Knifing helmets

[wenZECA]

Dont know if this has been said before but you can knife dead soldiers helmets off

scary.

[pilvlp]

Wow. Never knew that. :P

Dude the helmets fall off whenever they are critically wounded, not you knifing them off.

[D3lit3]

I think reconkid's right. And there I was all hyped up

[wenZECA]

NOOOOO the guy had his helmet on when he was dead but i actually did knife it off

[tonks950]

Yeh that happens. Even if you hadn't knifed him his helmet would've come off.

I am sure its this:

Un-revivable = no helmet then fade off.
Revivable = helmet.

[tonks950]

Well I guess then I will have to test it sometime.

[Dtneter]

well cud be possible though but vika unrezzable is when they are like already downed for 10secs then fade and their helmets mostly go away after 2-3 secs so.

[wenZECA]

correction they do actually go away by themselves... the first time i knifed this guys head must have been spot on timing lol

[pilvlp]

I knifed someones helmet off today. It really does work.

Well I'd call being knifed to the head as critically wounded so basically dude did knife the guys helmet off.

I might actually use that as a ingame death threat: "I'm gonna knife your helmet off"

Its called death blow. They are critically wounded but you can kill them so they cant be revived. knife them or shoot them. When theyre "dead" their helmet fades away. Many games work like this and if i remember correctly BF2 and BF2142 have deathblow

Every kit has a different helmet. When you kill sy, he loses the kit after 2-3 seconds.
This means, if your timing is good, then you can "knife the helmet off the dead soldier's head." Whoa! What a trick!

btw. In those 2-3 seconds, you cannot take the dead soldiers kit, this is why you have to wait when you want to revive with recon
