    If they get the jump on you, they deserve the knife kill I think.

    No yeah if you jump and knife you'll home right in and stab a guy int he face. I don't remember any games other than MW2 or BC2 that running up to a dude and stabbing was more effective than shooting.

    Usually if a guy tries to knife you from the front you just run towards him a bit and sidestep. He normally lunges through you and you just shoot him in the side.

    At least that's what people do to me :x

    Also that dogtags counter is unique dogtags.

    Disappointing. I guess the 6 tags I have from CarbonFire only count as one.

    My K/D is so low from completing too many objectives. Ah well. I did once get 64 kills in a round while still playing correctly though and not using vehicles, which I think is impressive. We lost. :-/

    I think it's stupid as hell. You should get bled out over a period of time from getting stabbed from a knife not INSTANTDEAD. FFS you wouldn't die that quick if you got sprayed with an m60 that actually shot knives at you.

    Guys survive hits from a gustav 3 feet away from impact, but not the knife. There's no escaping that 4" blade constructed of what must be nuclear powered demon death vomit toxin ass gland explosive.

    Think of it as more of a reward for actually getting close enough to knife someone. Especially in this where a lot of the combat is mid-long range. I don't know about you, but very rarely am I engaging targets close enough for me to knife or for them to knife me.

    I was sprinting from a spawn the other day towards an MCOM. I was still a ways out, though, when up ahead I saw a flash, heard a boom, and saw four teammates fly in the air in different directions. One was shot straight up, the others to the right across my screen. One hit what I think was a telephone pole or something, and sort of wrapped himself around it.

    The ragdoll, while subtle, is well done in this game.

    The conquest maps seem a bit too big for 8 players. I could imagine it being great if it was a proper game mode with smaller maps like Squad Rush, though.

    I'm more in shock that there's a squad conquest. I've known about squad rush since before it even came out. Was the stupid ass gamestop pre-order exclusive.

    The fact that there's also, possibly, squad conquest gives me a chubby.

    Best killcam: Being sniped and then seeing someone go all shiv crazy maximum security style on the sniper.

    I will issue the final proclamation on knives btw: They are fine, except sometimes buggy as fuck. I've missed knife kills I should have had (including at least one where a Kill Bill amount of blood issued forth from my target), and got hit by knife kills that shouldn't have (through 3 inches on concrete, from someone facing 180 degrees away, etc). I've got a couple bullshit ones myself, including through a wall about as thick as the knife.

    My top BF feature (not really, but kinda): A kill cam that shows bright red tracers for your bullets. Sometimes I wonder what dimension my shotgun slugs end up in.

    Yes, Conquest, one squad per side. Which is what we ended up playing for at least three hours on Angry Dome because noone else was online.

    Goddamn that was epic on the day-time snow village map. No getting gunned down by a medic blob, lots of building-to-building fighting, flanking and ambushes you can't really do with a full 32 players because you'll just flank into another group and then it all goes Charlie Foxtrot.
