Title: Knifing can be fun
Post by: Dr Sadako on December 11, 2007, 10:46:41 PM
but when it means that your team loses a round or you are letting a team mate die because you are after a knife kill then you are all wrong. That is not TCS.
 
Sure we (the admins) allow fun on MH on Friday nights but now it has become common on all servers and any day of the week. TCS/PCS was founded on three basic rules:
 
1. Team
2. Objective
3. Kills
 
You should prioritise your team then the objective and at last kills. This doesn't mean you aren't allowed to knife somebody. However, if you by going for an unnecessary knife kill compromise either your team or the objective you should avoid it. Note that you are included in "team". So if you die taking unnecessary risks you compromise the team and the objective.
 
Just a reminder.

Seconded. I've never been someone who's going for a knifekill but lately I find myself trying to take people out with the knife aswell (on MH only as I don't have alot of CSS-gametime lately) and usually take them out in the back when they rushed by me. Usually ending in me getting killed though..
 
One thing that happend to me a few weeks ago; 2 people started charging up towards me with their knifes out; I take them out and what do they say; Ah come one, why not knife?
For me it's; Gun-Pistol-Knife...Fastswitch for the win...
 
Shoot you out there...

Quote from: Whitey;214809I've noticed an increase in the number of times people are going for knife kills.  It can be funny but not when your the last man alive and lose the round for your team mates by going for a knife kill.  Killing someone with the knife when you run out of bullets or are stuck in close combat is valid at any time.

I think this thread was needed as my previous post on this subject has been missed/ignored by a lot of people.

I agree although I never think about using the knife (Why would you when you have a 12 gauge shotgun in your hands)

But i know some of the lads enjoy the kudos of a knife kill, also there seems to be a hell of alot more random players on Boomer at the moment which seems to be affecting the mood.

Don't know how many times I've seen [dMr] please type motd - [RANDOM] Your rules are rubbish blah blah blah

I think it helps when on spawn someone takes the lead and the general TCS should prevail.

I'm often glad when someone comes at me with a knife, I hear them switch to it which gives me a chance and then I just have to turn round and shoot. I'm of the opinion that while I still have bullets left, no matter what the gun I'll use them over a knife.

I find it so gratifying when I kill someone trying to knife me.. "stupid boy.. now you're dead"
 
Doc is right. Knife kills on MH are fun to go for but it is defo not TCS.

QuoteKnifing is a bad habit of mine from GunGame, specially if I see a back (instant kill and fairly quiet). Now we mention it I do wonder whether it gets taken too far at the detriment of TCS. Perhaps a topic for discussion else where.

So basically chasing someone half way around a map with your knife out and a fully loaded gun on your back is frowned upon. :blush:


Anyway, I do agree 100% and I will try to lead by example. No more Jamoe X.

Use the number keys and quick switch, it might save you some time.

It looks like you use your mouse to switch weapons.
 
What T-bag is saying use your number keys to swap weapons fast or use the quickswap button. But that works for 2 the one you use now and the last one used most of the time your pistol...

I's shaking on the inside :narnar:
 
But serously being the git with a knife is a sure fire way to lose the friends you have very quickly, yes in games life BF2/2142 (especially on the french servers) being the git is fun and rewarding due to the stats and awards you get, but in cs its fruitless. yes i had a little giggle knifing Mr Blunt (sir) but there is nothing after that to show for it (wasnt quick enough for the screenie :()
 
i like the tactical play that we have on tcs and having fun with you guys on a friday night and monday when you join bf2... i get most of my satifaction on a friday night looking at my score being something like 0/12 K\D but my team winning over all safe in the knowledge that someone has emtied a clip into me when they could have gone after sadako or whitey (or any of the good players)...
 
can you bring the crayola's and the rubber gloves again i enjoyed it last time :p
