They don't require a stupid reload. My victims can confirm that for me as they struggled to reload while trying to dodge me in a close quarter 1v1 confrontation while I sprint literally under their gun. Can you do a regular melee with nova knives? If not, it wouldn't be too hard to just melee NKers to death.

Wonder how many bullets welcomed his face before he got his first kill lol Even using all proto gear, and more than likely fighting mostly standard/militia users. And getting killed by them.

Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1058	Posted - 2012.12.26 21:14:00 - [5] - Quote I've found their advantage! They have the lowest PG/CPU usage (per tier) of any weapons. Most scouts have fitting issues, and nova knives can help give them that extra CPU/PG boost they need for another profile dampener or kinetic catylizer (which will then make the knives more effective)

For general gameplay where you just want to pick up a weapon and kill people without putting much thought into it, of course the Nova Knife is useless. But this is a special weapon that is not tailored for general gameplay is it? It's a weapon for pros. Scrubs or Blueberries need not even touch it. Scrubs are not even worthy of looking at it. Think of it as the Law Giver from Judge Dread: can only be used by a Judge. That's terrible logic. Better logic: it's more or less a sidearm shotgun. What sidearm outperforms a non-sidearm at the non-sidearm's job?

It is hard for combat confrontation. I believe its meant for stealth confrontation. I just use it for giggles. Which is why I'm looking forward to the cloak modules. I'm already pretty good with the knife. Imagine me with the cloak. Whoever tried sneaking up on me when I was giving overwatch wasn't, but I doubt it was you. Just saw a red dot show up behind me, and I was sprinting down the mountain before they could hit me. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a scout however, since someone told me a heavy was heading my way and I heard forge shots hitting behind me on my way to cover.

Just saw a red dot show up behind me, and I was sprinting down the mountain before they could hit me. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a scout however, since someone told me a heavy was heading my way and I heard forge shots hitting behind me on my way to cover. Definitely wasn't me. I never use a heavy suit. If it was me, I would've chased you down all the way into the red zone if I had to. And considering I can sprint two football fields in 20 seconds, you would not live. That's why i figured it wasn't you A. not a scout B. showed up on radar Now if someone told me they saw a scout heading my way, I would have probably moved without even bothering to watch my radar first like I did in that situation.
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1058	Posted - 2012.12.27 16:55:00 - [9] - Quote I remember Maken Tosch once saying hitting in the back deals more damage- it seems to be the case with regular melee too. I hit a sniper (at full health) in the back with a shotgun (hand to hand combat level I), and it OHKed them.
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1058	Posted - 2012.12.27 17:38:00 - [10] - Quote Also, they must have changed something, because you can do regular melee attacks with nova knives now. Got a good deal of kills with standard ones . Even charge-stabbed one red, and immediately OHKed the other with a regular stab.
