Quick Knife - Is it really the best option? - Page 3

dont really care if its a quick knife or a quick rifle bash, to me its just a different animation with the same affect

i dont even care if they put in a quick melee or not, it just care about the effect it will have.

You forgot under the ribs. Was one of the Romans favorite places with a Gladius. Only need a 2 inch hole there from memory.

Ask the guy who is knifed instead and the one who is bashed with the rifle butt. The difference should be in damage.

I too am against instant kills with knife.. (except when Inf backstabs a stationary target)

Maybe a knife ya gotta pull out manually that 1 hits, but a quick block button with a cooldown, but a much slower cooldown with knife equipped or somthing, to encourage people to pull their knife out n duke it out. That'd be made even cooler with a kick button or something that can either knock them back or leave you exposed. It'd turn it into a very skill based punch on. Cause like the Marine said, If they know your there, there's likely to be a struggle and it turns into a bit of a brawl before you can reliable neutralize them.

Totally against quick knife, but at the very least SOE should review Bad Company 2's 1 hit kill aimbot autoknife that will let you knife through walls and pull you up onto ledges above your head to knife, for an example of what we should not have.

Never had a problem with quick-knifing. I can understand why everyone is losing their *expletive* over it but as many of you like to say....wait until beta.

so 2 different melee attacks?
i'm pretty sure i will rarely use 1 let alone 2

i'd rather take a gun to a knifefight then a knife to a gunfight

Rifle bash + Equippable knife.

Think "rifle bash" for those situations when you are low on ammo, and really close to your opponent.

Think "equippable knife" like CS, something more for cloakers.

I am starting to like the idea of a bayonet cert more and more. A bayonet would give you reach, more mass In your swing to penetrate armor and would look awesome to see your mates gigging the enemy.

oh i see , yeah i can get behind that.

but i still only really care about the effect it will have, and even then i just dont want it to be instakill, everything else is pretty much fine by me.

the only exception to this would be is that i would except a instakill knife if you managed to sneak up behind someone who was standing still.

We think alike, it should be like this for light classes. But to insta-kill HA Infiltator would have to max out his Melee cert tree. MAX should be resistant to most of melee attack however.

exactly

people blam BF3 all the time, and i do admit it's kinda gone to shit.
however i do think they devised a great knifing system that can be easily expanded upon.

i want to be able to equip, and customize, my knife. I want it to represent what I do... i don't want it to be a "Secondary" weapon. It is my knife... and those that bleed upon it are my victims. It is not an accident, it is not running out of ammunition. It is my focus... my craft... and my way.

DayOne · 2012-06-12, 10:01 AM

I don't care too much about what damage it does (1 hit kill animation from behind would be perfect though) but NO QUICK KNIFE EVER! It's just bad.

Also...

This. Very much this.
