Is it just me or does knifing really suck in black ops 2

Posted by zulu27v on Nov 21, 2012 6:04 PM

I've never had a problem with knifing until this black ops 2 it's so bad that if I want to enjoy the occasional stab I have to go play mw3 which is crap they need to do something about that. They want to keep quick scoping but they cave over knifing grow a pair

    They seem to have kind of took the auto-correcting lunge out. Hence why I think it feels much worse. Obviously without that lunge it also feels like you can't knife anything farther than 2inches away.

      The lung is still in. The knifing system is still a glitched piece of fecal matter. They still glitch through shot "fired". It is broken and always will be.

        Is it really? I have knifed a total of 30 times or so probably in almost 70hrs of play and I have done it so few times cause it absolutely blows. I haven't even noticed the lunge.

    Player hitboxes are smaller, so you have to knife more on point.

    I think it is just about right. No lunge and you can't just swing in the vicinity of the player and get the random kill, you have to be on target.

     

    If you don't use a secondary, or use the ballistic knife, you get a more effective lunge. If "OnlyUseMeBlade" isn't complaining, I don't see why you should be.

    sometime im sure my knife is made of paper because i can be standing right next to them and some how not kill them, but id rather that happen than some of the videos i made from mw3 and mw2 where they seem to run past you and still get you

    I personally prefer the knife in this game. I have always feel cheated by commando lunges through bullets (yes, I have been on the good side of them as well) and have always been an advocate of removing it completely. This way you can't say it sucks or is too good.

    I think the knifing in the game is a lot better no crazy lunges, a lot of the maps suit a knife only game style that I like to run every now and then.

     

    The combat knife and the ballistic knife are fun to use in the right hands like 'onlyusemeblade' style as Nicedrewishfella said above.

    The lunge is crazy. I've had over 300 kills with the knife and I've lunged through shotgun blasts and even clear through people. The hit detection is awful though, I've lost count of the times I've warped straight through stationary people and been shot in the back.

    The knifing seems really bad in this game, and I dont mean from a power standpoint.

     

    50% of my knife attempts that "lock on" to the target, and go directly through his character model fail to regester.

    Knifing seems a lot harder in BO2.  On my screen it seems as if I'm knifing an opponent only 1 - 2 feet away.  I miss - my opponent whips out his laptop and watches the entire Dark Knight trilogy, orders a bucket from KFC and finishes it off with a cool six pack before aiming down the sight and filling my fleshy statue with bullets.  All during the time it takes me to recover from my failed knife swipe

      Watching the dark knight trilogy lol.

       

      At least hes having fun while playing BO2, unlike the rest of us.

    I'd rather knifing be virtually useless than go back to the teleporting commando crap we had in MW2.

    The default knife is virtually useless, if you miss you're basically screwed. The combat knife you get is much quicker, but still akward at times.

    I've never had a problem except once last night, I snuck up behind someone and knifed them but instead of gettign a kill I was "sucked" off the map!

     

    I'd put the video up but we can't render more than a second or two at the moment.

    Yeah, because a knife beats bullets any day...

     

    Let's move out of the middle ages and make the knife more like BF3.

      im glad they made the knife harder to use as it was always way to quick and powerful...

       

      It has also made some funny moments in the game were ive met someone close quarters and both try to stab and we both dont  wana give up on the stab so its constant slicing at each other for 30 seconds until one of us dies!

    Until they make the melee 2 hits from front and execution from behind it will always be a flawed system.

    It is a bit more difficult but, I think that has to do with the "latency compensation" they have put into place due to connection differences.

    No knifing is great. No moe lung bullshit. It's also harder to panic knife which is awesome.

    I still think knifing needs a nerf.

     

    Launching attacks trough bullets is bit riddicilous.

    Look its a game. Make believe. Im a hand-to-hand combat instructor and melee is not a fantasy  and neither is a realistic accelerated jump or lunge. But wow there are sure a lot of complaints about knifers, and maybe its because we actually use our minds and patients and use a tactical advantage to get close enough to slice a throat or belly open and its pretty embarrasing to see your own kidneys up for sale on the black market. BTW, has anyone in here ever shot through a high powered scope? Because this quick-scoping crap is THE most unrealistic junk in the game. I have a Remington .308 with a Burris Eliminator and a S&W 30-.06 with a Swarovski and I promise you, its extremely hard to hit your mark on a time crunch in prone, let alone standing with a 15 lb rifle with extended technical eye relief. So yes they need to fix the knives in this game, they created an entire knife kit for Gods sake and you cant even kill anyone with it! Also, have you noticed that the ballistic knife wont fire while moving? you have to be damned neaar stopped before it will fire. Goin back to MW and praying number 4 arrives soon.

    Keep knifing knifers!! And keep rooting those little Girl Scouts out of their tents with their gay quickscoping! BOPS is for campers

    The knifing is horrendous in BO2. You can turn a corner and be face to face with an enemy and knife point-blank only to be met with a swoosh in the air followed by a delayed bang from the enemy realizing he should be dead but was saved by glitch/lag/crappy coding.

      I've walked silently on someone sniping on say, overflow in the construction area and knife, two three times only to have them turn around and quickscope me! I learned my lesson there but One in the chamber? I've gone thru 30 second real time knife fights, and then see the final kill cam where the guy knife's the air five feet from me and my neck gets hit....Maybe its the lag compesation, don't say its my connection, speedtest.net says I got 14.92download speeds, so I KNOW my connection is fast.

    The hit box for knifing needs to be increased, and even more so for the assault shield melee attack.  That thing can not afford to miss, but it does all the time.

     

    There hasn't been commando perk for three games now, get over it.  Being knifed is the penalty for letting an enemy get that close to you. 

     

    Now it is so hard to knife someone that when you and an enemy both run out of bullets and start the knife dance, the winner is always the person who realizes, after missing 5 knife attacks in a row, that he actually does have time to reload, because the other guy isn't ever going to land a knife attack on him.  This has happened to me multiple times.

     

    I have the assault shield and combat knife gold, and will get the ballistic knife gold sooner or later.  I can do it, but that doesn't mean it isn't broken.
