Bad Company 2 tweaks

[Aegis]

stupid idea. for one: knifing already has a greater failure rate from the front -see being shot. for another: huh? htf would you justify that?!

[OverDrive]

knife should be instakill from behind, and do no damage at all from the front. it's not hard.

I agree completely.

[Joshuayu101]

How exactly have they nerfed the knife? Is it a range thing? If shorter, how is that a bad thing? It was ridiculous before.

Well if your the victim thats about to get knifed, you have about 70% chance of surviving the first stab

i dont believe they've done anything directly to the knife, it just doesnt register hits 95% of the time now instead of the previous 20%. also that range thing on the knife is lag.

How?

your issue is that a full clip doesn't always guarantee a kill. my issue is that a purely pointblank weapon is barely working at all.

the full clip/no kill thing can happen anytime - not just when someone's about to knife you. it's just more prevalent when trying to fend off a knifing because people panic and hold the trigger down then more than they do at other times and sustained fire almost guarantees not all the bullets will hit (in this game) no matter how close the bad guy is.

i don't care what your feelings about the knife are, when you cant stab someone who's standing, unawares, in front of you by the 5th attempt, that's a problem.

This has changed the whole game for me. Back to the drawing board regarding my weapon choices. I can't believe they've done this. So stupid.

[Evil]

What was changed.

Blue improvements, Red nerfs.

[OverDrive]

that's a different issue entirely, OD.

How?

Knife nerfed eh? Good. Sick and fucking tired of unloading a whole clip into a guy at point blank range and him swinging a knife once and killing me instantly.

[kernal]

i didn't experience any lag issues, I did however have to stab a sniper in the back 4 times before he died... Me thinks there also has to be a way to stop retards from taking the chopper and bailing just to get into the fight quicker, leaving me to perish in the burning wreak after the pilot-less chopper crashes and burns.

[Aegis]

two types of lag: network and graphical - i definitely dont have graphic lag (unless that black flicker is indicative of something worse) and my ping was the same as ever. at the suggestion of someone on mumble I checked the pings of the people i was trying to stab and only one had a bad ping.

[craZy C]

Most of my issues stem from the lag type being experienced. Knife kills were still simple enough for me and I found no graphical glitches. Weapons have been nerfed a bit to much as some produce way better than they should. I guess it will be another patch.

[Aegis]

the game, following that nerf bat attack, is now shit.

knifing is far worse than ever before.
the mortar strike is less effective than a bucket of water.
i now get horrible black flickering when i walk near a building - destroyed or otherwise (nvidia driver update didn't fix this and it wasnt happening before the patch).
the M60 is now a better sniping weapon than any of the sniper rifles.

but the knifing is what really shits me. out of probably 20 knife attempts last night, i got 3 tags - normally that would be closer to 15 -except in this instance i swung and missed up to 5 times on most of the attempts including against at least one sniper who was stationary as i moved around him trying to hit the fucker.
