    Do people seriously bitch about using a knife?

    Like I can somewhat understand bitching about Rockets. Even Sniper or Shotty.


    but not a knife.

    There are some aspects of knifing in a lot of FPS's that are dubious.

    Namely how a knife is almost always a 1 to 2 hit kill whereas in many FPS's, about 15 body shots with a plasma rifle will take you down to only 15%.

    knifing in counter-strike was pretty fun

    i think per knife hit it was 45 damage or so

    55 if they have armor, 65 if they do not, more than 100 with a backstab

    so it is always at worst a 2 hit kill

    see here for more info

    cept in this game it's like 3 body/arm shots to kill when in the correct range, one sniper headshot at any range, or 5 leg shots in range

    I haven't been able to decide if tac knife-commando-lightweight-marathon is best, or lightweight-marathon-steady aim w/akimbo 1887's.

    And by best, I mean worst thing to happen to this fps in awhile.

    The best thing that can happen is that someone steps up to the plate and makes an FPS with jetpacks and grappling hooks again.

    Anything else is just uncivilized.

    but not a knife.

    I'm sure there are some.

    If I get killed by a knife I always feel like an ass about it. It means I let them get too close or something along those lines.

    where i come from this game looks exactly the same as every other fps ever made except they added retarded shit like dual wielding sawn off shotguns.

    edit: I liked the comic though! The dog rapist line was p. funny.

    I think this is the first gameplay video I've seen that wasn't just an attempt to demonstrate how bad or broken the game is

    though considering the work he does with those shotguns, this video may be one of those too

    no, I understand why other people like it

    the reason I'm glad I don't play it is because I would just play it like, oh, there's a guy, let's shoot him

    and in the course of trying to shoot this guy I would die 700 times

    no thanks

    you should get it for PC some time

    it is like a whole new game compared to 360

    also it is pretty much the best shooter for letting people who are not good at shooting still help in some way

    man, people are flipping out that I am on their ignored list

    I'm getting pm's and stuff

    they made that thread in the bug report thing

    it seems like I'm the least bothered by this turn of events

    tdot I appreciate the advice but the only way I'm getting tf2 at this point is for sub $5.00 or if someone gifts it to me

    I'm a lazy man

    If by 20 feet you mean 4 feet and teleport you mean jump, sure. It is pretty nice though. I've been using it for a while.

    Wait

    Reading the news post, what does he mean when he talks about teleporting knife users

    Is there an actual power that allows you to skip the process of running them down before you stab t hem, risking life and limb to get the kill

    Doesn't that remove the delicious glory of the kill?
