, when the AKM bayonet range was accidentally set to zero, so you basically had to sit on a guy to stab him. I followed this one marine through a field for about 15 secs, swiping at his back the whole time. Then I decided to shoot him.

Someone tried to stab me at the end of Seven Gates tonight...when he finally gave up and switched to his gun, I turned around and shot him.

**Ghost Dog** · 04-20-2009, 03:40 AM

Bayonet + ping > 120 = dead. Seriously, I can't count the times I died trying to stab someone who 's moving around. Even when the bayonet enters the body and smoke puffs come out on my screen... so frikin annoying.

I can only understand how you feel when the server acts up, but yes it is quite horrible. Jumping at someone with the knife/bayonet at the ready, swiping their face and seeing the smoke puff and getting shot because the server can't register it. It sucks badly.

ROFLMAO @ the british instructor

THE BAYONET! ITS DESIGNED TO KILL!

I then lectured him over mumble to use his gun next time

.

Like Ghostdog, I can't accurately bayonet/kinfe people with my ping. I only pull out the blade when I have to be stealthy.
