So I decided to dump all my starter SP into the new nova knifes....bad idea >_< Visually they're very cool since you dual wield them, the problem is that you have to charge them. When charging the nova knife, you can't sprint or jump without breaking the charge. This means you have to first get directly on top of them, charge, and strike, all the while hoping that they don't simply backpedal away from you, as you take continuous fire from them. Also since they're their own weapon now, it's much harder to switch from gun to knife in the heat of combat.
As is, nova knifes are very disappointing. I'll do some more testing tonight, but as is, they've left a very bad taste in my mouth. Any one else try them yet? |

By charge I mean you have to hold down the trigger to charge them, and keep it held down until you release it for the attack. |

I wish I was incredibly high. I'm sorry for doing what beta testers are supposed to do, you know, test. |

Shotguns do it WAY better. As it stands, you have to be really lucky to get up on people and kill them, since they have to be completely still to hurt them. |

I'm not talking about the damage, the stats are fine. It's actually HOW the knife works. Basically, using the knife eliminates your mobility, which you NEED in order to get kills with it, since if your opponent simply strafes or backpedals, you'll miss and have to charge up for another swipe as they're shooting you.
I'll repeat, the actual WAY you use the knife seems counterproductive to the whole, stab him in the face process. |
