I know it looks cool and hardens everyone's e-peeners when they dramatically stab someone in an online FPS, but I enjoyed the days when you could just kill someone by slicing them.
Anyone who makes the argument "you can't kill someone by just cutting them in real life" needs to go to bed. You definitely can, and I'm sure 21,000 years into the future we would have developed a knife that can do that rather effectively through armor, or why else carry it?
If I didn't have ro freeze in place for three seconds in battlefield 3 everytime I went to stick someone I guarentee my 2.3 KDR would be higher. I don't know why you people want this - it's essentially a death wish to pull this crap. Knifing someone is now a murder/suicide pact in B3 and K3.
What if I don't want to one hit kill them with a knife? What if all I really did want to do is slash them so I could keep moving? If they add knife finishing animations to Dust, it needs to be something you intentionally initiate, not something that freezes you in place and gets you killed thereby making it a dumb decision to knife in CQC as opposed to jiggling around just waiting for your weapon to reload, and then fire at your enemy who has no idea you are there 2 feet away. Maybe if you hold the knife button down, have a new kind of knife you buy at the market, but not a knife that you just swing once at someone. That kind of defeats the entire purpose of leveling up your knife skill. |

An hypothetical animation might take 2-3 sec which is faster than the current melee: it takes multiple slashes to kill someone, heavies takes forever, so a melee kill is about 4-5 seconds now if we consider the overall danging you have to do to get the kill.
No need to go Charles Manson on them. Do you have any points in you knife skill?
You can soften them with gunfire too, then knife you know. Or knife first then finish them with gunfire. Either easy, it seems cheap to invest millions, literally millions of Skill Points into you chosen dropsuit only to be eliminated by a single knife. Also, again, what's the point of investing points in the knife skill then? |

you're asking why a soldier should carry a knife?
You have COMPLETELY missed the point of my topic. Completely. It was a hypothetical question and I'm not going to treat you like such a child by explaining why I asked it.
FYI, I am in the military. I know why a soldier should carry a knife better than you do. I promise. |

Bump. As long as the other topic asking for knife animations is on the front page, this one needs to be as well. |
