Re: Knife posibilities...

Its arguably the riflemans failure if he cant kill the knifer given his unbelievably large tactical advantage.

Oh so? So if I spot a guy several meters away and open up on him and he runs up to me while taking fire and stabs me, that's my fault? Knives need to take more than one hit to kill, with hit points and weapon accuracy being the way they are.

If the knife kills with 1 hit you'll see medics only. Run, knife, heal...

Re: Knife posibilities...

The ET:QW solution would probably suit both camps here: a one-shot melee kill that occurs only if you employ stealth to get into position to stab an unaware enemy in the back, otherwise it takes several hits.

Unfortunately, I doubt that the 2142 engine will permit such a distinction.

I have never had someone be able to charge up on me with a knife and get within range if I saw them....

So yes, it does sound like a personal problem :-P

Re: Knife posibilities...

Iv always felt that in these types of games (concentrating on soldiers) a knife attack would be a 1 hit kill, merely for the fact that soldiers are trained to kill or atleast incapacitate with such a weapon. Chances are if you stab someone in the face/neck (especially) they are gonna be out of action atleast temporarily.

Re: Knife posibilities...

Yes but I don't think soldiers can do that while sprinting around in 3 meter circles 10 times over. Like most do when they get into a "knife fight" Unless it can be only 1 hit kill in the back or head then it should remain 2 hits. If it takes more than 2 hits then you missed/lagged/or he healed himself.
