Re: Question about the Katana? For POE guys..

Is it really a Katana, are just a big knofe and everyone is just using katana to describe it

If so does it just use the stock BF2 animations or are there proper animations, does he hold it with 2 hands, what type of strikes does he do?

sorry for all the questions Im just really curious to this as I LOVE japanese swordsmanship and am really hopeful that the devs took time to implement this, and did some research(Im sure they did though, as these guys are real proffesional)

The Way of the Sword is pretty precise. I will try to track the game and see if the proper animations are used. The strikes Im not so sure about because it depends on the mental situation of the sword holder in battle. The game may not replicate more than just one strike.

darn the katana has stock BF2 animations (but I forgive you because I know how hard it is to do animations:hmm:) plus I realize its just for fun.

On a side note the model looks great, just wish the blade was a little thinner, and more shiny-





mmm shiny

on another side note..Ouch..lol-

Does the katana parry bullets or is it just a big knife?

I can't be the only person that found this question humorous lol........ just imagine deflecting bullets like in Hong Kong martial arts action cinemas.

Re: Question about the Katana? For POE guys..

It may interest you all to know that the US Marines once did a filmed test of a katana's supposed ability to deflect bullets. They put a katana in a vice and set up a M2 .50 cal MG and started firing at the edge. After maybe 5 seconds the blade did break, but not before it had sliced several of the projectiles. Fragments embedded in the wall behind the blade clearly showed a pattern..the blade had a "wake" behind it, where a lot fewer fragments had gone.

I wouldn't recommend it as a defense, but in terms of the blade's ability to deflect bullets, it can. I'm sure that video is possible to find somewhere on the internet.

Cheers :-)

Re: Question about the Katana? For POE guys..

I know where the Kartake is, but I heard of another one in Fallen.
Where is it?
Me and 2 other guys tryed to find the second one, but no luck.
I know you have to cap the flag nearest to the rocks at the south part of the river.
I need to find that UFO and that Sweet looking .50 sniper rifle that looks like the one from halo 2

Re: Question about the Katana? For POE guys..

The UFO isn't in any maps. You have to manually add it to a map, single player only obviously...

Re: Question about the Katana? For POE guys..

single player do's not work it POE:hmm:
