Howabout they put in a new type of weapon

[MadWolf 0]

You want to use a knife for stealth kills?

No specops will be so stupid to risk his life with a knife.

A silences pistol like the Socom make the noise of a lighter turning on.

You want it for close combat?

If you are in close combat with enemy, are you going to throw your rifle away and pick your knife, or are you going to break your rifle on his nose?

Ok, make a knife, I agree, but i think that an useable canteen and torch will result more useful.

We can always use: Dont like=no download

the only knife in OFP should be a bayonet.

you should be able to fix it to your rifle. Heck, they could use the same mounting animation as the rifle grenade

I wonder why BIS didn't make those nice rifle butting and swinging animations available in the game?

[MadWolf 0]

Someone, time ago shown an attackable bayonet for a rifle, but i didn't heard about it anymore.

It's just not worth it. OFP doesn't need a knife, and I would rather have people working on addons that might actually be useful instead of turning OFP into a Ginsu simulator

Fine then, you make it- I'd rather that BIS keeps working on stuff that would actually help the game, as opposed to things that "wouldn't hurt it"

Hey! BIS made a pistol for you just because YOU asked.

I even remember you saying something like "Maybe in the next patch, theyll remember us spray and pray boys".

You started all THAT up. You got what you want. None of us complained.

what's the point of that remark ?

[IceFire 0]

le lire encore. Heh, (sorry if I screwed that up).

[ran 0]

you screwed up

and the good old "you don't like , you don't download" argument plainly sucks and lacks imagination , you'll have to download the addon if map makers come up with the fanstatic idea of using it on their MP and SP maps

and armored vehicles , REAL infantry weapons , ships and aircrafts addon will always have my priority over useless addons such as civilian sport cars , UFO's and knives when i'll download them

[IceFire 0]

Well BIS can just incorporate this into the official game. Just make it apart of everyplayers permanent inventory, like the compas and watch. People don't have to use them.

"Lire ca encore"?

I think this is how a knife would work best in OFP

First of all it would only work when the enemys not facing u and u aim for the neck area.

Secondly if u succesfully eliminate ur target it auto hides the body like when ur a regular black op and need to clear up after watsing bad guys.

not hard is it , just a regular hitscan shot with limited range and a few conditions

I haven't read all 7 pages of this topic. But I'd have to say I wouldn't mind knives. Now, at the thought of it, no it sounds like a P.O.S. idea. But my multiplayer experiences tell me other wise. I think there is room for a knife in OFP. Several times I wish I would have had a knife on me in MP.

No they didn't. I was never one of the people who were hell-bent on getting pistols ingame, and even in the context of that argument, I fail to see what that quote that you attribute to me (I dont remember it, but I might have said it, dunno) has anything to do with the price of rice in China, so to speak.

[Tex -USMC- 0]

In MP, a knife would only be useful in the context of idiots running around my spawn stabbing me in the back while Im loading my RPG. Where do I sign up?

[Aaron Kane 0]

Knives would be worthless. Name one ingame moment that a kinfe would be more useful than an MP5. Its silent too, and it fires faster, and most likely hurts more.

Tex is right though, knives would only be used by losers camping spawning areas in MP. Theres no PRACTICAL use for them ingame, except for a very small, very unimportant role which is better filled by SMG's and pistols.

[TWANG III 0]

Better yet how about everyone gets massive 18 INCH LONG STEEL DILDOS. They can ram them up the ass to receive health, and hit people in the head with them and kill em. Damn thats a good idea. Better and more useful than a knife!

[Placebo 29]

Well that wasn't particularly mature now was it, I would imagine you really don't care about being PR'd, but you are anyways, I guess 48 hours will do for now, should you decide you want them back feel free to contact me.

You sure you didn't?

Hmm, I seem to remember someone named Tex come up with the idea to have pistols.

Ok, nevermind. But I still say we oughtta get our knives. It would be nice to be able to sneak up to and slice up some bad guys!

[Major Fubar 0]

LMAO @ Twang...immature, but I still laughed.

Anyway, IceFire, if you are so keen for a knife, why don't you start working on one? The tools are out there, and I can't imagine a combat knife would be very hard to model or skin...and you could maybe base the proximity damage on Kegetys drill.

The main problem would be the animation of stabbing with it.

Personally, I wouldn't bother downloading it, but I would be interested to see how it turned out.

When they make another flashpoint are they going add knifes and pistols ?

[IceFire 0]

We already got pistols. Now all we need are the knives!
