    Knife Registration

    This has been frustrating me for quite a while. It's been happening more and more often. Usually, when I knife someone from a dive, or stab them quicky, all I see is dust. They don't die. I also often get them numerous times in a row (record was SIX times) with the knife (hear and see the stab), and yet they do not die. It's not my frame rates because I get over 70+ FPS most of the time. Does this happen to anyone else? Any solutions? I'm tired of trying to knife because this happens more than half the time..

    it happens to me all the time.

    lots of times i stab stationary enemies and hear the stab of meat and obviously hit them, no lag on server, but it doesnt kill them.

    i usually just quickly do it again and it works, however it has been responsible for maybe a dozen of my deaths, where i knifed a guy who then shot me. annoying cause i lose the knife kill and die unjustly....

              hmmm..well, from my side, I've never really understood the problems everyone else seems to be having.

              Knifing really is the most reliable weapon, per say, as EVERY first stab has always been registered, and nomatter where I place it, it's always a kill.

              I've been trying out the AT-Kit and such lately, and if I see someone just a bit out of range of my DAO12, I prefer to simply pull out my knife, sprint up, and knife them even if they're moving and dancing around.

              When I knife, I don't click until My body is actually into the victims. Don't run up and think you're close enough, but actually run into the player and knife.

                I just experienced my first failure to kill w/ a knife

                Dont just stab them, stab all the way thru them, & out the other side

                peace

                  It happens all the time, esp since 1.22, it is very annoying...

                      This is most likely the syncronization for multiplayer. If you play single player you'll notice the knife is much better, and you will always get registered.. Same goes with the TV Rocket..

                        Hence why I don't use the knife.

                          it's indeed a problem, and when the enemy turns around it's an even bigger problem

                            My theory is "effect as intended". Its a hit, but armor blocks it, thus the dust poof.

                            Same thing happens with guns.. you can land a hit, but the armor deflects it. You notice it more when you're getting shot at from a distance.

                            I could be wrong, but the above is my opinion

                              Yeah, that could be possibly it.. But is it also normal if the player resists 3 slashes in a row..?
