Poll: Speed knifing in MW2

[-Samurai-]

I'm pretty sure I've used every gun in that game to the point of learning them except the F2000, could you tell me what the hell that gun is for, its like an SMG but without the hip-fire accuracy.

The hip-fire accuracy is beautiful(especially with steady aim). Its speed makes it extremely useful in those tight areas.

The F2000 is a great short-to-medium range weapon. You can use it for long range, but you really have to burst fire. The gun really shines on a map like Sub Base, Skid row, Invasion, Terminal(those long corridors can hurt, though), Rust, or Karachi.

Attachment wise, the optic sights are useless. The gun has to much recoil to make them worth using(the default sight is open and obstruction free, giving you a great view of everything, even while aiming). Even when burst-firing you'll lose track of your target. Silencer and FMJ(together or separate) are great choices, but the gun really benefits from extended magazines. The speed makes you burn through ammo quickly and the extended mags can help remedy this problem Since the F2000 has a fairly long reload time, extended mags can buy you some extra firing time. Scavenger pro works wonders with this gun.

When aiming, you'd do best to aim for the groin and let the recoil do its work. Or, if you like headshots, aim center mass. I unlocked the fall camouflage fairly easily aiming at their chest and letting it float up.

I heard someone complaining about this saying they are noobs and its lame but if you get knifed in the face and couldn't shoot the shit out of them before they hit you then you deserve a knifing.

yea. Because theres anything you can actually do about it. You shoot them and it doesn't count because of commando's reach.

lol thats awesome. I guess it would annoy some people. I think its hilarious though.

Its so much fun to hear them Rage though, isn't it?

Making knifers rage is practically a game unto itself.

I heard someone complaining about this saying they are noobs and its lame but if you get knifed in the face and couldn't shoot the shit out of them before they hit you then you deserve a knifing.

Unfortunately, the "commando" perk causes them to instantaneously teleport directly into your face and stab you before you can line your sights up. It's complete bullshit on urban maps, where there's all of about three areas with enough space to avoid being in melee range the second you make visual contact. Even with my anti-knifer class, it still requires a certain amount of luck to put some buckshot into them before the game declares you dead the second they hit the "melee" button.

lol. Sounds like the sword in halo. And the video i see up top is pretty awesome.

except in halo you can bulltrue them easier than you can kill a teleporter in mw2, and in mw2 they have the sprint combo put on so its much easier once again.

OT: i hardly ever play anymore..because of how broken the game is, but i deal with it/bane of my existance sometimes, its ridiculous and one of my friends did that combo IMMEDIATELY when the game came out and he had mvp every round until people finally figured out how to slowly combat it with an all shotty team against us, so yeah it is annoying and overpowered. plus it can overcome juggernaut so thats another broken part of it.

When this happens you go AA-12 with scavenger.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

It can be annoying, but frankly, if someone can run right up to you, caution to the wind and stick a knife in you that easily, you're fair game as far as I'm concerned.

Besides, I do it sometimes too. It's fun, and a good way to fight fire with fire if you've got a particularly annoying one in your game.

Nail, meet Hammer. Hammer, meet nail. If your face gets my knife on it then it wasn't my fault. I was running, and pressed the button when you got in my way. You should have been alert.

Anyway when it happens to me, I change my class to the one set with M21 FMJ, choose my spot and take him out in two shots and move. When I see him again, I do the same and take comfort knowing he's calling me a ******.

It's not even a problem, just a nuisance on occasion.

 

[CaptainCrunch]

It's a great loadout, and totally not an exploit. It really only works well on small, 'city' maps anyway, and even then people just start noob-tubing with Scavenger to stop you. I'd say this anti-'speed knifing' combo is more annoying, because a 360 can't handle the constant explosion animations - often resulting in excessive lag and disconnects.

 

[OtakuNinja]

Oh look, it's this thread again.

The Commando lunge is ridiculous, but if you don't kill them while they're running up to get close enough to do it, than it's your fault. They're running straight at you in a game where 2-3 bullets from most guns will drop someone. You deserve to get knifed if they come from right in front of you and you don't put them out of their misery.

Speed knifers are a mild annoyance. You know what's slightly more annoying than people that use speed knifing? People that quick scope with the Intervention. You know what's slightly more annoying than that? Grenade launcher attachment, 2x Thumpers and Scavenger. You know what's more annoying than all three of the above combined? The fifteen millionth complaint thread about how broken Modern Warfare 2 is. If you dislike it that much, fine, just don't play the bloody thing. If you like the game too much to stop playing it over these issues, than that's fine too. Just stop cluttering up the place with all these frigging threads about how much you dislike something in a game that you're going to keep playing anyways.

