    Get good with your knife!

    I know a lot of players dislike using the knife and many players follow an idea of "stick that damn knife away and just shoot him!" But aside from using your knife just to get badges and running away slashing the whole game wasting a space on the server and hurting the team because this persons k/d is so terrible(unless you're timsad) there is upside to using that knife.

    I've gotten more skilled with the knife and i've been noticing how much it helps. I usually play assault and constantly find myself rushing into groups of enemies, maybe 3-4. When you're up against 3-4 enemies there's a high chance of dieing unless in the case where maybe you get a noob in one of these 3-4 enemy groups and you have decent cover, you stand a good chance. However, when you aren't confident you will have enough ammo in your gun and pistol and not enough time to reload, the only weapon you have left is that knife. People usually are able to take out 2-3 enemies with a pistol and gun ammo without reloading, so when there is an enemy around the corner coming for you, your best move is to find a spot behind a wall or some kind of cover drawing the enemy toward you, and when he is rounding the area where you are hiding, the knife does the good trick of instant killing without him expecting it.

    So i'm sure there are other tatics to use when you are up against a group of enemies (granted, i don't mean all 3-4 enemies firing upon you at one time, but in close proximity), but i think the idea of "knife is bad" isn't always true especially in situations where you have to fall back on your knife.

    My Message: Get good with your knife, learn how to use it, it's range and you'll find yourself getting out of those sticky situations sometimes and humiliating your enemy when he thinks he's got you out of ammo.

    I suck hardcore using a knife.

    This helped me understand why I always get killed when facing a "knifer".

    Thanks!

          What we need is a bit more Metal Gear Solid philosophy in the next Battlefield. I mean we've already got stealth camo and metal gears, so why not integrate Solid Snake choke holds??

          It'd be great if you could hold secondary fire when behind someone with the knife to get them in a chokehold for about 10 seconds instead of outright killing them, thus using them as a human shield. If his buddies try to shoot you, they risk hitting him and earning a TK.

          It'd take knife combat to a whole new dimension. Consider this a suggestion, Dice guys. ;D

              Never played on an FF-off server in my entire time of owning BF2142, and only a handful of times with BF2. I barely consider it the real thing thanks to the excessively unrealistic tactics it allows (lol RDX lol).

              Maybe holding someone there as a human shield would mean their body would take 75% of the damage of each shot? At least then it'd still be useful in FF-off servers, the idea of the technique in general being so you can get close to cover (dragging) before dropping them.

                Advantage of the knife; you never run out of ammo and it kills instantly.

                        I like a lot knifing the guy hidden in the narrow spot of a silo launcher, where he can be shoot only from is front. They always thing because he is ready, crouched and aiming everywhere that he will kill is opponent. 70% of the time I kill this poor guy with my gun and get wounded, and 100% of the time with the knife and at full health. 'cause when he finally see you, you're right in is face with your blade and at the right distance to slash...

                          I used to knife guys hiding in the silo spot. Until I met Mr. Clark.
                          Now I do it the save way: Throw a frag grenade or use the AR rockets. The risk of being blasted in bits (or bytes) is not worth the risk.

                            I have the knife assigned to the thumb button on my G5 so I can pull it out quite easily and get knife kills when I want to.

                            That is, when the knife hits register.

                              the defib has a much longer range and more forgiving as well. plus i like to see the enemy fly off his feet when he gets zapped =D
