Ive said this many times in the PSU Irc channel but,
Why does the NC knife have to be so lame? It doesent do anything cool like TR's or VS's
TR = Chainsaw knife, How cool is that. I can trim my bushes AND kill people with it :brow:
VS = Glowing knife, It may be vanu but atleast it does something, I can Illuminate dark areas AND kill people with it.
NC = Makes more noise than any other knife does knife, Hoo yeah I can make noise and give away my position before I can kill anyone with it AND well you cant kill people cause it makes more noise than the other knifes.

I say make NC have a shotgun knife, cause they seem to have a shotgun fetish and all.Triple Barreled shotgun, Shotgun MAX, shotgun pistol. Why not a shotgun knife? You could like whip it out and it would turn into a jackhamme with no ammo and you could like hold it to peoples heads and make them scared, doing like 40 dmg to them cause they piss their pants and get embarassment points :brow:

I would say it is the best knife. TRs knife noise is VERY noticeable, same with the VS, plus theirs even glows. NC knife can be mistaken for background noise by someone not paying much attention.

The NC knife is by far the least noticeable. The TR knife is way more noisy than the humming NC knife, and the Vanu knife makes you glow. Seriously, you have nothing to complain about. Go try the TR knife and then decide which knife is noisiest.

never really understood what the nc's knife's secondary attacks suposed to be. the tr's a chainsaw, the vs is a light saber type thing, what nc's?

so its a deadly vibrator and no nc girl leaves the baracks without one right?

well, it's a little bit stronger. if you were to hold it against a piece of metal, it would theoretically be moving fast enough to cut clean through in a second or two.

Warborn, I was complaining about thw NC's crappy vibrator knife, Infact I dont even play NC. I was just pointing out it should do something more, visible. Like noticable shaking instead of it looking the exact same.

My question is: Why bother to give knives 2 modes, when the second is stronger?

Is there some kind of catastrophic drawback to the more powerful mode that you would EVER use the first?

The President

Solid question. If you notice though in other games (i.e Counter-strike) there are 2 modes. One of which is quicker and causes less damage. Second more powerful but not necessarily as quick. Just the way i rationalized it to myself.

Anyone know if all knifes do the same dmg?
If so WHY THE FUCK DOES THE VANU KNIFE GLOW, HENCE GIVING AWAY YOUR POSITION AS AN INFIL.

The President

Yeah R3D I think that is completely idiotic, yeah it looks cool having a glowing knife to stab your enemy with buyt where is the tactical advantage? I have heard and I would agree that the NC knife is the best for infil kills, the noise isnt overwhelming and it does not glow.. Say I was sitting there sniping and this glowing knife came running at me, thats not something I would ignore, I would shoot at the glowing knife. On the other end of the spectrum say I was sniping and did not have darklight, an NC infiltrator could very easily slide up behind me and go to work on me before I knew what was happening.
To conclude, Yeah the Vanu blade's glowing ability is cool but useless if it does not get cloaked.

It actually glows visibly while someone is cloaked? If so, that should really be changed =/

It does... some Vanu infiltrator snuck up on me and tried to knife me and when I turned and looked, I saw the knife floating in the air so I shot the crap out of him. Another dead Vanu. :D

You'd think they'd change that. Makes the knife pretty useless since I can't really see many people in anything other then infil using it much.

Vanu has such a dumb knife, I wish I could steal them :brow:

Whenever i light up my Vanu knife a voice appears in my head saying "Use the force Luke....trust your feelings".

2003-04-21, 11:26 AM
After you heard the voices, did you stab a NC?

Nitsch

I have tried to deflect bullets with the Vanu knife....but my jedi powers keep failing me.

Vanu knife doesn't glow all the time, they only glow in secondary mode. So just pull out your knife in standard mode, sneak up to you enemy, change to secondary, and stab! All the knives are suppost to give something away when it is in its more powerful secondary mode. TR and NC knives make loud noises and Vanu knives glow.

Heh... on an unrelated note, I spawned into an enemy base (I don't know if they were occuping it, if they hadn't hacked it yet, if someone on my side had hacked the spawn tube, allowing me to spawn, or whatever) and was fighting in the basement, hiding behind the cargo boxes... I was firing a near solid stream of Cycler ammo, zoomed in on one guy, when an infil runs right through my gunfire. Stupid NCs...
