Do you think the knife is underpowered?

[westie]

I personally think the knife is underpowerd and because of that i see know point using it.

Right-click.

No, because, yea, first of all, use the secondary attack. It's more powerful (one hit kill I believe or close to it). And second, one knife slash or even two isn't gonna kill someone that instant. In real life even if you slit a guy's throut, he's not gonna die right there... he can still look up and shot you in the head while his neck is oozing blood (yea, I know, good image to have in your mind). No one said this game was realistic but it's more realistic than not,

The knife deals 45 damage with secondary attack and its an instant kill if the person's back is toward you (you are not going to shoot a gun at someone if you dont have a spinal cord =P). The only thing i wish the knife had was the cool schawnk sound it used to when ever you stuck someone with it and if the hitbox lag didnt make it impossible to knife in scoutzknivez.

 

[Exclamatio]

lol the knife is fine

 

[Uni-Ball]

yeah that lag is prolly only attributed to crappy pc and the fact that scoutzknivez is pretty laggy in general

 

[beam]

lol the knife is fine

Yea, I still wish I could throw it though....would make a nice emergency weapon.

If you don't see the point using it thats your problem.

All the cs source forums are filled with this shit...

Yea bring back the meaty knife sounds! And bring the CZ way of holding the knife, that kicked so much ass. Also, I dont think theres actually different animations for left click or right click, is that just me?

use the secondary attack, that usually works. Never gotten close to an enemy to do it mind you, but I have done it to a team mate

 

[jmjneary]

yes you cant even get head shots anymore

 

[Sieg]

If you are using the secondary kinfe attack on someone with a full body armour then it will take 2 blows in the head,4 in the body.

 

[westie]

Perhaps thats why i think the knife is underpowered because they were wearing Kevlar it takes about 4 hits.

 

[nick_t]

(you are not going to shoot a gun at someone if you dont have a spinal cord =P). .

the whole back-stab thing is meant to emulate you slicing/stabbing someone's neck. it's a little difficult to cut through bone with a knife made for slicing/stabbing - you need a jagged edge.

 

[jmjneary]

sieg head shots are non existant witht the knife at lease in the sence of old css

lmao not true. No matter what, the knife's secondary fire does 55 damage, unless to the back. So if it took you 4 hits, then you were missing lmao.

The knife is perfect, make it easier, and it wont take skill anymore, which would make this dod:cs:s

It'd be awesome if all the wounds in the game worked like that! Maybe you take a little more damage over time. Also perhaps if you took several shots to the leg or something you could take a small amount of damage when you run/jump.

Well, back on topic.
I think that the secondary fire is fine, one or two hits will kill easily. I do manage to kill people with knife in those desperate situations occasionally, the knife definatly shouldn't be a super popular weapon anyway. Primary fire damage is pathetic. I think it has slightly longer range than secondary fire, still its no use for anything other than one-on-one knife fights.

I think they should get rid of the slash and make LMB the stab. Then they could add a knife throw to the RMB. Obviously you would have to retrieve your knife (or someone else's) if you threw it.

Ha, I never thought of that when I was typin' that.

Say, in-game, you slice someone's neck and blood shoots out on the walls... although that could get messy. :naughty:

I like the idea of throwing knives but it's just so unrealistic that I don't think VALVe's gonna even concider it.
