There could be several different knives, each with a whole lot of customization options to them. There could be a whole skill tree for Infiltrators dedicated for the knives.

There is a whole world of knives out there, a whole world that would simply fade away with quick knives.

Besides, quick knives are only useful for a fast paced FPS with a lot of close combat. A insta kill weapon used when the enemy gets to close to you.
Planetside 2's kill speed is said to be between BF BC2 and PS1. Thats way to slow to have insta kill quick knives not be completly overpowered. Means no insta kill for them, means they become quite useless.
Now, with actual knives, and a dedicated tree of customization, a whole new level of potential cool stuff appears. Cloakers could get a special customization that gives their knive high damage, almost an insta kill.
There could be customizations for faster stabbing, higher damage, heck even throwing it. There is loads of potential.
^ This for sure.

If it has to be quick, I rather want the character to hit with the weapon. If you wana knife, you better equip it

Seriously. You disappointed me today team. The majority of the FPS crowd never liked quick knives. We never asked for them. WE never liked them, we always wanted good ol knives.
Just dont try to look at other games and do what they do just because they do it. That wont work, it never did. We gamers want new games, with new fresh ideas. Not just a copy of other stuff.

Everything in CoD and Battlefield should just be ommitted by defualt.

People who like stuff in those games will keep playing those games.

Re: Quick Knife



Quick knife, or... punching people in the face to get their weapons! :o

Also. Handbow with sedation darts for infils (slow enemy reflexes?). :P

Oh who am I kidding? xD Great for PD, probably not as much for PS2. Still, shame that damn N64 controller stopped working.

I want to see knives be better than PS1, but not just a 100% kill on targets...

Let's not mince words here Radar my boy: Everyone hates it.

Toss the idea in the bin, start on next idea. Look at all the development time we saved you guys

I'm ok with the BF3 backstab, if your going to kill someone in the back its much more stylish to use a knife rather than a gun.

Re: Quick Knife


Effects should be based on context:

Hit a static dude in the back and you kill him;
Hit a mobile dude in the back and he gets a .5 sec prompt allowing him to hit his melee button and counter, at which point both of you have your melee attacks on a 5 sec cooldown (basically preventing blocking people by spamming this). If he doesn't react in the .5 secs, he's down;
Hit a static dude in the face, give him the same .5 sec prompt, under the same conditions as above;
Hit a mobile dude in the face, give him 1 sec to react, but instead of instakill if he fails to react, knock him down for several seconds.

Weapon could be anything, not necesserally a knife - it could depend on the context as well.

I have to say you disappoint me for being disappointed, after all they asked us and are likely to make a fairly big decision based on what we want.

Re: Quick Knife


Best not to have everything do varied in damage output, though, I suppose. All variations of melee weaponry could just be personal style. Only difference would be animations, I guess, to further help players decide their style of melee pounce.

Yeah I'm ok with those...

Re: Quick Knife


knifebattles in ps1 were really fun, i wouldn´t like to loose that feature too.
quickinstadeath is neither fun, nor is it a challange. in a knife fight, both players have a real chance if they react quickly enough. reducing this to just being the one who pressed the emergency button first feels just wrong.
