The knife class was the first annoying build I encountered but I've eventually come to terms with them. Most of the time, when I AM killed by such a player it was because I did not see them coming and they would have killed me regardless.Skooterz said:
Not necessarily. You're only outsmarting the IW programmers who thought it was a good idea to let people run faster while holding care-package flares.justcallmeslow said:
I don't really find it to be a problem. My tactical knife and reflexes are more than a match for...
*record skips* Wait, what? When did this happen? My brother was doing this the other day!flaming_squirrel said:
What is the point in adding a speed increase to the Care Package Smoke Grenade? It seems unfair to me that they abuse this glitch just because Infinity Ward made an idiot choice to add speed to something that shouldn't have speed.

I haven't noticed it, I strangely not get knifed often anyway.
I love the First Recon class from time to time. The UMP for long distance, the Magnum itself for medium distance or the knife to run in and stab him. I get a healthy balance of kills with all 3, and the upside is that I don't go out of ammo quickly, which means I can usually keep going longer. Except on the rare occasions that Rust pop up, especially in Free-for-All that map is a freakishly fun and hectic knife-fest.
At least it's a lot more fun, dynamic and challenging than camping in a corner, as is the problem with MW2 quite often. The whole game rewards camping.
Unintended? IW made their own class (First Recon) based around this. It's not an exploit, it's not bug abusing, it's most definitely intended. Afterall, it makes you for a much stealthier killer and it doesn't rely on ammo, which has it's advantages, and you don't need a silencer, which means that you can leave that valuable attachment space open for something better for when you do switch to guns.Zing said:

Because the grenade launcher is a good tool against campers, it easily blows them out of their cover, and in MW2 you need counters vs campers, as the game is full of them. Sadly it's...well, we all know.Foggy_Fishburne said:
As for the G18's, I have also noticed an increase in their usage, but what's so OP about them? I usually kill people with them easily, except when I try to knife them, then they hose me down.
So that brainless monkeys without the ability to use a mouse properly can kill people by aiming in their general direction, I'm not even joking that probably is the reason for then being implemented.Foggy_Fishburne said:
Semtex / frags are plenty enough to take care of campers, tubes are just abused beyond belief.Cowabungaa said:
Akimbo G18's combined with steady aim are essentially 1887's with less downtime, you can run into a room and spray everyone dead before they even realise you've entered.
Yeah, but I usually see them coming, and can react accordingly.Saul B said:
And they rarely sneak up on me, since I play Team Fortress 2 and am paranoid from all the spies that assassinate me from behind...
Basically just watch your surroundings, and you should be fine.
What I find annoying is that when someone knifes with it they duck down but retain their speed, making it REALLY hard to shoot them
