Is it just me or does lag comp make it hard to knife?

I swear I miss more than half the time. Trying to time a knife with footsteps is really tough. Seems like they are able to run through my knife 80 percent of the time, and not just when I'm trying to time it either, but anytime I try to knife someone. Anyone else notice that or is it just me? Of course I have no issues if they are camping and facing the other way, but even then there is a slight lag from the time I knife them till the time they die.
I think you're right, it's either that or the devs have made it that way by shrinking the hitbox for regular knife. Knifing someone when they're crouching/prone is especially difficult. You'll have more luck with a pistol with tac knife and the knife lunge when using akimbo USPs seems even more accurate (satisfying too).
Huh....guess it's just us two.
The regular knife attack is really crappy, it's worse than it was in BO. Especially if you're having lag it feels nearly impossible, I use knife a lot, like McZombi said you've got better chance with tactical and the UPS lunge.
Why don't we have the lunge on any other weapon than USP akimbo btw? Doesn't the HD consoles have the lunge for everything...
I don't know but lets keep it this way. Black ops panic knifing was so annoying.
Specially black ops CCP across the map panic knife lunge knifing....God, I hope that if BO 2 ever comes out, the CCP will still be the same way it is in MW3. One of the few things the devs did right was to nerf the CCP. No more aimbot aim assist and no more across the map knifing.
Walk forward and keep your corsshair on the enemy as you knife.
Don't rely on lunging.
I don't rely on lunging and I keep it on the enemy. They just seem to run right through it. Lag comp obviously, but man it's a pain sometimes. If they are running at me, there's almost no point in trying to knife. Just like there is no point in running for cover. You hardly ever make it around that corner without dying. I always run right at people now if I run out of ammo. Better to die trying to kill them then trying to run, making it to safety, and then dying anyway. I keep akimbo as a secondary on some of my classes (depends on the map) in case some noob wants to run around using it, so to be fair, if I run out of ammo, I don't switch to my secondary. It's just wrong. So I try to knife, succeed, and die anyway. Most of the time at least. I mean I could be a douche and switch to akimbo, but that's not how I roll.
I don't knife much since in my first COD game (MWR) knifing just didn't work, the lag was to much.
