One thing about the knife award...if idiots are just running around with knives trying to get it, they never will, right? They will just get gunned down unless they use the knife professionally. I think the award is possibly to teach people how to use the knife well. neutral

Uh...

Well, if they don't run around with knives trying to get the award, they definitely will never get it, so they'll be sure to do their utmost to try.

I know, is only been mentioned a hundred times, but we're talking about using it exclusively to get the badge.

Exactly. The knife is good as a last resort weapon, not as good as a main weapon.

Re: Ranking. It's cool and all that but...

Why are you complaining about the award if they will never get it? Remember, if people are just running all over the place with knives, then they will be easy targets. If the noobs who do this just keep getting killed over and over and over again, they will most likely either give up, or try more professional tactics, which the knife was meant for. (I.E. Stealth kills, Ammo Conservation Kills, Etc.) The knife is just as good a weapon as anything else, but it just needs to be used right to be that good. It's the same as trying to use a pistol against an AT-ST. It has it's own way of being useful, but if it is used wrong, it is completely useless.

OK, one more time: I'm complaining about the fact that they will run around with knives getting themselves killed. Not that they'll not get the award. Some of them will, of course.

Remember, if people are just running all over the place with knives, then they will be easy targets.

Thank you. That's what I've been saying all along, that the award will make people run around and get themselves killed en masse. Same reason we're leaving out dog tags. Yes, the knife is good in some very few situations, but the award is just going to get people to run around trying to use it as their main weapon.

Right, which is why it shouldn't be in as well...it does exactly the same thing dogtags would.

Some of you just don't get the concept and overall reason that we HAVE a knife. If you run out of ammo, use it. If you want to kill someone without being noticed, use it. If you're right next to someone, use it. (you know...to conserve ammo.) If you took the knife out, you would most likely get even more complaints; not just from noobs. I'm not saying put in dogtags...im just saying leave it be. An award is just an award. It's exactly the same as any other award. For example...there is a demolitions award. Shouldn't you both be making a topic saying, "Take out the demolitions award or all the noobs will run around spamming explosives and trying to use grenades over guns as their main weapons!"? It's pretty much the exact same thing.
