Knives and Sniper tweaks coming

i would prefer the sniper stayed the way it is. the fact you can't instant kill me while running in my spawn with a scoped rifle is just fine by me.


the knife seems fine and at cod4 level. I think the fact that the guns have become less powerful means that knife has become a better option. Thus creating the illusion that they are more powerful. The only thing i would change is the dual knife gun thing shouldn't have a lung period......

I use default controls, which means keyboard knifing. I dominate with knife.

Am I just awesome?

I was going to go with big headed, conceded, self indulged, diluted, but that works too

i swear the knife has the comando perk by default

that is the bad perception. The black ops maps are big (most of them). the only real difference from lets say cod4, is the fact that cod4 maps are open for the large maps. Black ops maps are big, but there is a corner everywhere that somebody can just appear from. The lung in the knife is more than enough to cover this corner surprise. Thus the knife being a instant kill and most of the time faster than pulling up the sights of a gun, makes it a rape option in most scenarios.


almost every large to medium map in cod4 had almost no hidden spots that you had to travel through to get to the other side of the map realistically.


the problem is the corners that were put into the map as a way to make the map appear bigger/complex. They also might have put the shit ton of corners, because of the rape the map would do to most cpu(mainly 360). The "moving objects" mw2 was so proud of seems to be just as much in Black Ops, but BO has a bigger maps......


I still think that a 4 inch knife slicing a person in the arm =/= 8 5.56 fmj pieces of lead fragmenting into a torso and practically exploding out the back.

but its a game :/ and i think cod4 should use the halo hud system for normal (2 melee to kill 1 melee to take away hud shield)

the only real way to avoid that and calm down the calls for no "super" knife, is to do away with almost every map in the game. You probably could make a 0 lunge knife that would be almost impossible to hit with as well.



2 choices

A) Nerf the knife

B.) ignore the fans (MW2 anyone?)
