Well anyway 52 votes for the ones who DO want knifes/bayonets ! And 50 votes for the ones who dont!

I couldnt agree more. I mean i my opinion fastroping is the useless thing in a game like arma 2. So why do people get all snappy when it comes to bayonets?

Who are you to tell us that bis will not implement it? I mean you seem to do everything in your power to stop it dont ya? Well i hope you get shot by the AI uncountable times when you run out of ammo !! and then you go crying home to mamma begging here to make bis implement a virtual knife!

Well 28 people want knifes and bayonets at this point

Eskrima is for underwater fighting? Your kidding me right? Since when do the seals fight man to man underwater witch there scuba gear on? Eskrima is a martial art from the phillipines man not underwater fighting.

They dont teach soldiers how to stab? Ever heard of eskrima knife fighting? Extremly effective even the navy seals train in eskrima. ---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ---------- Ask an Israeli soldier how he deals with an armed combatant within reach distance? The awnser is shoot him? WRONG you cannot shoot an unarmed person! I know exaclty what the israeli soldier would use . KRAV MAGA!

If they did i would make my own target practice range for the guns with targets. And fresh unarmed chedaki meat to work my blade on as well

No not really. Like i said i was firing at a couple of enemys behind cover of a house leaning to the right when an enemy rifleman had flanked me from the left. i saw him and he had his back towards me. I wanted to reload but the ammo indicator showed 0/3 and was red . So for some reason ( i think it was a bug) i couldt reload. Then he turned around and shot me. Man he was so close i could smell him . If i had a knife or a baynet i could have taken him easily.

Really jocktamson that is a great idea!

Thats not really true. When in a target rich invirement you can run out of ammo . And reloading takes longer then to stab with a knife. Really i wouldnt ask for it if i really never had situations where they came in handy! And if there is someone that plays tacticall i,m it ! I allways conserve ammo and use semi as much as possible not to run out of ammo. What is the most amazing about this whole knife/bayonet thing is that if you would add it you would have more options! Seems that people just dont want to see the benefit of this . Or they simply like another " option "

Exactly what i mean.

9 not in our favour so far huh? I guess its becuase most people think its arcady. I dont. I think the arma 2 engine would not allow for the knife to be used in an arcade fasion

I voted yes. I had 2 encounters where i did not have a sidearm and ran out of ammo and was killed because i did not have a knife. both of them were in urban combat. Must have and the only thing missing in arma 2 at the moment. ---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ---------- Could you please explaint why you guys voted for yes or no.

This was just a question if it could be added in an future patch.

I will support this because i had this situation i have allready came in a couple of situations where i really needed one and died because i didnt have one. Sure never in the open field but in urban combat i sure could need one. I was in twice such situation in the same single player mission. I think it was trail by fire where i think bacause of a bug my m249 refused to reload and an Ai guy was coming around the corner i was taking cover behind . his back faced me but he turned around and shot me. Really if i had a knife i had time enough to take it from my gear and stab him. It really felt like a shortcoming. Not that arma2 has many but it felt this way non the less. The second time was when i ran out of ammo in the same mission not far from where the other incident happend. So how about it Bis? Would a knife be possible in a future patch? Cant we have some petition for the implementation of a knife or bayonet?