If you don't like Marathon, Sleight of Hand Pro, Scavenger, One Man Army, Stopping Power, Lightweight, Cold Blooded, Commando, Killstreaks, Akimbo shotguns and G18s, Quick Scoping, Heartbeat Sensors or tactical knives, and you would much prefer to play without these things, than I've got one little bit of advice that may help you out:
YOU'RE PLAYING THE WRONG FUCKING GAME.
The perks, the quick scoping, the ridiculous lunging and killstreaks are all part of the game known as Modern Warfare 2. They're part of the experience, and if you don't like that, than go and play something else.

i devote my entire existance to your awesomeness

 

[FinalFreak16]

Meh, too many of them tho. Personally I hate camping snipers more

I understand that you can feel annoyed when getting shot by the same sniper more than once. But camping is a trait of a sniper. Its what they are supposed to do. Find a good spot and dispatch as many enemy players as possibly before they flush you out. True a good sniper will change location often to avoid being found but you cant rage against camping snipers.

You should however rage about quickscope snipers. That stuff is ridiculous.

 

[Captain Pirate]

I can tolerate it, but it's bloody annoying. I tried it once, and though very fun, and I can see why people do it, I like to make it a bit more fair on the enemy and when I did it I remembered how annoyed it makes me, so I don't do it.

Plus, holding down the left stick to sprint hurts my thumbs.

 

[DigitalSushi]

I stopped playing because of the amount of people abusing it's broken gameplay aspects. Like speed knifing. And I go into an argument because someone troll'd me.

The ACR is probably the best assult rifle. It's pretty much just like the M4 but more accurate.

Sit rep is one of the last third perks you unlock and it allows you to see enemy eplosives through walls. It's useful for S&D style games.

Next time someone trolls you, just don't bite.

Oh yeah I've unlocked SitRep, I use it in team games, good for seeing claymores at objectives. Sneaky gits that put claymores down.

It's a great loadout, and totally not an exploit. It really only works well on small, 'city' maps anyway, and even then people just start noob-tubing with Scavenger to stop you. I'd say this anti-'speed knifing' combo is more annoying, because a 360 can't handle the constant explosion animations - often resulting in excessive lag and disconnects.

My incredibly more powerful PS3 can handle though, I agree with you that that is the way to go on "city" or "tight" maps, but on larger maps such as derail then a different load out is needed.

I know this is unrelated, but what's the song?

 

[FightThePower]

It's so amazingly cheap. However, there is a perfect counter, and that is to equip a shotgun. Most of them are stupid enough to run straight at you, and a SPAS-12 blast has a longer range than the knife.

Hilariously, someone once called me a noob for using the SPAS on him when he was running around with Marathon, Lightweight and Commando. People have such double standards.

 

[JayJayinMay]

He-he.i use a noob class.Spas 12 and UMP.

 

[Iandiaeufaieubfeuihfi]

I only do it when theres a god load amount of riot shielders. If it's used against me, then i get my shotgun class and blast the living shit out of them.

 

[squid5580]

I haven't wanted to see a knife in an FPS since Turok. Man that shit was stupid.

Would someone mind explaining this quick scope thing? COD isn't sci fi enough for my tastes so I have never played.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I've got one little bit of advice that may help you out:
YOU'RE PLAYING THE WRONG FUCKING GAME.

And you're in the wrong thread.

People can discuss what they want to, don't be such a party pooper.

Dude, who cares.

It's fun.

and that's what games are for. Fun.

The game would be a lot more fun for a lot more people without it.

Thank fucking god.

Basically what he said. Shut up and play the game. Or don't play. But definitely shut up!

Thank you for that constructive contribution.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

Annoying as hell and espcially inconvient, but they generally hate it when i drop them with my glocks.

The G18's? They are AWESOME! I got 24-2 on Wasteland using only Akimbo G18's with Steady Aim. T'was awesome.

OT: I dislike tac knifers when there's many of them, like earlier today, when I got on a server in progress (Because apparently, pre game lobbies don't exist) where there were 8 or 9 tac knifers out of 12 people. Much rage was made. But most often I just shoot them to bits with my sniper, a SPAS 12 with Foregrip for insane range.

Very nicely put. It's precisly all these reasons I just stay away from MW2. Don't like it and never have.

Seriously why does it matter if the game is broken?

It's the biggest game of all time, suppossedly the flag bearer for our favorite medium. If it is successful (and it was) it will be the example other developers follow.

It took an almost perfected formula (COD4) and screwed with it until it was a complete clusterfuck.

I've never seen people get so excited and passionate about a game then have thier hopes dashed so badly, it's not hard to imagine why it upset a few people.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

I'm so glad that I'm old enough to only come to threads like this to see why on earth people are talking about Mech Warrior 2.

THANK YOU!

I don't care how many people say it, MW2 will always be MechWarrior 2, and Modern Warfare 2 will always be CoD6.

Quoted for truth. I'm actually enjoying some MW4 right now and the nostalgia is burning my brain.
