Knife physics?

[DARK ANDY]

Hey guys.

I'm wondering if anyone has checked the Knife out thoroughly, and see it's range and where it can connect, collision and things like that.

Say, I'm wondering if the Crosshair is where the Knife would strike, or nearer the Right hand, which is holding it.

Or if looking downwards somewhat when Striking even helps your chances, when you aim at their lower body...

Any help would be appreciated. :)

Actually ive often wondered this myself.
It seems to be on the crosshair, but for somereason it feels like it should be where the fist stops.

ignore the animation. the target point is really small, even though it may look like you hit, you didnt.

Well Usually i go for the chest or head. But the people i usually knife are people i sneak up on that are prone or not paying attetion i think knifing straight on gives you a better chance to hit the guy than angling your knife.....But thats just my theory:)

knife kills i think are always 1 hit kills no matter where yo hit them.. ive poked tons of people in the leg just once and they die.

Man, I wish. I've hit plenty of people in the chest and all you see is that puff of smoke where you hit them. Does anyone know if armor has anything to do with this?

^^ Same here, except I also get the "UGH!" sound effect too to no avail.

I'd like to know how in the hell someone just jumping around can kill me faster than me circle strafing around him and poking.

Re: Knife physics?

hm... i still always kill smoeone in 1 hit with a knife.... in any position.. whether theya re standing up, prone, anything.. just today i was in a knife duel against some other guy and we both had full health... we saw each other jumped out of our jeeps and started swinging lol... i stabbed him once and he died.

afaik armour doesnt affect it. i would say its safe to assume the times you hit somebody w/ a knife and they didnt die were either lag or more likely another of the games logic farts. it happens all the time but its just easier to notice w/ knives.
